Seeds of Iniquity

Wow, I thought Redmerski's In the Company of Killers series couldn't get any better but I was wrong. She is a master at writing dark/romance/suspense novels and I can't believe I have to wait for the next book in these amazing series. Well, I am happy that there is another book, especially since this one left of with a bit of a cliffhanger at the end but I was never a patient person.

Let me just begin by saying that as much as I loved Fredrik's story in the pervious book, this one topped that for me. Partly because I missed Izabel's and Victor's story but also because it was nice to see so much interaction between all of the amazingly developed characters, especially in such an interesting and at the same time infuriating setting with another horrifying character introduced in this book, Nora. Oh, Nora. I hate her but I also love her because she added so much intrigue and depth to the other characters that she was very much needed in this book, at least in my opinion. Also, I loved how we got to follow each character as they developed and changed and were molded by the secrets they revealed, with their past laid out on the table for everyone else to see. I don't think any of them remained the same, they all progressed or regressed in some significant way.

The stakes were higher and this book was on a whole new level. I loved that each character was forced to reveal a part of their past that we didn't know anything about by confessing their secret to Nora. It made them even more three-dimensional and they literally jumped off the page at me. I could feel everything they were feeling, and their emotions were so complicated and intense and I just loved it, I couldn't get enough. This book swallowed me whole and didn't spit me back out until I was done.

Of course, the writing was flawless, as it always is with Redmerski's books and it was a very smooth read all the way through.

And as angry as I am by the abrupt cliffhangers (yes, more than one) at the end, I still think the book ended in a perfect place, I'm just not used to having to wait for the next book since most of the books I read this year have been out for a while already and the sequels too.

I am so glad that I'm going to end this year with a bang, since this is probably the last book I will read in 2014 and it was by far one of the best. I just hope my next year's books will be just as amazing as this year's have been. This year has opened me entirely to the wonderful world of books and now I am literally hooked. I have become much less picky about the books I read and for this reason I am willing to give almost all books a chance, since so many have pleasantly surprised me in the past.

Anyways, I recommend this book to anyone who loves amazing and complicated characters along with those who love books full of suspence and thrills that will keep you on the edge of your seat. This book of the series didn't have as much smut as the previous ones but that didn't make it any less amazing or sexy. I recommend this book to everyone!
