DETAILS

Synopsis

LITTLE DEMON I was raised in a world where money and power are at your fingertips. My father is a LORD, a very respected member of a secret society that knows no bounds. When tragedy struck my family, we discovered we weren’t untouchable. Just when I thought life couldn’t get any worse, I was shown what hell is really like. Then he came and saved me. The devil disguised as my personal hero. But of course, nothing is for free. Not when a soul is up for grabs.   I VOW. YOU VOW. WE VOW. Easton Bradley Sinnett—Sin—uses his power for his own sick pleasure. Like a typical Lord, he never thought about the consequences of his actions. I grew up with him, obsessed over him, craved him. He was who I pictured when I imagined doing things my body shouldn’t want. One day, I realized he was not who I thought he was. It didn’t change anything, though, because I was already too far gone. If anything, I fell for him harder. Every now and then, someone enters your life who flips it upside down. Sin wrecked me in the worst way, and I thanked him for it by serving on my knees. As they say, nothing lasts forever. Men like him never stay with a woman like me. I’m what they use, not keep. So when he threw me away, I shouldn’t have been all that surprised. My body had always craved the darker side of love. The kind that left bruises and scars. I was what most would call unholy. And when the devil whispered in my ear that he loved me, I was more than determined to show him just how devoted I could be.

Quote(s)

