V Games: Dead Before Dawn by Caroline Peckham

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I think of writing as an art form- painting a picture for readers using words that soak your soul in colors, emotions, and images. A good artist/author creates characters that evoke emotion -may that be anywhere on the spectrum between adoration and repulsion.

I can honestly say this book raised my blood pressure over and over. Ulvic- such a complicated character. In love with his tormentor- hiding his sexuality- his fascination with wolves…THIS guy drove me fucking nuts. My skin crawled every time he made an appearance in the book. A character so well written that he has haunted me since the second book in the series.

More great writing- the relationship between Varick and Selena. These two just don’t have it easy! Try overcoming the 200+ years of torture (poor Varick), the years of abuse from her stepfather (Selena), the absolute mind fuck and emotional scarring brought on my the V games, and now being an “interracial couple”… these characters own my heart.

Loved this book and as a result my emotions are in a tizzy.

I happily offer this honest review and am grateful the author honored me with an early copy.
