Blurb:
It was the biggest day of my life.
I know most people say that about something joyous; a graduation, a wedding ceremony, the birth of their
first child. My situation was a little different.
Sure, it was my eighteenth birthday, but it was also the day that I was sold.
Sold to a man with hair like a crown of gold and eyes blacker than the darkest pits of Hell.
He bought me to own me, to control me, and to use me as a means to an end.
I was his tool and his weapon.
And through it all, somehow, I also became his salvation.

Excerpt:
I was locked in the dark but it was more than an absence of light. It was the blackness of my own solitude, the quantum hole at the center of my soul that was slowly sucking away at everything that made me me.
I tried to write an encyclopedia of Cosima facts to cement my sense of self in the chaos of night that had become my life.
Cosima Ruth Lombardi.
Born August 2nd 1998 in Naploi, Italia to Caprice Maria Lombardi and Seamus Patrick Moore.
My favourite colour was wine red, captured in a glass and held over rich, warm candlelight.
I loved poppies best of all flowers because they reminded me of me in a way that was narcissistic but true. They were bold as blood, stark against the softer colours of the traditional Italian countryside. They demanded notice and received it. But their beauty was short-lived and fragile as the thin silk of their petals. They fell to bits within a week and scattered on the wind.
I felt very much like one of those black centered blooms, falling apart with every breath I took without even one witness to my dematerialization.
He wanted me like this.
Lost like decaying particles in a petri dish.
I didn’t have to hear his British accented voice clipping the words into neat little explanations to understand why.
He wanted me broken.
A beautiful, hollow shell to break open and f*ck into.

Whoop Whoop!!!
Just popped my Giana Darling cherry with this book. Boy oh boy what a book!
Just what I needed to read, a book that is dark, full of twists and a cliffy that will make you want to eat Italian food until the next book is released!
With that being said, if you are a dark lover and enjoy scenes that are full of explicit descriptions… this book is right up your alley!!!
From the beginning of this book until the very last page, you are transported through some pretty intense scenes. Each one unlocking the story. Some, you will want to jump in and try to shank the opponent others, you will want to jump in and join in on the fun!
This book has set the stage for the other books in this series. I cannot wait to devour the upcoming books!!!
As with all dark books, please only read them if you are a dark lover with zero triggers.
What an extraordinary story about personal courage and strength of spirit.
Gianna has outdone herself with this book where she throws everything in the kitchen at the waifish 18 year old Cosima Ruth Lombardi and this girl refuses to crumble!! The topolina is a fighter, survivor and a warrior. Can you tell I'm totally in love with her !! *Lady-boner*!!!
"It’s the duality of a strong mind and a submissive spirit, a fierce heart."
She has steel in her spine to carry a boulder of responsibility resting on her slim shoulders. A sacrificial lamb walking to the slaughterhouse, betrayed by all, the only way is forward.
And who is she walking to? the man who bought her?
Alexander Davenport-Earl Of Thornton. Intoxicating in his beauty, master of his domain and secretive in his intentions, he's ruthless, dominating, seemingly cruel & a heartless monster
"I’d never met a man so like a maze. Around every corner lurked another shock, some horrific dangerous beast of a kind I could never begin to understand, but others softer, fair like summer Fae."
It's a total and equal battle of wills that follows. Although I must say, Xan gets an upper hand most of the time physically but in soul, Cosima beats him every time
"You may own my body, Lord Thornton, but you will never own my mind, my spirit or my heart.”
This book isn't for the faint of hearts!!
I found myself crying out in pain for Cosi in many scenes. I was rooting for her to either win or die. It was that simple!
It's a sharp, racy story that runs at breathtaking speed with multiple characters hiding in the shadows.
All is NOT what it seems !!
It will get your heartbeats through the roof, your pounding pulse may jump out of your skin and your throat may be clogged as your heart jumps up in it!!
Adventurous, horrendous, completely engrossing, I LOVED the story, the people, the plot.
The narration could use some extra work but the story is so thrilling, I just kept turning the pages at fan-speed!!
Well done Darling. You wove a tapestry of colourful lies, secrets and conspiracies and I was dazzled and enthralled!!!
And you KILLED me in the end!!😭
Hurry up and write the next one while I toss and turn😦
4.5 stars for Figli Bastardi
