I Will Mend You
My worst nightmare finally stepped out of the mirror.
And the only man who can save me is a ghost.
Prey
I'm trapped in a forgotten nightmare with the monster I most fear.
The key to my freedom lies behind a wall of memories.

But as my tormentors draw close, I must rely on the phantom I betrayed for protection—and for revenge.
Predator
She’s ensnared by darkness, and only I can set her free.
To save her, I must become the vengeful spirit she fears.
Amethyst’s mind is a maze of terror and confusion.
Freeing her will mean confronting the darkest parts of my past.
Vengeance will be mine, but first, I must earn redemption.
Because if fail to save my little ghost, I will reduce the world to ashes.
I Will Mend You is the second installment to the series with unreliable narrators and disturbing themes. Please check the two pages of trigger warnings.

“I’m safe. I’m sane. I’m strong”
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
“Little Ghost”
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
When the villain is actually the HERO ! XERO IS EVERYTHING!!!!!
My jaw is on the floor with the plot and amount of details this story has. Some people like the first book of the duet better but I actually like this one more.
This book picks up right at the cliffhanger from the first book. The INSANITY in this story is something else.
We now know the whole “situation “ with Xero and the ghosts, plus Amy mental state. We also have a very good grasp of the direction of the plot. But still was impressive.
My heart felt for Amy and all she goes through, and the more you learn of her story, the more your heart breaks. The deception, manipulation, lies, the things used to control her and/or to make her feel and act like a crazy person. Everything was just insane.
Xero captured my heart. He is so ruthless and vindictive but his heart is in the right place, the fact that he made his life mission to destroy his father and his evil “business” and “business associates”. His mission was to destroy the moirai organization that kidnaps and trains children to become assassins, he wants to destroy his father organ trafficking, sex trafficking and snuff movies where they actually grape and kill the girls. On top of that he wants to save Amy and “mend” her heart and soul. Did he achieve all of that? YES HE DID IT. But it wasn’t easy and Amy was crucial to that, since after everything she went through all she wants is revenge.I also loved how the author doesn’t just brushes over Amy’s trauma and have the couple having sex almost immediately after all she went through, I hate when authors do that because it seems very unrealistic. In here they literally only get intimate after everything on chapter 73 ! It’s perfect! I understand that a lot people don’t like this duet, because it is VERY DARK and the topics are insane. They are not for everyone but they are definitely for me. Also I liked the little crossover mention between them and the Montesano family from the morally black series that I also actually love and the ending of Breaking Rosalind being a part of this one too. i am a fan of Gigi Styx work !

this book is my favourite dark romance i have ever read! There is no waaay i will love anything more than this duet!!
This book starts immediately after the first, with Amethyst meeting her twin and Xero surviving the fire!
The first half was sooo hard to go through! I cried a lot and was on edge until Amy and Xero finally reunited, but still, that wasn't the end of the nightmares! It really was so hard to read through it all! I kept reminding myself that they will kill them all!
Xero's love and gentleness towards Amy was so heartbreaking, especially because of what she went through! And the way she finally believed that he is alive? Oh man i was sobbing!!
The fascinating thing about this book is that everyone is morally grey, except for Delta, everyone else is a victim!!
Amy's mother's diary was an interesting read! The way the twins were manipulated against each other was horrendous!!
The revenge scenes were the best scenes in this book, the way Amethyst took control and tortured her abusers healed my black soul!
I also loved that Xero didn't try to heal Amy with sex, but with tenderness and love! I'm in love with him. I thought Leroi from Taming Seraphine is my favourite MMC, but now I'm not sure!!
This book was sad and dark and extremely triggering, and also very heartwarming with the love declarations that Xero kept spewing 😍😍

