A deadly tale of love and survival...

FEATHERS AND BLOOD (Book 1)
I’ve been looking for a girl like her my whole life. Now that I’ve found her, I’m never letting go.

CARTER

I’m a twisted man with dark desires. Ever since my stepsister passed away, I’ve been obsessed with finding a girl who looks just like her. But none of them are good enough… until I lay eyes on Isabella.

The resemblance is uncanny. She looks just like my stepsister, who killed herself years ago, and I can’t stay away.

When I find out she has debts, I’m more than happy to take care of them… for a price that will ruin her and make me stronger than ever.

BELLA

Life has not been easy for me, and when my father gets sick, I have to come up with money to pay for his treatment. I’ve resigned myself to my fate, and I’ll do whatever it takes to take care of my family, even if it means selling my body to the vilest bidder…

But then I meet Carter. A handsome, strict, cruel mob boss who becomes inexplicably obsessed with me after just one glance.

His protection is something I can’t turn down.

Not even when I find out what it’s going to cost me…

BLOODSTAINED WINGS (Book 2)
To keep her safe, I will cage her.

CARTER
I made Isabella mine, and I will guard her life with mine. Unfortunately, my woman is having trouble dealing with my overprotective nature. Isabella is frustrated, but I don’t care.

My dark, possessive nature comes out as I cage her in our new home.

I’ll do anything to keep my enemies away. A lot of powerful people want my blood, and I can’t let them hurt Isabella.

I promised to keep her safe, and I have no choice but to kill for her.

BELLA
Carter is as infuriatingly handsome as he’s always been. He charms me into the perfect life, but I cannot be content being under lock and key.

Fearing for my life is one thing, but fearing Carter is another.

As the media fills up with articles about his crimes, I start to lose trust in the man I love.

The noose around my neck tightens and tightens as Carter’s controlling behavior leaves me breathless.

As afraid as I am, I cannot resist.

SHATTERED WINGS (Book 3)
She can't even look at me... because she knows what I turned her into.

CARTER

Seeing my woman wheeled into a hospital shattered me.

The fact that she's carrying our child means I must be in even more control.

Isabella resists me, hiding from me in the dark corners of her mind. But I’ll break down every one of her walls.

If it means breaking her walls one by one only to cage her in my prison right after... I'm ready.

BELLA

Meeting Carter changed me forever. Because of him, I'm a murderer—a blood stain that will forever tarnish my reputation and haunt me in my nightmares.

(Bk#1) I can still feel the blush running up my neck to my face the beginning of this series is panty melting hot and Carter is most definitely a domineering man Bella doesn't stand a chance of resisting him however she's a little firecracker herself. (BK2) There was no stopping once I started reading this story it held me hostage from beginning till the end and left me jonesing for more. Carter is something else with his punishments he doles out to Isabelle. Carter and Isabelle's story kept me on pins and needles all the way through and always waiting for the other shoe to drop and it does many times. (BK3) Ok this one swept me off my feet between the steamy side of darkness and the painful heartache to the bang bang of gun battles of one mafia crime organizations against the other. At no point did I find a place to stop reading this book and I ended up reading it to the wee hours. I not only found this series to be fascinating, but I recommend it to any one who's a mafia addict like me.

Ivy Black and Raven Scott kept the action, the danger, and the drama going at a frenetic pace throughout this series. Carter Blackthorne is a difficult character to have sympathy for: he’s chaotic, angry, and sadistic in every facet of his life. Isabella is an innocent young woman who catches Carter’s attention and she’s doesn’t have the experience to handle all of his demands in her new life or in his bed.

Each book is fraught with emotional, physical, and psychological trauma that seems never ending. Isabella becomes Carter’s ‘weak’ spot and a target to manipulate. She grows as their relationship develops, but without his family’s support and a friendship it would have been almost impossible to sustain. I loved how Carter eventually acknowledged that he loved Isabella enough to make some changes and that she matured enough to become his partner in life.

I enjoyed reading this dark romance set. This is the first three books in the series. This is by an author that I never hesitate to pick up. I enjoy the use of details that make the story realistic. This is a well written story about Bella and Carter. Their story is one that is full of romance and even some suspense. They are great characters that have an attraction like no other. I enjoyed watching their growth as well as their chemistry throughout the story. Their story is fast paced, engaging and hard to put down. This is one you do not want to miss. I really enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it.

This series is dark, intense and consuming. Please be sure to check the trigger warnings before you start reading. This is Carter and Isabella's story and it follows these two broken individuals journey beginning in Feathers And Blood ending with Shattered Wings. These two come together in a most unconventional way. Their journey is full of chaos, action, danger, drama and lots of twists and turns. Yet in the end it seems they've found their healing in their own way.

[Tiffany · Rating 2 out of 5]

Honestly the story itself was good but the spicy scenes leave something to be desired, they are spicy but this depicts a D/S relationship in a very unflattering light and borders on abuse. It’s very disheartening to read him say over and over that he’s in charge/has all the power this is simply not the case in that type of dynamic it’s an exchange based on trust and this doesn’t respect it at all nor to mention the lack of care when it comes to her being completely untouched by a man.

[TINA WILLIAMS · Rating 4 out of 5]

Isabella and Carter have a complicated history that develops into something life altering. You will be captivated as you follow their journey. This writing duo did a magnificent job with this series.

not my favorite

Honestly I never leave book reviews but this was probably one of the most annoying FMC’s i’ve ever read. Every single time she left the house they were getting ambushed of some sort. The author’s try to give the impression of a rich powerful MMC but he is anything but. Very predictable I always finish books but I almost couldn’t here.

[CJ · Rating 5 out of 5]

The authors have given us the entire trilogy with this collection. We are pulled into the lives of Isabella and Carter as the heart pounding story keeps us turning the pages with connection, secrets, danger and steam.

Carter and Bella did really make the perfect couple. Carter had so many demons to overcome and Bella was the only one who could help him.
