Possessed: Tainted Book One
He became the monster to survive.
Now he has something to lose.
Kerry
When I was nine years old, I made the wrong decision for the right reasons. Ten years later, I’m still paying for it. The demon inside me is winning. My strength is gone. My control is slipping.
I’m done.
Then she finds me. All fire hair and sunshine smiles and blind, stubborn hope. She looks at me like I’m not the monster I know I am.
I should have scared her off. I should have let her walk away.
I didn’t.
I let her get close. Let her see too much. Let her become the one thing I can’t lose.
And then she’s gone.
Taken.
Bad move.
Because she’s not just the girl who tried to save me. She’s my last shred of humanity. My salvation. My heart. My angel.
So they can run. They can hide. They can crawl into the darkest corners of Hell.
It won’t matter.
I’ll find them.
Because I’m coming for her.
And I’m not bringing mercy with me.
Gemma
It was supposed to be a normal night. Just humming to myself as I walked home, thinking about the secret I’ve spent my whole life hiding. Then I saw a pile of rags on the sidewalk. Except it wasn’t rags. It was a boy. Broken. Bleeding. Barely alive.
He told me to run. I didn’t listen. I tried to heal him. And that’s when everything went wrong. I woke something dark. Something hungry. I should have died that night. The world thinks I did.
Now I’m trapped in a world I never knew existed—a hidden sanctuary for nephilim like us—forced to leave behind the only family I have, the life I was building, and the future I worked so hard for.
All because I tried to save a boy who doesn’t want saving.
He’s dangerous. Broken. Angry. And he hates that I see something more in him. But I do. I see the boy fighting to hold on. The one no one else believes is still there. So I stay. I fight for him, even when he pushes me away. Because somehow, he feels like home.
But something is coming.
Something bigger than either of us.
And when it finally catches up to us?
Saving him might be the thing that destroys us both.
The world fears the monster in him.
She’s the only thing he won’t destroy.
A slow-burn, emotionally intense romantasy with no explicit content.
Now he has something to lose.

The Blurb Doesn’t Do It Justice
I’m not sure I can do better, but here goes…..
What if you made the wrong decision for the right reason? Would it doom you to hell? And, even if not, would being tortured by it for ten years make you unable to think of yourself as anything but damned? Kerry was used to being the most powerful person in the room, but an angel and a group of people willing to befriend him despite his past, begin to teach him that strength isn’t only about power level.
This isn’t a love story. It’s a story about growing enough to be able to love.

First saw Kerry and Gemma in Rueas series which is set later. Was expecting a bit more action considering how they always talked about how powerful he is, but it was a lot younger/ more innocent than anything. I'm sure there will more action as the series continues. There was a ton of character development for Kerry which was nice to see.

Wonderful
This is like beauty and the beast, there's a reference to it. A unique storyline with wonderful characters. The MC's have made some very close friends that are a vital to the story. Loving it!
