My heart is a black hole of emptiness! Fuck you a thousand times over, Mister Kristoff! You're brutal and insane, but I absolutely love it and hate it at the same time! NEVERNIGHT was one hell of a read I can tell you that! And I have never read a book that has destroyed me like this one has. I am just sitting here staring at this book because I still can't wrap my mind around what this fucking bastard did. I'll say it again, Fuck you, Mister Kristoff!

But let's get into why this book is so damn My heart is a black hole of emptiness! Fuck you a thousand times over, Mister Kristoff! You're brutal and insane, but I absolutely love it and hate it at the same time! NEVERNIGHT was one hell of a read I can tell you that! And I have never read a book that has destroyed me like this one has. I am just sitting here staring at this book because I still can't wrap my mind around what this fucking bastard did. I'll say it again, Fuck you, Mister Kristoff!

But let's get into why this book is so damn amazing! NEVERNIGHT is basically Hogwarts for assassins where they teach you the art of killing. There are four classes including fighting, thieving, poisoning & seducing. Where the instructors hack off your limbs and poison you on occasion. And it's your job to make it to initiation alive. But only 4 can make it to initiation so everyone is basically your competition. It's brutal and bloody and sexy!

And the story follows our heroine, Mia Corvere who has been training for years in order to join the Red Church, become one of their Blades (aka the Red Church's Assassins) and take her revenge on all those who killed her family. Also, Mia has an affinity for shadows and is accompanied by the shadow cat, Mr. Kindly who devours her fears and she yearns to find out what she is and what these powers of hers mean.

In one way or another I found myself loving the cast of characters we are introduced to in NEVERNIGHT. The instructors each had a unique personality for them, but most of them were just insane. I adored the friendships that were formed, if you can call them that. There is a small dose of romance. TRIC! He was such a sweetheart. And in a way, I thought he was way too sweet to thrown into this world! And HOT DAMN! Can Mister Kristoff write a sex scene! I think I need more sex scenes from him ASAP!

What destroyed me? I'm not out right spoiling it because it is so much better to experience it! But all I will say is there were different plot twist that I didn't see coming from a mile away! This bastard....Ugh! I can't say it! I just can't believe what he did and I am still healing. My heart and mind need to heal from the aftermath, okay! I was going to jump right into the sequel, Godsgrave, after this, but no! I can't do it! We'll see how I'm doing in a couple of days.

This was an amazing book. I cannot wait to read the sequel.

Mia is the daughter of a hanged traitor. Her mother and brother are in jail. They try to kill her but something strange happens and she gets away. She has gifts that no one can image. She travels to join the Church of Blades and become the killer she has to avenge her family. Along the way she has to make many hard decisions.

I wasn't sure I was going to like this book but even though Mia is a killer you will still root for her. ...more
