What a fantastic book! I loved reading about Marcus and Aerina and the Virmortus. I loved practically everything about this book. This is such an underrated book that more people NEED to check out.
Be prepared, because the story starts with a bang. You jump right into the action from the very first page. This is a fast-paced story that never had a dull moment. I didn't even realize I had reached the end until I flipped the last page on my kindle.
The story is told in third person and set in a dystopian world. Our main characters, Aerina and Marcus, must discover the truth about Alba before it is too late. The romance, mystery, and action was executed flawlessly and I am very impressed.
"Nothing matters but your job"
Marcus is the deadly Alpha Virmortus, who is a combination of an assassin a, a commander, and the police. He likes to be in control of everything-the Virmortus, his emotions, and even Aerina. But he is not your typical "I am male, hear-me-roar" alpha. He doesn't try to control everything about Aerina, just when it comes to her safety. In other words, he doesn't suffocate her, just protects her. Marcus is actually a vulnerable guy. He doesn’t feel worthy of love and Aerina, because of his past. He struggles with his loyalty to the Consul and Alba and his need to protect Aerina. Marcus is a very complex character and he felt very real to me.
"This is all your fault"
It is very difficult to find a female lead that is strong and smart, but doesn’t come off as stubborn and naive. Aerina is that type of character. She doesn’t cower and hide from the truth, but she tries to unravel it. She is independent and fights for what she thinks is right even when others disagree, but isn't afraid to ask for help when she needs it. One of my favorite things about this book is that Aerina does not hide her feelings about Marcus. From the very beginning, she admits to herself and him, that she likes him and pursues him, even after he rejects her. There aren't many female leads that actually go after the guy instead of have the guy come after her. Her relationship was Marcus was so delightful to read. She also doesn't hide anything from Marcus, which is nice relief. I know they have past, so I hope we get to read more it in the future.
I picked this book when I was browsing through Amazon and it sounded interesting and it was free so I thought I would give it a chance. Boy, am I glad I did, because this is a great dystopian story that I think does not get enough attention. I can't wait for the next book!
