Adam Lang lives in a grand mansion and
has every decadent want or desire met without question. His
family has controlled the city and all the inhabitants for
several generations.
Nicholas Ross, or Nico, and his family
control the city’s underbelly and hate the Lang family with
a passion. Nico, his family members, lover Blake, and a few
others are werewolves, either from a curse or made by a
Ross.
Years before Adam or Nicholas were
born, Adam’s grandfather Stanton made a pact with a demon
and cursed Nicholas’ grandfather Anton Ross and his future
descendants because of jealousy and love. Nicholas will do
whatever it takes to be a human man as he hates being a
werewolf. He needs Adam to break the curse and Adam has no
intention of getting close to a Ross. An additional problem
for Nico is that the other werewolves are happy with their
strength and immortality. They will stop at nothing to keep
the two men apart or barring that – to commit murder, even
of their own leader.
Nicholas is very much a mystery suspense tale
with a strong unrequited love story skillfully woven
together. Nicholas is a very strong alpha character pitted
against a weak yet arrogant Adam whose decisions blow hot or
cold depending on the situation he finds himself in. I did
have some trouble getting the beginning clear because the
story starts off running and never slows down, but I enjoyed
the ride to the finish. The end leaves you with unanswered
questions, but I can’t wait to read what happens next. |