I'm in the minority on this. Most people think it's the best thing - I thought it fucking sucked.
Amethyst and her crazy hallucinating ass and Xero Greaves are STILL doing this whole fight thing of I don't trust you but I want to fuck you. She's kidnapped and he has to try and rescue her. There's a shit ton of rapes going on - why the hell does everyone want to rape this girl??? Good grief let's move on!!! She spends 99% of the book volleying between "Xero wants to kill me" or "Xero is dead and I'm seeing his ghost". Nobody is who they say they are. Dead people come back to life. Secret identities. Twins. A whole bunch of other stupid ass shit.
You know in the soap opera Days of Our Lives - how Marlena was possessed by the devil, Stefano came back to life 15 thousand times, Kristen had an evil twin nobody knew about, nearly every single person in the cast had been killed and brought back to life MULTIPLE times - that's what this is - except it's not as entertaining.

I really did like book one better I don’t have much to say about this one. Although, Amy seriously pissed me off leaving Xero for dead like that, without even bothering to ask any questions. I do understand it slightly though bc obviously she was unaware of the fact that she had a twin. I do wish he would have been a little more upset, because he didn’t die out of pure luck.
I hated the entire part when she was in captivity because I don’t tend to enjoy absolute misery in my books and that lasted too long for my liking. She was beyond lucky, she didn’t actually kill Xero or that entire situation could have been very different.
The author did a good job in my opinion with the entire sexual assault sideline. I liked how Amy was not immediately jumping right back into having sex, because that seriously bothers me in books when they do that.
I’m surprised after this whole dark ass duet that they even ended up getting a happy ending, but they did deserve it after lifetimes of trauma!!

This book gave me a headache. It genuinely got on my nerves.
Reading it felt emotionally empty. There was no real connection between the characters, no tension, no love, and no conflict. I didn’t feel anything while reading it. Not excitement, not anger, not even dislike. Just words on a page.
It’s long, and unfortunately not in a good way. The pacing drags, and instead of pulling me in, it made the experience frustrating.
Nothing about this book entertained me, and finishing it felt more like endurance than enjoyment.

Okay, im say this.. please, please, read the trigger warnings book 2 is way darker than book 1. For your health please.
We pick up right where book 1 leaves off poor. Amethyst is confused at wtf is going on, and she is taken. And I'll be honest, her being taken was one of the hardest reads I had to read. My heart broke at all the torture she was put through. She was slowly losing her mind and body. The only thing keeping her safe was ghost Xero. Until the real one came fighting tooth and nail to find his girl. It took him a while since he was also recovering from the injury Amethyst caused him, lol.
The aftermath was good my girl fought and did rescue herself then reunited with Xero. They didn't rush anything Xero was there for her making sure she knew he would never leave her again and they would get revenge against her twin sister and his father for all they done to both of them. They came a long way from the hate in book 1. I shed a lot of tears in this one. And I gotta tell you that revenge was well desevered!!!
I'm glad with what happened. The spice was still there, but it took a while due to what happened to Amethyst.
Saftey-Amethyst was raped by someone and other things.

What a stunning ending to the duet, this book was so twisted and twisty! I loved how everything played out, there were lots of moments where my heart was breaking for Amethyst-she was put through the wringer a lot! But I did love how much she grew and overcame all the horrible things that had happened to her, she was so strong by the end, and I loved how much Xero cherished her, both actually and in his own twisted way!
Amazing read.
Amazing read.

A balm after the storm.
Tender, fierce and painfully honest. This one heals the wounds of book one while keeping the heat.
Watching the characters try to rebuild trust felt too real.
The payoff is emotional, satisfying and quietly devastating. ❤️🩹✨

