Publisher's summary

All hope was lost until Zoey Hennessy walked back into my world, shaking it up beyond repair when she uttered two simple words.

He’s alive.

She speaks of her brother, my Saint, the man who lost everything to set me free.

I believed he was dead. I saw it with my own two eyes. But when Zoey proves he’s alive and being held captive by a monster, I know what I have to do.

It’s time I saved him.

The plan is dangerous, and there are no guarantees I will survive. But if this nightmare has taught me one thing, it’s that I don’t cower in fear. I am a woman hellbent on getting back the man she loves, and nothing, no one will stand in my way.

However, what I uncover can only be described as hell on earth. The darkness has finally won, and Saint is lost to me forever.

Or so I thought.

Aleksei Popov is anything but a hero, yet in this story - he’s mine. Everything I believed in is about to be turned upside-down, and with freedom within my grasp, I wonder how far I will go and who I will sacrifice in order to set myself free.

"I am a huge fan of Monica’s books! She just has a way to pull you in from the start and never let you go. This is my favorite story of hers that I have loved the most! From beginning to end, she had me." (M. Robinson, Wall Street Journal and USA Today best-selling author)

IT’S A TWISTED, THRILLING, GRIPPING, GAME-CHANGER

OMG Monica, Monica, Monica.. I may have needed to wait months for this dark, riveting, exciting, terrifying, suspenseful, bitter-bitter-bitter-sweet book which concludes the All The Pretty Things trilogy.. but it’s also going to take me months to get over it!! I prayed he wouldn’t, but deep down I knew poor Saint would suffer and be violated at the hands of the evil, twisted monster who held him captive, however I didn’t expect to feel such harrowing hopelessness which oozed from those desolate chapters. In fact, I had to stop the listen a couple of times to reassure myself “there will be a happy ending”.. “there will be a happy ending”.. and, after you took me on this angsty, drama-filled, tension-packed, suspenseful journey, there it finally was.. the perfect HEA Willow and Saint very much deserved.

The various character growth throughout the three books has been phenomenal.. the plot, the pace, the depth and the storytelling has been sublime.. the secondary characters have been manipulative villains or helpful heroes and each one has been integral to the story. The fear was palpable, dark and intense.. and the enemies-lovers relationship between Saint and Willow was touching, masterfully crafted, and epically told. No words can really do this book (and the whole trilogy) justice.. no crown or award would ever be enough to express my deep respect, love and gratitude for this trilogy.. and no amount of time will make me forget this epic full-force thrilling love story. Willow is strong, courageous, self-sacrificing and determined to save the man she deeply loves.. Saint is in Hell, abused, tortured and taunted daily and now he’s mentally damaged too.. their pitfalls will be deep, their roadblocks impenetrable, their enemies villainous vultures and any chance of escape is virtually zero. Nevertheless, there’s a plan, and hope, and undying love.. and just one tiny sliver of a chance. But emotions are high, the hits just keep coming, sacrifices must be made and nobody will come out of the battle unscathed.

Worth a credit? Now, you only need to spend one credit to get this action-packed drama-fest of a trilogy narrated brilliantly from Willow’s PoV detailing their full-throttle full-range emotional rollercoaster romance - because books 1 & 2 are free with Audible Escape. However, I did spend the 3 credits.. and each and every one of them was definitely, absolutely, Hell f’king yeah! worth it.

Crazy train unleashes the crazy!

Wow, this audio... it just unleashed everything. I was so conflicted after the first two books. I was also so excited to get to know all the answers but again, it was ending. How bittersweet. I'm not going into it all. This is a trilogy you'll want to listen too. The narration has been consistent and I liked it on all three books. If you are a lover of dark romance and like your crazy with more crazy than this is definitely the series for you all to dive into.

* 4.5 Stars *

Holy Cow, the hits keep on coming for Saint and Willow! I absolutely loved the story of these two but I am sooo glad it is over, I don’t think my anxiety can take any more turmoil being heaped on to them! The second book left a bad taste in my mouth when it came to Willow but I got my wish and she was fierce in this book! I loved how she went from heartbroken at the beginning to a strong force once she realized what needed to be done to save Saint! So much has happened in this trilogy but Willow has been spared a lot because Saint came to rescue each time and he dealt with the consequences but in this one Willow got her hands dirty and it put them on a little bit more of an even playing field. Yes, there was an abundance of emotional dialogue that seemed to be on repeat when it came to Willow and she made some stupid and rash decisions in her quest to save everyone, but it was a horrible and stressful situation and not many people would think rationally and clearly. Saint is and will always be my favorite anti-hero! Everything he sacrificed for Willow blew me away, even when I wanted to yell at him not to because nothing would change… they would always have the intention of killing her. I was very nervous about the ending, with so much turmoil in the book it would have seemed weird to just have everything turn into sunshine and rainbows for them but I loved the way Monica James worked it… it was great closure! The narration for the entire trilogy added so much to the story, Yvonne Syn really brought the characters and story to life!

second time around

still just as, exciting if not more than the first time I listened. loved this

Wow!

Highly recommended!!!! My first time listening to anything by Monica James. But will not be the last. If you can appreciate a great dark romance this it! Drama , very dark romances, suspense. More than one great story line .

Not the book I was expecting.

I enjoyed the first two books in this series, but was so disappointed in this final book. The narration was great, same as first two books. I was even fine with the conclusion, but how you get there is brutal. The entire book was mainly her internal monologue rehashing everything ad nauseum. In the first two books where I thought she was brave and smart, she became this annoying, irrational character who continued to make horrible decisions. Many times I found myself yelling out loud as she made one rash poor decision after another. This was a frustrating read.

AMAZING

You will absolutely love this book in the series it is so captivating and nerve racking anticipating, keeps you so engrossed you can't put it down !!! narration is perfect

Dark but amazing!

If you’ve made it this far in the series then you shouldn’t be surprised to find out that this is a dark romance. Getting the news that Saint is still alive doesn’t necessarily guarantee a happily ever after for Willow. She is still going to have to fight and lose loved ones along the way in order to get her own life back.

You are my heart.My life. I promise to protect you

"I was ruined from the first moment I met you. You were never my prisoner...I was yours. I still am."

The ending to this book.. omg!!!

First of all, Saint is my newest book boyfriend!l.How could you not fall in love with him if you were Willow?

I do wish there was a longer epilogue, however, it did end as it should.

The narrator did an amazing Job, and I could not stop listening even when things got painful for certain characters.

I now want to read the whole series all over again. I'm curious if Alek will get his own book.

this entire series is full of so many twists and turns and you never knew which way it was going to go. what a ride. What an emotional roller coaster. All the feels.

Absolutely loved this series!!

Wow, I really loved this series. It was full of action, power, erotic and dirty sex, and romance that was wrong on so many levels but so right for Willow and Saint. Between the 3 books, you flip flop between hate, love, and even like the bad guys. Saint is the ultimate bad boy with an honorable heart that you can’t help falling for even though he is paid killer and kidnapper.

I am a 47 year old female, this series does contain graphic and violent sexual content. The evil acts tend to “soften” as you get the know the kinder side of the villains.

absolutely brilliant

the whole series was so good. from the plot to the narration. be prepared for lots of twists and turns and lots of tears so have your tissues at the ready
