Emilia They say love and hate are the same feelings experienced under different circumstances, and it’s true. The man who comes to me in my dreams also haunts me in my nightmares. He is a brilliant lawyer. A skilled criminal. A beautiful liar. A bully and a savior, a monster and a lover. Ten years ago, he made me run away from the small town where we lived. Now, he came for me in New York, and he isn’t leaving until he takes me with him. Vicious She is a starving artist. Pretty and evasive like cherry blossom. Ten years ago, she barged into my life unannounced and turned everything upside down. She paid the price. Emilia LeBlanc is completely off-limits, my best friend’s ex-girlfriend. The woman who knows my darkest secret, and the daughter of the cheap Help we hired to take care of our estate. That should deter me from chasing her, but it doesn’t. So she hates me. Big fucking deal. She better get used to me. Once again L.J. Shen has managed to exceed my expectations with Vicious. Vicious is probably my favorite book written by her. She won me over by the simple fact that I love to read about A**holes. I loved that L.J. Shen took us back and forth from the past to the present and covered all the loopholes to understand why Vicious was how he was. I don’t condone his actions, but it gave me a better understanding of why he was that way. What can I say about Vicious, other than you will either love or hate him. For me it was a little bit of both. I loved that despite him being an A**hole that he somehow also had a softer side to him. We meet Emilia who is the servants daughter and who Vicious doesn’t like from the beginning. I loved that despite the life that Emilia had that she still had a strong character. She was such a good person who always thought about others before herself. Overall, Vicious had everything I love in a book. This is a perfect enemies to lovers book, which is filled with lots of angst and will keep you anxiously wanting to know what will happen next. I look forward to reading more from L.J. Shen. |
