5 **Because...pancakes.** STARS

“You did not take what was mine and not expect to pay in blood, sweat, or pussy.
He took my girl. He wanted to take my life?
His payment would be blood.”

I have to confess something. I was sceptical about this book. When I first read King, I immediately fell in love with the characters, the crazy twists and turns, but most of all Preppy and the beautiful love story. So, why was I not sure about this book? Well, because when a book completely takes your breath away that's like catching lightning in a bottle and I always thought lightning wasn't supposed to strike twice, but it did. Oh man, did it ever.

At this point I'm not even sure which book I like better.



Tyrant picks up right where we left off with King. Doe is taken back home by her father, boyfriend and son. King on the other hand is being arrested by someone who turns out to be no police officer at all.

The dynamic and feel of this second instalment is quite different from the first book. For the better part of the book Doe and King are separated, fighting a war on two fonts, if you will. Doe or Ray or Pup, whatever you want to call her, has to figure out how to reconcile the person she has become and the one everyone expects her to be, which happens to be mainly a mother. Talking about mindf*cks.

There are still so many open questions, but with the return home Doe finally experiences little flashbacks and remembers snippets from her former life. It is quite remarkable how Ms. Frazier put it all together. I loved the pacing with which she revealed the story and what a tale it is. I had so many 'WHAT...BUT HOW...I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING!' moments.

“I'm not afraid of you anymore, I'm only afraid of a life without you.”

King on the other side of town is fighting an uphill battle. He wants his girl back, maybe even get his daughter if at all possible and then there are some forces closing in on him he really can't handle at the moment. It's all very much a clusterf*ck.

In the end he remember who he really is - the bad guy. And once he does The King of the Causeway starts to kick some major ass and don't be surprised if he takes a few names here and there.



For me personally, this was a perfect book. It had it all. Insane revelations, smoking hot interactions between our lovely couple and some seriously smooth writing. But most of all, Preppy. Not going to say more, because if you haven't read books one....*huggles*.

What broke my heart and at the same time made me very excited for Lawless, was Bear's storyline. Should make for an interesting read if nothing else.

“You and me... We're a forever kind of thing.”

Tyrant is a gripping, fast paced conclusion for this two part series. I could not put this books down. It is an edge of the seat read with a storyline that will have your head spinning out of control. I'm absolutely serious about that. Once Ms. Frazier started to put the strings from book one and two together my mind felt a bit like exploding. It is pretty genius and I honestly didn't see it coming. Kudos to that!

*sigh* And we have another Book Hangover! Oh well...
