Excerpt
He swallowed hard, and his voice was still full of pain. “I just can’t. I shouldn’t even touch you.”
“You drink,” she pointed out. “You’re not addicted to that.”
“Alcohol is not my drug of choice. It’s the exact opposite of it.”
“I’m not cocaine,” she reminded him.
“That’s what you think?” He glanced at her over his shoulder, his dark gaze running over her for one long, hot moment until it stopped to rest on the pink lace of her bra.
“To me you’re coke. Fine. Smooth. Perfectly white. Very bad for me, but so fucking sexy I don’t give a shit. It’s worth going down for.”

”I’m not an angel, and you’re not a devil.”
A gangster and a minister's daughter. Of course! the irony isn't lost upon me.
I first met Chuito in Viper, he was such a conundrum, the missing piece to the entire puzzle. Finally, I got my hands on The Slayer and I was blown away by the intensity and sheer ferociousness of Chuito's character. He is a dynamic lead character. I can simply say his story is the perfect meaning of Hamartia (yes yes, I learnt a new word from a recently read book). Pure unadulterated SIN. Kele Moon's alpha male's are to die for. She knocks them down and builds them up, stronger, fiercer and sexier than your own imagination.
In The Slayer, we're taken to where it all started. How Chuito became a gang leader, the reason for him leaving but never letting go, his rise to fame, his emotional pain through guilt and regret, and all his connections and loyalty to his family.
Moving away from his former life and starting over, he meets his neighbour Alaine. They both use their apartments as a form of escapism for differing reasons. A mix of light and dark, Chuito and Alaine show that, opposites do attract.
Alaine and Chuito have a strange bond. They've become friends of sorts and sometimes find themselves dancing the night away, or simply spending time with each other in comfort. Their relationship built in the pitch dark of the night and from there onwards, they have been battling their attraction. Mostly, Chuito, because Alaine is all in, despite the dangerous man in front of her. See what bad dreams can do for people. Being just neighbours isn't enough for Alaine though, and Chuito, doesn't want her to want him. He isn't good enough for Alaine. He knows exactly who he is, and what he was and still can be. He craves the danger, the excitement of the "kill."
He was a devil.
In the midst of their love story, a shitstorm is brewing within his old gang. It soon takes a turn for the worst, with Chuito forming new alliances in order to protect his cousin, and his old gang. Alaine follows him, wanting to stop him from leaving her and from the lurking danger that she recently learns about.
Alaine, even though the meek, preacher's daughter, this girl had a head on her shoulders and a determination that rivaled Chuito's and she was a persistent little redhead. She never gave up on him. At every turn Chuito has blocked her, but she persevered. Their love story isn't quick and brash. It's slow burning. A tumultuous barrage of feelings that even though known, is still bottled. Waiting to be released. An explosion waiting to happen.
"I am not going to be your love story. I am your friend. I'll be your friend until I die, but I am not going to give you a happily ever after."
This instalment was raw and gritty, pure darkness on the inner dealings with gang life and demons faced through the life. It was an intense read with details that opened my eye and brought silly smiles to my face. By far the best instalment to date. Can't wait to see what Kele Moon has install for Tino.