4.5 🌟 okay sooo i have so much to say and it prob won’t even make sense but anyway 😭
first book? wasn’t really my cup of tea but this one on the other hand…YEAH! loved it!
Amethyst is js my girl fr everything she went through in this book with well— anyway i loved seeing how she became this baddass that wasn’t scared anymore of those that hurt her physically mentally emotionally and god knows what else. she’s amazing and she is the moment.
Xero. this man is smt else like the switch from his crazy black soul like personality to someone that like actually deeply cares aht amethyst and js loves her so deeply was so random but i loves everything second of seeing how much he cares abt finding amethyst and helping her recover!!
i’m js very happy for amy and xero although some scenes were questionable to say the least 😭😭
SPOILERS 🚨‼️🚨‼️
okay first of all..dolly that girl is js crazy. i hated her sooo much and lowkey still do but tbh i can still kind of sympathize with her bc everything she went through as a child is js insane but that doesn’t excuse the fact that she wanted to use her twin as a replacement for those fuckass snuff movies 🤮 i also feel so bad for Amy as a child and like how she started to hallucinate and that stuff. one person i will hate for the rest of my life is Malonie. what a mother that u are. sick bitch!! ewww she’s disgusting ur basically the reason ur children got 🍇 and all that sick stuff and js increasing amy’s dose of that medicine when she didn’t even need it making her more crazy? disgusting! in most situations i would lowkey understand but NO! her and lyle deserve to rot in the deepest pits of hell! i’m so pissed off by lyle AND Delta i’m not even gonna bother talking abt them ✊❤️

So we finished the penpal duet!
It was not what I was expecting at first, I thought it was gonna be letters more than anything, but the letters and parts of the diary that they show on both books are complementary to the main story.
First book was a pain in the ass, but this one definitely was a bomb. I could say that 90% of this book was excellent, the romance felt real, I could connect and feel the characters, specially Amy, I even cried for her at the beginning.
The beginning was definitely majestic, a piece of art, I couldn’t help the feeling of dread that accompanied me during the reading… but also when I wasn’t reading!! I couldn’t put the book down, I was obsessed over it.
By the ending things were setting and of course the excitement turned into satisfaction. I personally felt like the revenge to Delta could have been better, but they did fine.
Finally, I think that the issue with Wilder and Sparrow was never resolved, we never knew what happened to them.
So excited to know that so many characters are also mentioned in the Morally Black series!
It was a worthy read. Definitely recommend.

Oh the things I would do to/for Xero Greaves is unhealthy. I am soooo happy they finally got their happy ending and got rid of that fucker. I wish there was more of Xero and Amy together without the constant worry of his father, but hey I guess this will have to do.

I am so glad I stuck with this series it's honestly a favorite for me! listen, if haunting Adeline was too much for you, please stay away from this one!

Book one was good and left me hanging to start book two…. But I have no idea what i just read. It was a strange rollercoaster ride with so many ups and downs. I had to forced myself to finish it and that was only because I needed to know how it would end.

