The secondary characters were either boring or forgettable, I just finished the book 2 hours ago and I already can't tell you their names. And the second half although a million times better is not without its problems. There was so much to him, to his past, to his profession, to his personality and family. She is not a bad character at all, she just lucked substance in comparison to Kal. the daughter of one powerful head of the mafia? She smells like pomegranate, has a pomegranate tattoo. A lot of time and effort was put on writing him well.Įlena was. He is a doctor and a hitting man for the mafia, an intriguing character for sure. He may have ended up in the life he has by circumstance and not choice but he certainly enjoys the killing and the blood. It had a good pace, a good story, fantastic chemistry. why oh why does every darn book has to end with pregnant women and/or babies and kids? I could have happily skipped that chapter!Īpart from that, the second half of the book was really good. If you’re not a reader of the genre, this book may not be suitable for you. It features mature themes, explicit scenes, triggers, and strong language.

Shattered her virtue and devoured her soul like a succulent pomegranate.Įmbedded my evil as deep as I could possibly get and tried to set her free. Goddess of springtime, lover of poetry, angel of my nightmares. Imprinted his crimson fingerprints on my psyche and tried to set me free. Usurped my fiancé and filled the cracks in my heart with empty promises. Harbinger of death, keeper of souls, frequenter of nightmares. But I will confess from the start that Promises and Pomegranates did not blow me away. The reviews are good, the people recommending it were people whose recommendations I have liked in the past.
