My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars
Ruthless
Creatures is book one in the Queens and Monsters series by J.T. Geissinger. The
story follows the characters Natalie and Kage. Natalie lost her fiancé five
years ago on the eve of her wedding. Not knowing what happened to him has left
her with answered questions and a black cloud which seems to follow her through
her life. On the day of her anniversary when she is out with a friend she comes
across the dark and mysterious Kage who she also finds out is her new
neighbour. He is neither friendly or open and he has an air of violence about
him that although Natalie is scared of, she is also intrigued by.
Kage is
intense and not at all honest with the reason he has Natalie on his radar. He
just knows that he is attracted to her and by having that attraction, he has
put her in immediate danger! There are times where he is quite short with Natalie
as he flits in and out of her life and we as the reader follow along this slow
burn story until both characters combust.
There is
a lot going on in this book; suspense, sexy times, vulnerability by both characters
as they both come to terms about what their relationship will mean for them. Natalie’s
best friend Sloane is hilarious and really adds to the dynamic of the book! There
are some dark elements in the book as Natalie searches for the truth not only
about her disappearing fiancé but also Kage whose secrets pull her into a
dangerous spiral.
Overall, a good start to a new series and a new author for me.
