Release Day Blitz with Review ... Reap by Tillie Cole


REAP
Scarred Souls #2
by Tillie Cole



Raised as a prototype for the Georgian Bratva's obedience drug, 221 fails to think, act, or live for himself; he's his master's perfectly-crafted killing puppet. Standing at six-foot-six, weighing two-hundred-and-fifty pounds, and unrivaled in to-the-death combat, 221 successfully secures business for the Georgian Mafiya Boss of NYC, who rules the dark world of the criminal underground. Until his enemies capture him.

Talia Tolstaia dreams to break from the heavy clutches of Bratva life. She dreams of another life--away from the stifling leash of her Russian Bratva Boss father and from the brutality of her work at The Dungeon, her criminal family's underground death-match enterprise. But when she stumbles upon her family's captive who is more monster than man, she starts to see the man underneath. A powerful, beautiful, damaged man whose heart calls to hers. But sacrifices must be made--blood for blood...life for life...souls for scarred souls...

5 BEAUTIFULLY SCARRED STARS

**I received an ARC for an honest review.**

This book...is for me.

I LOVE this book. 

I LOVE Tillie's ability to write such beautifully dark stories that draw me in and make me fall in love with these tortured and scarred souls. I also LOVE Tille's ability to write such characters so well that you can't help but feel like you are connected to them. 

I LOVE the characters of this series.

I LOVE the multiple POV's in this book and the fact the Luka and Kisa's story was still front and present as well. Tillie did an amazing job of keeping me in both stories at the same time and connected with both couples as well. I really liked getting more inside Luka's head to see how he is adjusting after Raze...or maybe I should say adjusting with who he is. 

The action in this book is just as good as it was in RAZE and kept me waiting to see how things would play out. The violence of the past is what really got me and made me bloodthirsty for all the characters. The history between the families worried me for a bit, but I love the Tolstoi and Volkov's ability to move forward and see the plus side of things. 

Talia's character I knew from book one was a little bit on the wild side. I knew she wasn't as straight laced and obedient as Kisa, so I was waiting to see what things she would get into. But I was very pleasantly surprised in who she turned out to be. I loved her personality and her ability to forget the past and move forward, no matter what her family history dictated. I loved her compassion and how much her heart opened up when she realized that 221, the Kostava, was like her brother. He had been through the same things as her brother and who he was before was long gone. Their story is so tragically beautiful. 

221.

Zaal.

The Kostava heir.

I LOVED Zaal. I love the way his inner thoughts always seemed to make me feel such compassion for him. I loved the way his thought process went when he was trying to make sense of things. I loved the way he felt drawn to Talia once he was fully detoxed. I also loved that no matter how much anxiety probably raced through his body, he always tried new things because he trusted Talia. I really did love that bond that they shared. It was strong. 

This storyline really made things set off for the Volkov Bratva and I look forward to see where they head in the future. Also, that little sneak peek at the end confirmed some of my suspicions and I can not wait for more of the Scarred Souls series.

REAP is a MUST read. RAZE is a MUST read before REAP. Scarred Souls is a MUST read series by Tillie Cole.

TO TAKE BACK LIFE, ONE MUST FIRST FACE DEATH...

Conditioned in captivity to maim, to kill and to slaughter, prisoner 818 becomes an unrivaled and unstoppable fighter in the ring. Violence is all he knows. After years of incarceration in an underground hell, only one thought occupies his mind: revenge... bloody, slow and violent revenge. Revenge on the man who wronged him. 
Kisa Volkova is the only daughter of Kirill 'The Silencer' Volkov, head of the infamous 'Red' bosses of New York's Russian Bratva. Her life is protected. In reality, it's a virtual prison. Her father's savage treatment of his rivals and his lucrative and coveted underground gambling ring-The Dungeon-ensures too many enemies lurk at their door. She dreams to be set free. Kisa has known only cruelty and loss in her short life. While working for her church-the only reprieve in her constant surveillance-Kisa stumbles across a tattooed, scarred, but stunningly beautiful homeless man on the streets. Something about him stirs feelings deep within her; familiar yet impossibly forbidden desires. He doesn't talk. Doesn't communicate with anyone.

He's a man beyond saving. But Kisa becomes obsessed with him. Yearns for him. Craves his touch. Needs to possess this mysterious man... ... this man they call Raze.