“Because, no matter what they do or say to you, no matter how they break your spirit, I’ll be here to piece you back together. Even when you don’t believe in yourself, you’ll believe in me.”
After colliding back into the life of the real flesh and blood Xero Greves, Amethyst Crowley is about to undergo the most traumatic moments of her life. Confronted with a staged gang rape video featuring her twin sister Dolly posing as her, she feels she can no longer trust Xero as she watched his video form somply stand and encourage it. Rendering him unconscious, she sets the catacombs ablaze before making her grand escape straight to her mother's front door. Walking into a blood bath where her mother and Uncle Clive were both stabbed and shot to death, she never expected to come face to face with her mirrored image. Dahlia (Dolly) looks identical to her in every way, except when you look deeper than skin. An evil and corrupted girl, she spent fourteen years under Delta's personal abuse and the abuse accumulated from being trained as a Lolita Assassin. Forced to start in dozens of Snuff Films, she beat all the odds of survival and found herself a loyal fan base who would pay the highest dollar for a chance to start in one with her. When they finally captured Amethyst, they would bring her to Saint Christina Lunatic Asylum, the very place she spent countless hours being tortured by a sick doctor. As her memories of the past begin surfacing, her own twin would subject her to the cruelest conditions the entire time she was there. Sexually abused and humiliated, drugged and violated, she turned to her conjuring of Xero’s spirit to guide her through. Numbed from everything happening to her, she would eventualy gain the courage and try to escape but would find herself face to face with Xero again. Brleiving he's dead and Delta is simply trying to impersonate his son, she's understandably terrified of being too close to him again. Haunted with nightmares of her ordeal and dealing with the guilt of nearly burning Xero alive, she's ready to begin training and take back herself from all the men that have hurt her.
“I love you more than the blood in my veins. I love you more than the air in my lungs. You’re the first thing I think about when I wake, and the last on my mind when I sleep. I love you so much that every moment without you feels like burning in the pits of hell.” “I love you more than words could ever capture, because you’ve always been mine. Mine long before we even met. No one has ever completed me the way you do. You’re it. My everything. My perfect match.”
Determined to destroy anybody that dared touch his little ghost, Xero pours everything he has into rescuing her and working through her traumas together. Training with her and morphing her into the perfect warrior, she's no longer the victim fearing her abusers. Confronted with a a chance for vengeance and blood, she morphs quickly into the deadly killer we saw in the first installment. While Dolly does everything she can to ruin her image and point at Any for the murders, the real girl is hiding beneath the city streets. When Camila, Xero's sister is captured by Delta and Dolly, he knows his world is about to be flipped. Taken with Amethyst after being hit with tranquilizer guns, he's hyped up on Pcpand a cocktail of drugs before being forced to fight Amy to the death. Performing in their own sniff film, she manages to break through and get him to realzie it's really her and not her sister who shot Camilla. Left Alice, the two would set up a strike that'll leave so many corrupted individuals dead and his own father captured. Kept for a year in the cells, he was starved, broken down and tortured by every operative who he wronged. After an entire year of revenge, the time came when the group he spent his life creating of Assassins would be blown up in front of him before he was set on the electric chair himself. With Amethyst pronounced deceased, her and Xero begin a life with only each other and nobody left in their way.
The bond between us solidifies in that moment, and I know this truth, deep in the marrow of my bones. I will die for this woman, kill for this woman, slice through every living being on this planet for this woman. I would steal fire from the gods just to see the flames reflected in her eyes. I would tear apart the heavens to keep her safe, and face any measure darkness to hold her in my arms.
After colliding back into the life of the real flesh and blood Xero Greves, Amethyst Crowley is about to undergo the most traumatic moments of her life. Confronted with a staged gang rape video featuring her twin sister Dolly posing as her, she feels she can no longer trust Xero as she watched his video form somply stand and encourage it. Rendering him unconscious, she sets the catacombs ablaze before making her grand escape straight to her mother's front door. Walking into a blood bath where her mother and Uncle Clive were both stabbed and shot to death, she never expected to come face to face with her mirrored image. Dahlia (Dolly) looks identical to her in every way, except when you look deeper than skin. An evil and corrupted girl, she spent fourteen years under Delta's personal abuse and the abuse accumulated from being trained as a Lolita Assassin. Forced to start in dozens of Snuff Films, she beat all the odds of survival and found herself a loyal fan base who would pay the highest dollar for a chance to start in one with her. When they finally captured Amethyst, they would bring her to Saint Christina Lunatic Asylum, the very place she spent countless hours being tortured by a sick doctor. As her memories of the past begin surfacing, her own twin would subject her to the cruelest conditions the entire time she was there. Sexually abused and humiliated, drugged and violated, she turned to her conjuring of Xero’s spirit to guide her through. Numbed from everything happening to her, she would eventualy gain the courage and try to escape but would find herself face to face with Xero again. Brleiving he's dead and Delta is simply trying to impersonate his son, she's understandably terrified of being too close to him again. Haunted with nightmares of her ordeal and dealing with the guilt of nearly burning Xero alive, she's ready to begin training and take back herself from all the men that have hurt her.
“I love you more than the blood in my veins. I love you more than the air in my lungs. You’re the first thing I think about when I wake, and the last on my mind when I sleep. I love you so much that every moment without you feels like burning in the pits of hell.” “I love you more than words could ever capture, because you’ve always been mine. Mine long before we even met. No one has ever completed me the way you do. You’re it. My everything. My perfect match.”
Determined to destroy anybody that dared touch his little ghost, Xero pours everything he has into rescuing her and working through her traumas together. Training with her and morphing her into the perfect warrior, she's no longer the victim fearing her abusers. Confronted with a a chance for vengeance and blood, she morphs quickly into the deadly killer we saw in the first installment. While Dolly does everything she can to ruin her image and point at Any for the murders, the real girl is hiding beneath the city streets. When Camila, Xero's sister is captured by Delta and Dolly, he knows his world is about to be flipped. Taken with Amethyst after being hit with tranquilizer guns, he's hyped up on Pcpand a cocktail of drugs before being forced to fight Amy to the death. Performing in their own sniff film, she manages to break through and get him to realzie it's really her and not her sister who shot Camilla. Left Alice, the two would set up a strike that'll leave so many corrupted individuals dead and his own father captured. Kept for a year in the cells, he was starved, broken down and tortured by every operative who he wronged. After an entire year of revenge, the time came when the group he spent his life creating of Assassins would be blown up in front of him before he was set on the electric chair himself. With Amethyst pronounced deceased, her and Xero begin a life with only each other and nobody left in their way.

