Peter never does anything so cruel again. Zaires is a winner on this front.Īs for the waterboarding… basically, if you can accept this, the rest of the series is a doddle. Even the awful memories of his son’s death ease when he’s with Sara, so there’s absolutely zero safety concerns. Okay, so to get my first concern out of the way: there is no need to worry about Peter’s wife being a source of OW drama. He did feel affection for her, but he makes it clear he only married her because he got her pregnant, and Sara is the one he loves. Over the course of the evening, Peter has fallen into obsession with her, and it isn’t long before she sees him again, haunting her every step. When Sara wakes up, she finds that her husband has been murdered. Peter ties her up, waterboards her, and then eventually injects her with a truth serum to make her talk. He thinks George is one of them, notwithstanding Sara’s frantic protestations that her husband is only a journalist. Slowly, he’s hunting down and assassinating all the people he holds responsible for the deaths of his wife and son. He wants information from her specifically, the location of her husband George, who’s been left brain-damaged after a car crash.ģ5-year-old Peter Sokolov is an ex-Russian agent who’s now turned to the dark side and is wanted across the world. But unlike your average home intruder, he isn’t just after rape or robbery. Zaires’s winning combination – criminal action, super-possessive antiheroes, and surprisingly likeable heroines – is once again on display.Ģ8-year-old Dr Sara Cobakis returns home one night to find pretty much any woman’s worst nightmare: a terrifying man has broken into her home and is holding her at knifepoint. I put this book on hold after starting it last year because I wasn’t feeling it, but then I picked it up again a few months ago and tore through all four instalments in the series. Honestly, I don’t think anybody does the modern-day dark hero QUITE like Anna Zaires does. The man who stars in my nightmares wants me. Now he’s back, but he’s no longer after my secrets. He tormented me and destroyed me, ripping apart my world in his quest for vengeance. He came to me in the night, a cruel, darkly handsome stranger from the most dangerous corners of Russia.
