Deadly Ally (The Hitman and The Heir #2)


Here's Elamy Pride's "Deadly Ally" is fucking amazing. It's the second and final in their series, The Hitman and The Heir.

["When convenience meets reality, can love prevail?

Gabriel has spilled the truth, revealing to Dante the shocking betrayal of his trusted uncle. Yet, lurking beneath his noble revelation, is Gabriel's ultimate desire - to avenge the death of his father. The uncle just a decoy for his deadly plot. But will it be enough?

Dante, on the other hand, is filled with unstoppable fury. The uncle, a once cherished family member, has cruelly marked him for death and now vengeance is all he seeks. They both have hidden agendas. They both want revenge. Will they remain enemies or become deadly allies?"]

These two need shaken again. They had just (sort of) found some equal footing (equal-enough) and started letting down their walls (well, some of their walls) and talked (they did talk--sharing secrets started this downfall) when shit hit the fan. They stopped meshing, stopped trusting. The hurt came back ten-fold in their hurt-comfort dynamic. The secrets piled up again. The talking slowed. The sex didn't stop; they're still great at that, their chemistry is still fantastic as fuck, but everything else seemed to fall off the rails. 

And they just kept falling off the rails. It built and built until it exploded in more confessions (good and bad) and more decisions fueled by emotion and revenge.

Love confessions almost happened but guns did instead. Spoiler alert? 

I can’t wait for the next one. This cliff hanger was worse. At least the first novel energy HFN. This one ended with me crying. Definitely a spoiler alert. 

Trigger Warnings: non-con moments, violence, murder, use of a weapon to cause harm, car accident resulting in serious injuries, kidnapping, ends in a cliffhanger, and more.
