Anastasia

Product Information

We do stick with Anastasia throughout the story, when the story starts she is 11 and we are given her 1st person POV for the book and then eventually do have some chapters from the hero’s POV (we first see the hero when he’s 14). We might be big babies 😉 This was also the first time I tried 3 POVs, which allowed for a fun, twisted slant from the 3rd-wheel character. While they start as enemies with families on opposite sides of the struggle, there's no denying from the very beginning that Anastasia and Damian are meant to be.

It also doesn't help that for so much of the book they're literal children or teenagers and that seems to be a space that Lark doesn't have a lot of experience with? And, this is a really thick book, so I thought that it would definitely be able to touch upon the several areas of the story. Obviously there aren't going to be any explicit moments at that point in their life, but that seems to be the whole foundation of their relationship as adults. We watch her grow from a young and reckless child without magic to a powerful young woman with magic that can shake time. there were too many damn characters and too many scenes that felt superfluous or overly descriptive.To read more about the site or if you want a graphic to link to us, see the about page for more details. It should all be going according to plan, but things are about to get disrupted when he meets a beautiful woman with red hair there that would love to get a dance with him.

I always set out to enjoy a book and of course when it’s an author I genuinely enjoy and love other books from, like I was expecting to love this. All of that said, I am excited for the paranormal/vampire trilogy that will be coming in the future. It kind of snuck up on me, because there are so many characters and we don't get tons of one on one time with each one. The tragedy around which this whole retelling is based has happened and I was completely engrossed in the story.

Reader be warned: this is a dark and steamy serial killer romance that will take you on a journey through the twisted mind of an artist on the brink of madness. We do get time jumps with them aging as the story goes on but for most of the story Anastasia is like 16 (like the 20-65%-ish range that is her age). Luka likes to put his personality into his texts, not shying away from including his opinions and passions supported by facts and trusted sources.