I will die for this woman, kill for this woman, slice through every living being on this planet for this woman. I would steal fire from the gods just to see the flames reflected in her eyes.

Bloody brilliant!
I cannot recommend this duet enough for all those DARK romance lovers out there 🖤
There’s plenty of twists in this book as you get a wider insight into Amethysts past and what has created the issues that she has. Her backstory absolutely pulls on your heart strings, being betrayed by those who should protect you most, and you can understand why she is the way she is 😳 I liked the diary inclusions, they were a good way to get insights 👍
The love that Xero has for his girl is just unreal, and the lengths he will go to to show her he will be by her side no matter what is just 🥹 honestly you get so many feels for these two 😍 don’t get me wrong there is A LOT of violence (mental physical emotional seggsual) in this one again, I cannot implore you enough to check your trigger warnings! But it just adds to the story for these two, there’s definitely an element of can they take anymore as you realise how interconnected their lives are 😲 but oh boy the revenge they get is just 👌a twisted tale of a couple willing to tie their souls together and go to the ends of their limits for each other 🖤

Whew... this duet. Let me tell you—I hate read this series, and I’m not even ashamed to admit it. I wanted to rate both of these books 2 stars lol - The constant make up, break up and miscommunication trope made me 100% rage read. I HATE that trope with a passion, and these books were full of it. But dammit, the plot kept me hooked, and I couldn't walk away.
The FMC drove me insane—like, girl, please get it together—but I also get it. She was dealing with serious mental health issues, and by the time all the plot twists unraveled, I couldn’t help but feel for her... even if she made me wanna scream half the time. And the MMC? Bruh... I needed him to get his shit together SO many times. She has MH issues - WTF is your excuse?????
Her constant mantra of “I don’t know what’s real” got old fast, but when all the secrets came to light... oof. My heart actually hurt for her.
And that plot twist (if you know, you know)—it got me. I really wanted a redemption arc for a certain character, but damn, those twists had me in a chokehold.
These books pissed me off, drove me up a wall, and almost made me DNF because of the miscommunication (did I mention I HATE that trope?), but I can’t deny that the story had me by the throat. If you can handle these tropes, the plot twists alone will make you devour this duet.

"In her gaze, I find my destiny, my reason for existing. Nothing else in the world matters but her."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This duet as a whole is an easy 5 stars.
The psychological rollercoaster it took me on was exactly what I was looking for. I was so confused at the end of the first book, but the second one pulls everything together in a way that made the entire journey worth it.
I listened to the audiobooks, and while they’re long, the narrators did an incredible job. You can really feel the emotions of each character, which made the story hit even harder.
Xero is easily in my top 10 fictional men. He’s completely unhinged, yet somehow poetic, with this deep, consuming obsession and devotion to Amethyst that seeps into everything he does. And Amethyst? She goes from this struggling damsel in distress to a total badass. I loved them both.
Overall, I had such a fun time with this duet and would definitely recommend it.

