Nocturnal Book Reviews

It's been a week since I finished reading The Prince and still I'm reeling. Mostly this is the story of Soren and Kingsley, it's who I was reading this book for. It's who I felt for. Even through Nora talking about Soren with Wes.

To be completely honest, I don't like Wes. *gasp* He doesn't understand Nora and he doesn't belong to her world. His relationship with her is like a parody on Christian Grey and Ana, but with a much more realistic ending. Unless he discovers his inner goddess I can't see how he would fit in. At the moment he is a lost puppy Nora indulges and pampers, cute, adorable... He might be something that Nora wants but not needs. And I think she understands it perfectly well.

He on the other hand naively believes that his virginal love with heal her of her kink. *snort* Yes, just like Ana. The same belief that the right woman will heal someone from a homosexualism, as if it is some kind of disease.

So, if the passages describing Nora playing Mrs. Robinson with Wes were amusing, Kingsley and Soren together were spellbinding. Tiffany did warn me, that The Prince is darker that the other two books, and it is. It's very harsh but at the same time it's gripping and realistic, there is nothing gratuitous about the sadistic nature of Soren or Kingsley's love for him when these two were teenagers. They seemed to need each other like air. However twisted their love might have looked like there was certain harmony to it.

Tiffany Reisz keeps us on even finer, sharper edge of erotic thriller with this story. Be prepared for the ending that leaves you just as gobsmacked as it left me. I wanted to scream and kick something in frustration, I needed the next book! It was an exhilarating, dangerous, glorious ride, an exploration of human need for pain and pleasure, that left me aching for more. Highly recommended.
