Week 5 Review: Born of Silence

From Goodreads:
Death Stalks Them All... 

Kere is the second most infamous member of the shadow organization known as Sentella. An explosive engineer who strikes terror into the hearts of the League, the bounty on his head is truly staggering. No one knows his true identity. 

The daughter of a traitor, Zarya Starska grew up hard on the back streets of hell- her family hunted to the brink of extinction. But Zarya dreams of a different life and a different world. A world where the harsh hand of the Caronese emperor doesn't destroy his subjects. As a Resistance leader, her goal is to topple the government that needlessly ruined the lives of her family and comrades-in-arms. In this deadly quest, the only person she can trust is a mysterious man known only as Kere. 

By The Light Of Day... 

Kere has a dark secret and a brutal past. As he aids the Resistance, he's actually working to bring down his own family- the Cruels- so named for the viciousness in their blood that runs so deep, no other name would do. Born and bred from one of the oldest and noblest families in the United Systems, Kere's real name is Darling Cruel. And the one thing he wants most is to see his uncle, who stole the crown by murdering his father, pay for his crimes. 

If You Tell A Lie Long Enough, It Becomes The Truth... 

In order to protect his mother from execution, Darling's entire life has been built on a lie that he dare not breathe a contrary word about. His hands tied by his uncle's cruelty. No one has ever seen the real him. No one except Zarya. She's the only person he's ever fully trusted with the truth. But when she betrays him by allowing a weapon he designed solely for her to be used against him, all bets are off. 

The Hero Is Now The Monster... 

Betrayed to the deepest level, Darling becomes an enemy even worse than his uncle. His goal is not only to reign, but to kill every Resistance member he can find. He won't rest until all of them are dead and that includes Zarya. 

The Twisted Hand Of Fate... 

Zarya is the only hope to reach the heart of the man her people once considered their ally. A man who hates her with a fury so great that she knows it's just a matter of time before he kills her. But if she can find the part of him that once trusted her, the part of him that once loved her, she might be able to save not only her own life, but those of her people. 

It's an impossible mission. 

Too bad she doesn't play the odds.

My first review of Born of Silence
My Review:
I enjoyed rereading this book so much! It's a Sherrilyn Kenyon book, so of course I'm going to enjoy it a lot, and that I enjoyed it the first time is a bonus! It was just so fantastic again, and being with these characters, going on Zarya and Darling's journey, it was just so good!

So I pretty much remembered what happened, from the sweet beginning, to Darling's necklace thing being stolen and used on his sister, his torture, saving, and his relationship with Zarya, and when he rescues her. And that she was alive after the video that showed her dying under torture. Because they brought her back!

There were moments of utter horror, like when Zarya was told of what had happened to him while she was just a few doors down, despairing about Kere, but putting on a happy face. And moments of utter hilarity, like when Zarya screamed, and the guys were all, she's being tortured, but nope, Darling's in bed with her. So funny! Or when at the end, at their big official wedding, when she pregnancy hurls on his shoes! So cute!

This story has really hard parts to read. Darling was tortured so bad, that he wasn't sane for a while there. It took more then Maris, but Zarya, to bring him down, and yeah, reading them go on that journey again, it was just utterly enthralling!

I love this book so much, it's so good, and I can't wait for more books in this series!
