I’m Beatrice Kennedy, but everyone calls me Beat. I live a low-key life, fresh out of college and drifting from town to town until I find my home.

I love music, and how it stirs even the deepest and untouched parts of your soul. Depending on what you choose to listen to, would depend on what it touches. It’s the drug we all damper in, only different strains. My strain is Jazz. The smooth instrumental strums that take over me. The sound of cigar smoke, bourbon and an old dusty fedora hat. My strain wasn’t rap, and it sure wasn’t laced with some A-class shit like murky blue eyes casted down from the Lord and the Devil’s handcrafted smile. I knew who he was—the whole world did. One fateful night set off a chain of events, events that no one was coming back from. You can’t save people who don’t want to be saved. You can’t pull them up from the ocean when they’ve latched themselves to an anchor. Love was my anchor, destruction was the water that was drowning me, and the rope that was so tightly clamped around my ankles, was woven with the lyrics of Aeron Romanov-Reed, also known as, 'Manik. He steals hearts from all around the world, but one night, he stole something that wasn’t his to steal.

Me.

Conclusion

'Manik' was so good it gave me a huge book hangover. Chapter One got me hooked immediately and I just couldn't put it down anymore. 

The twists and turns were really unexpected.

Sometimes Manik could be extremly cruel I think. He's very intimidating and dominant. He's in the Brava (Russian mafia) which first of all was a big part of the book and also a change from only reading about the Italian mafia.

The chemistry between him and Beat blew my mind. They were great together but I wish that they had more 'couples scenes (?)'.

Amo Jones is one of the authors I just trust to release a great book.

If you are a fan of dark romance books and books that are able to push your boundaries to a whole another level then I would highly recommend 'Manik' to you.
