Release Day Blitz & Review Cruel Beginnings{Cruel World #1}byLili St. Germain and Lyra Parish

I’m not a girl who expects to be saved

I gave up on fairytales a long time ago.

So when my knight in shining Armani stalks into town and delivers me from my tragic fate, I’m grateful.

Darius Prince shouldn’t be in the seedy strip club where I’m paying off my mother’s debts, one piece of my soul at a time. And he definitely shouldn’t be the one who claims me in exchange for a suitcase full of trust fund cash and a deal inked in blood.

His dark eyes shine with a hatred so deadly, I wonder why he wants me at all.

Especially when I find out he thinks I’m somehow connected to his twin sister’s disappearance.

Darius doesn’t rescue me.

Instead, he drags me into his web of tragic secrets and forbidden desires.

He binds &! me so tight, I can’t find my way out of his grasp.

Not that it would make a difference.

Escaping my fate isn’t an option.

They say every ending is a new beginning.

I just didn’t expect my beginning to be so cruel

Review

This book is not for the faint of heart. Please review the trigger warnings for this book before diving in. This is dark romance at its finest.

I went into this book blind. Being that I haven’t read either author in a long time I was really excited to see what they had put together.

I devoured this book. I could not wait to get back to it when life interrupted. I needed to know what part of the roller coaster ride was coming next…..a gradually rise or a steep drop.

Birdie was dealt a hard life. Poverty, despair and loss. Even with how little she had she held to the dream of something more.

Darius is entitled, rich and pretty much as arrogant as they come. Where he comes from there are rules. Rules that cannot be broken without consequence.

Secrets, betrayal, loss, desperation, humiliation and the beginning of feelings….real feelings. Something that Darius may not be ready to admit until he can’t hide it anymore.

Darius and Birdie appear to be worlds apart but appearances can be deceiving. This story has just begun to unfold. The layers of secrets and deception being slowly peeled back to reveal what others have tried hard to hide.

I cannot wait to see what twists and turns await us in Book 2, Cruel Boys.
