Title: Violence
Series: Antihero Inferno #3
Author: Lily White
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Violence
Also Known As Ezra Cross
He’s one of a pair.
Identical twin to Damon.
And an enforcer for the Inferno if one is ever needed.
I knew better than to get involved with him.
With his aggression.
With the constant fights.
With the games the twins were known to play with every woman stupid enough to fall for them.
We made a mistake when we met again as adults.
I fell in love.
He fell in love.
His brother fell in love, too.
What used to be a good time is now a tragedy.
Our story is messy.
It’s cruel.
It’s forbidden.
Despite all that, Ezra refuses to let go.
*** Each novel in the series depicts a unique romance, but the plots through each book connect in one world. For the best experience, read the series in order.
Nine Dangerous Men. Nine Unrepentant Sinners. Nine Irresistible Manipulators.

Each time I fall in love with the Inferno boy, lily outsmarts everybody in creating another sinfully delicious man and I have to fall for him all over again. This series is a Pandora's box of troubles and it's wide open! The worms are crawling out and I've got the ringside seat baby!!
As much as Oh so drool worthy hotties Tanner and Gabriel were, Ezra & Damon are right up to par with them in cruel sexiness and Devious duplicities
The Excruciating pull of unrequited love is savagely explored by Lily in Violence. We know that this love is doomed, we know that hearts will be damaged, we know that post Love-ocalyptic Inferno world will be full of ash and smoke, yet we can't take our eyes off it.
Emily being pulled on each side by Ezra and Damon will end up tearing my heart in two, lily makes sure of that.
“You were going the wrong way.”
“I don’t think away from you is the wrong way.”
Seventh Circle of Hell breached: Violence a.k.a. Ezra Cross, identical half of the twin masters of chaotic energy with Damon Cross. It's getting hotter, flames are rising higher and story is getting more intense.
Lily packs powerful punches and each one leaves a bruise behind. I was taken aback by the tightly restrained agitation that is fast churning beneath his cool and calm exterior. Both siblings are exact replicas of each other except in the manner they contain their violent streaks.
"Ezra is much colder than Damon. He’s power and control and domination, while Damon is hot, his actions always overtaking his thoughts, his instincts driving him without concern for the consequences.
Cold and hot.
Calculating and spontaneous.
Night and day.
Colorless and a broad spectrum of rainbow prisms.
Everybody thinks they’re the same.
But they’re not."
Ezra was the burdened one, the hardened one. The onus of protecting his brother and in the process destroying his own happiness tore at my heart. His love a bridled horse, powerful and energetic but knew when to pull reins in.
I entered the book rooting for Damon, came out crying for Ezra.
Damon was almost naΓ―ve, totally adorable in his fiery passion, his devotion matching his temper, utterly uncontrollable and swirling like a hurricane
Emily was a source of compassion for me. I found her a tad indecisive and pushover, but when in love, hearts soften and defenses shatter so I totally got her.
But their chemistry was explosive and irresistible!
I think the main tussle is between their love interest, Emily Donahue, who's already sentenced to a prison of loveless marriage with Mason Strom and tyrannical William Cross. They are both playing tug of war with Twins's souls, pulling them hard between darkness and light. Depends on which is more powerful- love or Abuse.
"Violence, or destruction, is the first oar. And forgiveness, or the ability to make things whole, is the one he doesn’t have. So we circle, and we spiral, and we fall. The long, deep, dark hole is never-ending."
The constant back and forth, I should & I shouldn't takes a heavy toll on Emily. It hurt my heart to see her hurt, them all pining, yearning, crying over the future that can never be.
As the series progresses, the threads of the web comes into focus, details become more sharper to decipher, secrets are tumbling out, picture getting larger as characters connect and fill the missing blanks. Trust lily to darken the rosy love story with graphite filter of intrigue and mystery. I'm chasing ripples as they spread, wanting the whole truth to emerge. Heart thumping, pulse pounding Rollercoaster ride to the center of Inferno where total annihilation awaits!!
5 stars for The Queen and The Beast who kneels at her feet
