***5 ‘So. Damn. Good’ Stars*** Actually this book, and series as a whole, deserves more than 5 stars. It was dark, decadent, sensuous, sinful and brutal and yet held such beauty despite, or because of, theses excesses that it sunk it’s greedy claws into me and I couldn’t put it down.

But of the three,  Diomêdês was the one who truly captured my heart....
