Cutthroat

by Natasha Preston

It’s been five years since the River Scouts, and Zeke is finally fleeing to a remote snowboarding resort in Italy to escape his troubled past.

Unfortunately for him, trouble doesn’t like being so far away, and it soon chases after him in the form of a seventeen-year-old beauty that he’s not allowed to touch. One look at Nora, and he’s addicted.

Their game starts with watching each other, but it soon takes a murderous turn when Nora punishes Zeke by looking at other men. If he can’t have her, no one can.

As careful as he’s been, it’s not long before cops begin to suspect Zeke. On the night of Nora’s party, the police storm in, and Zeke must snowboard down the mountain to escape. Nora can choose to stay and celebrate or mix blood with snow and embrace the darkness with Zeke.

He knows she’s not innocent, but he has no idea how twisted her heart really is.

Wtf? This book is fucked up.

[Beth Roger aka Katiebella_Reads · Rating 4 out of 5]

Love and murder

What does it say about me that i enjoyed this book so very much? 🤔
Zeke kills any man that gets close to Nora. Nora keeps sleeping with other men. They play off each other with a fierce devotion that's psychotic yet beautiful

That was…different.

This is probably my favorite novella of the year. Great plot, a mix of darker romance and thriller in one. Highly recommend if you want a quick, fun read! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was interesting to read his pov but there were a lot of things that felt unnecessary.

Natasha Preston is one of my favorite authors. Although this isn't my favorite book she has written, I enjoyed the quick journey she took me on.
Does it make me slightly crazy that I enjoyed how jealous Zeke was? Probably.
And the fact he would unalive men who touched Nora? It’s a 🚩yet I enjoyed it. (I would NEVER accept that behavior in my real life)
I did not know where this story was headed however it kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next.
It was a quick read full of top tier spice and chaos.

I absolutely loved it. I really enjoyed Zeke and how he embraced his dark side. I was a little surprised at Nora I didn’t think she had it in her. I expected the end though, which was a little disappointing but that was the only downer.

very short story about a guy obsessed with a girl while working on a ski slope. She is underage (17) and knows how to tease Zeke to the point of madness (he kills the two people that she messes with) since Zeke is cautiously waiting until shes 18 (like 7 days) to have his way with her.

Definitely used to young adult thrillers by this author . So this was different . I usually really love her books . This was technically a novella .. it had potential if it had been a longer book. It was too rushed , I guess that’s a point of a novella though .

Amazing! I was absolutely blown away with this dark read! Nora and Zeke’s story blew my mind!

[Kasey Harding · Rating 3 out of 5]

The ending was so unexpected , I predicted something completely different .

[Cindy Long · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hmm this was a steamy, illegal and taboo fast read! I loved it. I love all of Natasha Preston’s books. ❤️ It’s definitely not for everyone though. ☺️

Whoa. I don't even know what I just read, but like in a good way

[Lynda OConnor · Rating 5 out of 5]

Short story with very detailed information

[Yerawizardsaraaa · Rating 4 out of 5]

Maybe it's just the American in me (iykyk) but the age gap bothered me a little, other than that it was a good quick read

[Kaola Bovell · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very intense 100 pages of reading....wow.

[Sariah Larsen · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was just too short to really have much about it that was satisfying. The writing is good, I love Natasha Preston though. This isn’t her best book, but it’s also not her worst

[kyra · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5

[Paola Moctezuma · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is quite graphic and totally fucked up.

It is exactly what I expected from Natasha Preston meets dark romance. Loved it

[Catherine Turner · Rating 3 out of 5]

That was… unexpected.

This shorty story gave me ‘You’ season 2 vibes.

[Cathy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good book

[Regina Lopez · Rating 5 out of 5]

Este fue el gran inicio de una gran antología.
Es que no lo vi venir del todo. Es decir, al final no habían más que dos opciones pero es difícil ver que los protagonistas caigan en el lado moralmente incorrecto pero cuando lo hacen, lo hacen de un modo que solo deseas saber más. Es difícil pensar en un HEA pero a todas luces ambos personajes son merecedores
Zeke es como una alma atormentada que encuentra en la sangre una forma de parar aquello que le resulta incorrecto y Nora es lo que uno pensaría "son tal para cual" y no tendrías ninguna cosa fuera.
Me gustó y me mantuvo en vilo hasta la última línea

I enjoyed reading from the MC pov but the story was very repetitive. And Nora, she was a little too psycho for me LOL
