Romeo & Juliet Gets Dark

This book has to be in my top 10 so far for this month...I'd even venture so far as to say for the year so far. It was so good!! This was retelling that I enjoyed from beginning to end!! I didn't want to put this down after I started it!! I highly recommend Rose and Roman's story!! I will preface this by saying that there is definitely a lot of triggers in this book. It is probably darker than the original in that Rose goes through so much more than the original Juliet does. Abuse from all sides and it just hurts to read. Her family are some of the worst people that I have read in a book. I won't spoil anything with them because there was someone who I thought was on her side but turned out to be worse than some of the others that I thought were bad. I really wanted Rose to get some backbone. She was definitely the definition of a damsel in distress but you can't blame her after seeing how she grew up and what she's delt with in life. There is also some misunderstanding that keeps them apart for awhile so if that is a turn off for you then be prepared! The pay off at the end is worth it...even though it ends in a cliffy. 

    There is definitely some spice in this book and it was great once it finally got started. I would give the  spice a 3.5 out of 5. There wasn't much of it and some of it was in a flash back but what was there was great!! Overall I'd give this book a 3.9 out of 5. It's hard for me to give it a 4 simply because most of the action is coming from Roman. I love it when a FMC gives as good as she gets. Man do the people in this story deserve to get their just deserts!! I can't wait to pick up the next book in this series though because whew it was so good!!

  This was a spicy and fun read! I really enjoyed getting to know the Sokolov brothers! Their story was tragic and crazy but definitely worth the ride that we went on in this book! This book has what you can expect from an omegaverse book, muscle bound alphas with aggression issues, middle of the road betas and the soft spoken and often over looked omegas. The omegas in this world are pretty much subject to whatever the alpha's want. They are believed to just be bed warmers. I do like the idea that the omega's have power that can only be used to it's full potential if the alpha that bonds them actually cares about them. It makes the men have to actually try to care if they want power. Most of the omega's in this world do not have access to their gifts past puberty due to them not forming bonds that are forged with love. Of course this is something that most alpha's ignore and has been lost, for the most part, to the pages of history. Until vengeance brings these two

 This book was probably better than I thought it was going to be. I really enjoyed the characters and the world that was built. It was very light on the romance but it definitely managed to shine through when needed. I also would like to add that it did feel like it kind of dragged at certain points in the story and I would have liked if some things were sped up a little. Other than that though things were nice. The story of Max and how he came to be how he was, was tragic. Of course that's the truth of some of the "heroes" of wars. I am interested in seeing how things continue in the next book. Not only with Max, but definitely with Tisannah and the order. I also want to say that I listened to this in it's audiobook form and this was it was um...interesting. You could hear everything with this audio. I mean everything. Every breath that the voice actors took, any noise in their background, page turns and everything. I have been spoiled with these full cast audios and
