Monster in His Eyes -- 4 stars --- I devoured this book. Fair warning to potential readers: This is a dark, sinister book. If you are looking for a soft romance do not one click. This book is NOT for you. The story is all-consuming and intertwines a passionate tale about a young girl and a cynical man.
Karissa is 18 to Naz’s 36 – again if this bothers you do not one click. Karissa is a undergrad student who is trying to keep her college scholarship when she bumps into Naz under very strange circumstances. Although he is much older, the unsettling of needing to touch this man burns deep. Naz is taken with the young beauty and so it begins …..
Naz makes no apologies and wont apologize for the man that he is. His past has led him to make all the choices he has had to make. Naz makes no secret that he ahs fallen in love with Karissa and will do anything to keep her safe at any costs. He will not allow her to leave him. Naz is a dark man that has you pulled in from the minute you meet him and lord help us all. What a man he is.
Karissa is new to the great city of New York. She has lived a sheltered life but is learning quick. She is smart, she knows what she wants, and even though she is scared, she finds herself craving love fulfillment of desires and attention from Ignazio. Karissa is young and finds her way tumbling through the darkness surrounding Naz. Can she handle his secrets and how innocent is she really?
As soon as we meet Naz you can feel the dark and dangerous flowing from him. The man practically exudes trouble. You can just see the future coming for Karissa to swallow her whole. At first when we start to see signs of his secrets it was easy to pass it by because really no one is going to think these things of their boyfriend, I could understand how Karissa didn’t see it. But as we get closer to the end of the book I just wanted to shake her. Karissa definitely has a few, “Oh honey” moments. I think Karissa’s love for Naz and the fact that she’s wrapped up in him helps to keep her shielded from things we as readers are able to see.
I freaking love Naz! Sure Naz does some horrible things, but I just couldn’t hate him. The man is a walking piece of mystery, sex and domination all wrapped up in to one sharp dressed man package. Naz has this way about him that he’s gritty, edgy and frankly a bit scary but at the same time he’s almost sweet. I know its taboo love him, but I do, I can’t help it. He says some of the worst things, but when he says them you can feel the emotion pouring out of him and for a guy of his caliber it’s like a peek inside his soul. Some of the things he says sound darkly romantic, but you know at the same time there is a hint of truth in each of them. He can make the darkest sentiments seem oh so nice.
Their love story is exquisite in a dark and disturbing way. The relationship between these two characters is almost animalistic. You cant seem to get enough of not only the intimate details but also the electricity between Naz and Karissa. Some of the scenes may have you squirming in your seat but let your dark side shine ladies.
J.M. Darhower did a great job of making the age difference a non issue. However that doesn’t bother me anyway. Karissa grows up quickly and we don’t see many of those immature 18 year old moments that you find in so many other books with characters this young. There is a cliffhanger and boy is it a good one. Who really is the monster between these two characters? You might be surprised!
