Prince of Killers by Layla Reyne
Prince of Killers (Fog City, #1) (ARC) was graciously provided to me by A Novel Take PR for an honest review. I have voluntarily read this book and have provided my honest opinion.
“A Suspenseful, Mysterious, and, Addicting Read..”
An absolutely gripping, intriguing, mysterious, addicting, mind-blowing, deeply heart-breaking, suspenseful, and sizzling read already has me wanting and needing more from a much-anticipated series, as the components of this new release were powerful and equally mind-bending in its quest for answers, justice and a general sense of peace..
WOAHHH…what a story! It had everything that a highly-addicting and highly-emotional read would contain. Intrigue, mystery, heat, realistic characters and settings, and a developing storyline, all of which had this reader soaking up all of these well-written entities quicker than the swish of a kindle page. As a returning reader for this author, having read Noble Hops and loved it, standards were already set high for future excellent reads from this author, and, when I began this new read, I was already looking forward to a similar type-of-story. Did I? You bet your kindles I did.. Hold on to your reading glasses readers, a new series from Layla Reyne is here that will no doubt have many readers insatiable and needing more before the end of the last head-scratching page..
Prince of Killers, by Layla Reyne, is a heavy and multi-layered story about a heart-warming quest, disguised by harsh events, lead by a multi-generational family who are like an enigma. For seemingly unknown reasons, this mysterious group of dedicated, family-centered, well-meaning, beautiful individuals, each having a different purpose within the family dynasty, find it their purpose to maintain this particular and purposeful guise. With numerous action-packed nail-biting moments, moments of indescribable necessity, many times of deceit, it is a wonder how family members, who have been battling their own demons as they fight to maintain their family legacy, have been able to maintain such an aura of strength throughout the actual traumatic event.. I found myself gasping, yelling, cheering, high-fiving, bawling, and, buzzing, for much of the story, and, for this, found it to be a thrilling and indescribable read to say the least…
Man-oh-man…Fog City is quickly proving to be quite the series to read. Its initial storyline is a great one, but, contains a plot that, speaking for this reader, could not be fully grasped. Despite this variation, the characters were well-written, each of them with their own hidden and extremely realistic baggage, many of which set the stage for many twists and turns. He-llo twists! As a result, I may have, at times, felt this unbelievably strong urge to throw my kindle right into the wall out of sheer frustration with a mouth-agape kind-of-shock. *wipes brow*
Prince of Killers, by Layla Reyne, was a great read as I maintained an open-mind with the direction of the storyline, while remaining cautious with its overall direction. That being said, however, there were many difficult-to-read moments, perhaps too many and too much, and for this, I was beyond desperate for the ultimate reasoning of such actions, that despite some confusing moments to the plot, these particular reasons of such actions, in this readers opinion, barely made it to fruition. This inability to grasp reasoning, in addition to the almost see-sawing and almost unclear thoughts and emotions of one of the main characters, in conjunction to the depth of the plot, the clarity and smoothness of it all was a bit fuzzy.
Prince of Killers was quite the story. I had been spoiled before with the reading of Noble Hops, and, this new read proved to be no different, despite being the first compared to the last of a series. Despite there being some difficult and confusing parts, and a need for more clarity, in the end, this is a recommended story with a warning of possible triggers for future readers. Will I read the rest of the series? Yes. Will I read it with blinders on while preparing to perhaps shout and allow a plethora of emotions to come to the surface? You betcha, because as a whole, I felt this was a great and entertaining read..:)
