Review: Eulogy by Rachel Van Dyken
SYNOPSIS:
All is lost.
All.
I don’t recognize myself in the mirror anymore.
My thoughts are filled with hatred and dripping with rage.
I’ve lost my soul.
She took it to the depths of Hell with her and haunts me with images of what could have been.
Sixty lives are mine to take.
Sixty lives stand in the way of my vengeance.
Sixty lives plus one more.
Mine.
When the last drop of blood falls — mine will be spilled.
Only one person stands in the way.
She doesn’t realize I’ll kill her too.
I don’t own a heart.
And even if I did — I wouldn’t fall prey to its lies again.
I am Chase Abandonato.
Heir to a legacy of betrayal.
And I will kill them all.
Even if it means pointing the gun at myself.
A life for a life.
A soul for a soul.
Now I lay me down to sleep… I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
Blood in. No out.
REVIEW:
*Book Received in Exchange for Honest Opinion/Review*
Today sounds like a good day to be emotionally gutted by the mafia. Seriously, I cannot profess my love for this series anymore other than saying that Eulogy was f*ckin fantastic! Oh be still my battered heart, Rachel Van Dyken put me through the ringer with plot twists, betrayal, and deception artfully balanced in with banter, and amazingly giggle-worthy text messages. These books are like a drug, I can’t quit them…or Rachel’s writing.
Now every time I go into an Eagle Elite book, I mentally prepare myself and say a little prayer that the characters I love don’t die, after all this is the mafia and Rachel has betrayed me one to many times for me to sit here with false hopes of a happily ever after. Chase, well lets just say at the end of Enrage, I was heart broken, and at the end of Eulogy I am filled with hope. And anger, lets not forget the rage that is consuming me, I would throat punch Mil if given the chance…*grrrrr*
Moving on, the drama is thick as always, I was honestly worried there that Chase was going to die, d*mn fool. The text message chains between Chase, Nixon, Phoenix, Sergio, Tex, and Dante were giving me life, I could honestly read an entire book of them just sassing and threatening to pull a gun on each other. At 80% I was honestly wondering how the h*ll Rachel was going to wrap this up because things were in chaos. Then at 86% my jaw hit the floor, and I actually shouted ‘what the f*ck’, thank goodness no one was in the office yet. Hello plot twist, nice to meet you….I still can’t even.
Luciana is everything that Mil wasn’t and honestly that was what Chase needed. He needed someone so radically different, he needed the tenderness to fix all the harsh edges that Mil left behind. I was captivated, hooked and couldn’t put the book down. This book series is like wine, it gets better with time, or in this case with each book.
