Start your review of Requiem of the Soul (The Society Trilogy, #1)

A. Zavarelli is single handedly responsible for my love of mafia romance, so when I saw she was releasing something similar with Natasha Knight, I knew I had to get my hands on it immediately! I didn't even read the blurb. I just trusted that it would be fucking fantastic, and I wasn't wrong!

anytime a mafia man is shown as this ruthless, revenge-driven killer but as the story progresses he becomes a lowkey softie I'm like:

Santiago was a cruel yet still, an empathetic anti-hero. I liked how naturally drawn to Ivy he was and how Ivy saw through his pain and the physical reminders of it. I love arranged marriage as a trope, add in the enemies aspect and a gradual progression of both MC's caring for each other, fighting the hate & I'm a goner. But that ending tho...

I must confess my fickle aesthetic mind was captured by this enticing cover, then I found out two top notch authors came together to deliver a sinful dark tale, and if I wasn’t already sold all my trusted reader friends confirmed this was, indeed, a must read. There was no choice but surrender. So now, here I am, to tell you, my fellow readers, if you haven’t sunk your teeth into this yet don’t wait any longer. A dark story, secret profoundly patriarchal society, mystery, s ...more

OMG THE ENDING !!!! This story has so many twist and turns. Santiago is a devil you will love to hate. I can't wait to get more of him. Seriously I better get more of him. Ivy is a good heroine and just what Santiago needs.. There are some dark parts and some sexy parts. I really hope one person gets what is coming to him and I'm pretty sure he will. This was a great story!! I loved it !!

I don't have much to say about the story except that nothing stands out. Like I haven't read about any of this 1001 times. 😑 A big bad guy (we have to take his word for that) marries a girl to execute his revenge and after some weird ass occultic ceremonies they embark on their sex fest mingled with spanking sessions.

Wow - what the hell did I just read?! It’s been so long since I read some GOOD dark romance that just swallowed me up and wouldn’t let me go until the last word. How the heck is this the first time I’m reading either one of these authors? I’m punching my own face over here.

Absolutely excellent.

Silence and darkness. They are my two constant requirements in life.
The devilsh and talented duo of authors A. Zavarelli and Natasha Knight offer with Requiem of the Soul a heart-pounding arranged marriage/revenge story.
How far would you go to get revenge against the family who destroyed yours? Santiago De La Rosa has certainly the determination and the ruthlessness to go through his plan. Taking the young Ivy as his bride, he has one thing in mind: to make her suffer.
Ivy, twelve years his y ...more

I need to catch my breath... This story was intricately woven with dark secrets, mysterious pasts, a sizzling alphahole, and a twisted plot that has you begging for the next part of the story. Santiago is the hero you love to hate. He’s not for the faint of heart but he’s darkly delicious in that pitch black soul.

Romance and revenge collide
A story of the head of the de la Rosa power family, Santiago, and his vengeance against a non-sovereign family who brought fatal harm to the de la Rosa line; Ivy, the oldest daughter is to pay the price.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. It reminded me old revenge-themed romances of yore but with a modern edge. As much as Santiago claims he will exact justice on Ivy is as much as you see his struggle -- and hers -- not to succumb to any loving feeling. In love ...more

―“You belong to me now, Ivy Moreno, for better or for worse. Until death do us part.”
The moment the book went live, I hurried to my room―put a 'do not disturb me' sign―and devoured it in one extended sitting because right from the start, I was utterly riveted by this story. I couldn't bear to put it down.
Side note: the sign was useless because I was disturbed—several times. The audacity!

He didn't count on developing feelings other than hatred for her. But, is Ivy proving to him she's not like everyoe else in the twisted world they inhabit? Why is he developing such possessive need for her? Will it affect his quest for vengeance?

Dynamic writing duo Natasha Knight and A Zavarelli have done it again! Both of these writers are absolutely brilliant in their own right but together they make magic and I cannot wait to see how the rest of this series continues.

Wow. This book is.. Wow. I need a moment to finde myself. Its been a long time since I read a book I just couldnt put down. I was thinking about it all day, and couldnt wait to get Home to finish reading. My absolut favorit genre. Dark religious cult, with so much erotic power. And the biggest A**hole you can finde.
Its just the right kind of twisted dark story that I love. 2 fantastic talented authers who have put their mindes together and made magic.

This book was very good. .The story flowed and the fact that two of my favorite authors teamed up for it yeah this series is going to be awesome. I loved that Santiago was not a normal main hero with good looks and he was damaged it made him feel real. I really liked him and have to add him to my book boyfriend catalog. Now Ivy I’m not sure how I feel about her. I know she is young but not sure how young but that did not take away from the fact that this book was soo good. I need book 2 now. Tha

I was given an advance readers copy of this book and have decided to write a voluntary. These two authors collaborating together are truly amazing. Requiem of the soul was very dark, dirty. It made me upset want lash out. To be honest I don't like Santiago very much right now. Ivy deserves so much better. Everthing hes done and put her through. Ya no I'm not on board with how he treats her, revenge or not he's gone a bit far in my eyes. I know some might think differently but his father obviousl

I love Dark romance. Especially if it is fraught with tension and mystery. This book definitely was that. There is a lot at play in this book. The first big thing that I am trying to understand is this society. There seem to be a lot of players or me who aspire to be a part of it. There is darkness surrounding it. That leads me to Santiago. He is on a mission. Yet, why? I realize parts of it have come out as this book set up the foundation for the next books in the trilogy. It is because of this
