“Try your best to destroy me, Arthur. Try your best to break me apart. But I’ll still be here when you’re exhausted, my claws sunk deeply into your flesh as you drag us both to hell.”
“I won’t let you go,” he warned, and shivers ran down my spine at the malevolent honesty of the threat. “You want to rule at my side? Then I’ll never let you leave me. If you walk by my side, you can never ever fucking leave.” I was making a binding contract with the devil. An Adley’s word is his bond … that’s what Arthur had said in the pit. He was waiting for the verbal agreement to be signed. Waiting for me to finally hand over my soul.
“I am your queen. And you are my king. Your dark kingdom is now ours.” I removed my bloodied hand from his chest and drew a cross over my heart with my finger. “Forever.”
And that was when he broke. My world shook as Arthur smashed his mouth to mine.

J'ai fort apprécié ce tome. Je me suis bien accrochée aux personnages.
Et l'histoire était vraiment bien écrite, on plongeait vraiment dedans.

Une Dark Romance comme seule Tillie sait les écrire. Un monde de la mafia juste addictive.

L’histoire est de la romance dark mais les scènes de sexe mélangées parfois à du sang ne m’ont pas plu.
L’utilisation à outrance du « fuck » quand Arthur parle m’a également déplu.
L’histoire sinon se laisse lire.
Je ne lirai pas la suite même si la fin du roman augure d’une suite qui sera bien menée.

C'était un bon livre mais je ne peux m'empêcher de le comparer à ses livres sur les Hangmen et je trouve qu'il y a quand même beaucoup de ressemblances. L'ensemble est bon et on se laisse rapidement emporter, puis certains passages sont de toute beauté.

Un livre de Tillie Cole ? Je fonce !
Cette histoire est violente, sanglante mais qu'est-ce que je l'aime !
J'adore comment Tillie Cole écrit ses histoires, elle créer des personnages complètement fêlés et psychopathes mais je m'attache énormément à eux.
Les rebondissements sont hallucinants... vivement le tome 2 !
J'ai complètement disjoncté quand on rencontre le chapitre londonien des Hades Hangmen... vivement la suite aussi parce que ça manque grave aussi !
Longue vie à la Dark Romance !

Résumé
Cheska Harlow-Wright was born into a life of luxury and privilege. She has never wanted for anything. A comfortable future as a married London socialite awaits her. But since the age of thirteen, Cheska has harboured a secret—an unshakeable fixation on a boy who could never offer her anything close to comfort. A boy steeped in sin and draped in depravity. A boy born into the possessive embrace of darkness.
When Cheska’s seemingly perfect world is ripped apart by an unknown but deadly enemy, there’s only one person she can run to. One person in the world who has the power to keep her safe. The one person her weak and shattered heart craves.
Arthur Adley. The new head of the most feared crime family in London.
Forced too young to take the helm of the Adley firm, Arthur has become even more ruthless, formidable, and cold than ever before. His enemies are circling, and he must fight—and kill—to maintain his family’s place at the top of the London crime underworld. There is no room for weakness, emotion, or loss of control.
But then Cheska smashes back into his life with the force of a wrecking ball. She has no place in this dark, vicious, and bloodthirsty world. And worse, she is the solitary chink in his impenetrable armour. He’s already pushed her away once, but this time she desperately needs him. She’s broken, lost, and in danger, and he is the only one who can help.
Arthur must protect her. He must destroy those who dare to threaten her, hunt down those who would take what is his. He would raze all of London to the ground to keep her safe… but can he also protect himself?
The infamous Dark Lord of London Town faces his most brutal battle yet—the crippling weight of the past, the unrelenting enemies lurking in the shadows… and the havoc that Cheska’s presence is wreaking on the granite fortress that was once his heart.