I wasn’t sure how I felt after the journey we went through during book 1. However, book 2 definitely made up for those feelings. It is darker than book 1, please read the trigger warnings.
The characters, flaws and all, changed for the better since we met them. I wasn’t sure how I felt about them initially but by the end of this book my feelings towards them had changed. Both have traumatic histories and they have a lot to overcome. They will never be able to fully leave it in the past but they learned how to adapt and use it to strengthen themselves.
The twists and turns had me on the edge of my seat, and the author answered all of the many questions we had. A satisfying duet and conclusion.

Xero is on the hunt to find his Amethyst after she was taken.
Even though she left him for dead.
this second part of the story will uncover Amethyst forgotten past, her memories will help Xero find his father and his secret underground dark society.
THE PLOT TWIST ...TWISTSSSS
the amount of trauma is monumental, i was left with my jaw on the floor.
one thing i love in dark romance as a rule, when the FMC get her fire back and goes on a revenge spree with the support of the MMC, and this book serves.
The mental instability will have questioning what's reel from what’s illusion.
Xero was there with Amethyst through her worst nightmares, the way she communicated with him in her mind broke my heart 💔 .
the unhinged things they both did to heal their trauma..
just prepare to read some ott scenes.
all that to say I LOVE THIS DUET !!!

Well thank god that is OVER. Whoever said it gets better in book two was a liar! That was such a painful read it’s unbelievable.
I did give this 1.5⭐️ this duet actually had potential like hear me out it was there but it just felt like it was written by a teen with the mindset of how ridiculous and outrageous can I make the smut and violent scenes?
FMC was insufferable through both books. I can’t be assed even going into that, I’d rather not waste more time even thinking about her.
The only good parts about this duet was everything that didn’t make sense in the first book came to light and it was rather interesting. The diary and flashbacks were the only really enjoyable chapters.
And the ending omg so dragged🙄 and it wasn’t really a satisfying ending.

I would give this 4.5 stars if I could.
This book was INTENSE. I was sucked in as soon as the first book ended. This one was hard at some points to get through just because of the trauma Amethyst was going through and experiencing. I was shocked at the twist that came out in this book, I couldn’t put it down, I had to read this book every chance I got.
Xero and Amy are definitely each other’s other half , the way they would get through anything together was great. Xerox’s patience for Amy was amazing, he definitely helped her through everything she has been through and definitely helped her burn the world down and anyone who did her wrong he was ready.
I definitely would read this again. It was a rollercoaster of emotions.

Come per il primo leggete i trigger warning prima di iniziare perché c'è di tutto.
Mi ha sorpresa. Segue molto la scia di Haunting Adeline (in modo positivo), quindi questo libro assume una trama più thriller/crime. Non mi aspettavo il colpo di scena alla fine del primo libro e che si protrae anche in questo secondo.
Unica pecca, forse, è che è leggermente troppo lungo.
Per il resto, per me come dark romance è promosso.

Gigi… you done it again.
Honestly this book had my heart so broken, the thing those girls went through and being pitted against each other was just heartbreaking. Didn’t condone Dolly’s actions but it made perfect sense.
Xero being a completely different person to who he was is book 1 was a shock but in a good way. It showed that he had a much more gentle side than anyone knew. The way he was there for Amy was just amazing. I LOVED this book so much.

4.5/5
This book would’ve been a 1000/10 read, if certain smut scenes wouldn’t have ruined it. The in-front of the dad scenes was… it was what I wished HA would’ve been regarding the healing part, but then it shook me the way Little Liar did 😭 also the dialogues in the smut were cringe… anyways I loved the complex characters of both MCs, this was something different than the usual DR and I really loved it. Plottwists on plottwist, I was actually really surprised, because after book one I thought everything was so clear but the cliffhanger??? Wow, definitely will be reading more of this author.