1.    To all the dark romance readers whose minds are as fucked up as mine, this is for you. Embrace the darkness, for it is there that a light gets its chance to shine. And you are a motherfucking star, so don’t ever be afraid to light up the night. 2.    You’d be surprised what a man will do to survive, Easton, he added when I questioned how he could take a man’s life and then go about his day like it didn’t happen. 3.    The point of being a Lord is to do their dirty work for them. 4.    I’ve been here before. A lot of times, actually, over my twenty years of existence. 5.    It makes me groan, thinking of grabbing her hair and burying my face in her neck. My fingers digging into her creamy thighs while my cock fucks her cunt. 6.    Everyone is dressed to the nines, like they always are. 7.    I like the rush of killing. I know that’s what a serial killer would say. And although I do kill people, I do it because I’m ordered to. Not because I choose random people to torture. My assignments come from a higher-up. And you never say no. A Lord lives in a kill-or-be-killed world. And I don’t know about you, but I’d do anything to survive. Even if that means taking someone else’s life. 8.    This is it. What we’ve trained for. What we were bred for. A Lord is a machine. He does not fail at any task, no matter how big or small. 9.    Pocketing the cell, I try to ignore the pain in my chest. It’s for the best. I’m not the kind of girl you stay around to be with. I’m the kind a man calls at two o’clock in the morning because he wants his dick sucked. And I accepted that a long time ago. 10. Until he understood he betrayed his wife. A twenty-five-year marriage down the drain for a kink. 11. I learned that just because your body craves something doesn’t mean you should give it what it wants. 12. Sex is like anything else – an act that can be used, bought, or sold. It’s addictive. It’s that high you’re constantly chasing. If you ask me, it’s the most dangerous drug out there. It makes you irrational, desperate, and a little psycho. 13. This son of a bitch sits at his desk while she stands in front of his class reading off her deepest, darkest desires, and then he fucks her in secret. 14. “It’s okay, Elli. If you keep my secret, I’ll keep yours, deal?” 15. “Why don’t you call me Daddy.” 16. That was the first time he ever touched me. Years later, I’d willingly given him my virginity. 17. A chosen must be placed on the list by her parents. A male descendant serves the Lords. A Lord who has a daughter may make her serve as well. It’s his chance to show the Lords their gratitude. We all play our part in this secret society. 18. Women are easy to manipulate. Especially a grieving woman who lost her second husband. it makes her vulnerable and needy to anyone offering her any type of attention. 19. I try to tell myself that I didn’t know better. But I did. I knew listening in on the sessions was wrong. I knew that wanting those things I heard was wrong. I knew letting him touch me was wrong. But I felt so good. being wanted felt good. I had felt lost and ignored for so long. I was lonely, until I wasn’t. 20. Why did I drink so much? I know why. To drown out the memories that were screaming in my head. But they always come back. You can’t erase real life. No matter how much you try. 21. I’m not upset that I’m no longer spreading my legs for David. I’m mad at myself. How do I keep doing this? Put myself in situations that I know are wrong. First James, then David, and now Sin. 22. James may have fucked me, but he took his time getting under my skin. Making me believe that I needed him. Lincoln is not that kind of man. 23. When I get my hands on you, those six years with James will feel like heaven. 24. Elli is a good girl and I hate what she’s been through, but she’s been groomed for too long. You can’t reverse that type of psychological damage. 25. Part of being a Lord is always being at the top of your game. You don’t want to be called out on an assignment and be too fucked up to complete it. Or worse, be too fucked up and get yourself killed. 26. I never knew what he meant, and I never asked anyone. 27. The only parent she had just admitted that she knew what was happening but chose not to protect her. Not to stop it. 28. The things Marcus and his friend could have done to her are endless. Has she learned nothing about men? Fuck, growing up in a world knowing that Lords exist should be enough to terrify her. 29. Elli needs constant reminding that she’s owned. That she belongs to someone. Otherwise, she feels lost. Like a child roaming the streets looking for their parents who don’t give a shit about them. 30. Go ahead, run away if that makes you feel better about yourself. But you won’t get far. 31. … the Lords have women on the side. When you’re told you can have anything you want, women included, why would they be satisfied with one? 32. The point is to make the Lady as ugly as possible. It doesn’t matter if he loves her or not. It’s the fact that she stepped out on him. We are all about loyalty, devotion. That’s what I love about you, Elli. 33. And David, you owe me for David. I sent him to you. Told him that you were such a good whore and needed to be fucked. 34. You may marry him, but you will serve whoever he tells you to. 35. If life has taught me anything, it’s that it doesn’t stop when you need rest. You swallow your cries and you lift your chin. Because life doesn’t give a fuck about you. You either take it, or you let it kill you. Never trust a man unless you know what he’d do to survive. 36. I love my sister to death and would do anything for her, but she chose this life with the Lords. She had every chance to run the other way, and she didn’t. Corbin isn’t they guy she thinks he is. He’s a Lord and that will always come first. No matter how much he loves her. The Lords will always like to test us with things that we love. 37. I should have known the moment I realized she had taken drugs. It’s her escape. He way of coping with performing actions that she knows are wrong. 38. To use me against her makes my chest tighten. No wonder she hates me. She let him have something that wasn’t his. She protected me like I have her all theses years. But what did it cost her? Her sanity. she’s no longer the same. James toyed with her. Made her beg to be fucked. Linc will make her beg him to stop, which he won’t do. He lied to her, my father and hers never had an agreement for us to marry. It’s just another way to hurt her. Make her feel like she was close to getting what she wanted, but he had the power to take it away. 39. “Yes, I know what he agreed on,” Chance snaps, interrupting him. 40. I’m serious, Becks. It’s not like she’s a fucking virgin and you’ll be the first one there. I want her after the wedding. Hell, you can be there and watch, but I want to fuck her before you do. I’ve earned that. 41. “She’s out,” he says in greeting. 42. Well, I know I was fucked up, but I’ve never been that far gone before. 43. I fucked you cunt last night in our bed and you didn’t move. Imagine if I had been a stranger, Elli. Someone taking advantage of you in such a vulnerable state. 44. Pretty sure she’s still in shock. The anger will hit her soon and she’ll try to get back at me. I’m ready. I needed to get her pissed. I was tired of seeing her depressed. All I keep thinking about is how I’m going to walk into the hous and find her dead because she thought it was her only way out. 45. Instead, I’m marrying a man who plans on loaning me to whoever wants me. 46. We all pay a price, Sin. Some more than others. What it ends up costing us depends on how bad we want it. 47. I slid it into the slack for you to sign when you closed on this house. You signed it. Not even bothering to read it. 48. I remember James taking pictures of me. He would tell me that I was too pretty to not capture the moment. Or that he wanted something to look at later when he was alone. 49. The thought of beating the shit out of Holland sounded good. it was exactly what I needed. But as I see my wife upset and softly crying in the shower alone, he can wait. He doesn’t deserve a moment of my time. she does. He already took her from me for the two days she went through withdrawals, and I hated every second of it. There was nothing I could do to make it better. But right here, right now, I can do something for her. Show her what no one else has ever done – that she comes first. 50. He threatened to go to the Lords, but Laura offered up Elli to him. 51. I’ve had a clock ticking since I made my deal with the Spade brothers. And I don’t regret it. 52. “Everyone pays for their sins,” I mumble. None of us are untouchable, no matter if we want to think we are or not. 53. Lastly – don’t lose yourself in your own mind, Elli. Don’t let yourself drown trying to save someone who refuses to swim. Stay clear-headed. Don’t fog your brain with drugs or doubt. You are stronger than that. Know that you are loved by a man that wanted the world for you, even if he wasn’t able to deliver. 54. Sin lights up on it and I spin around quickly to look at the guy standing in the doorway to my room. There’s no phone in his hand. 55. I was always supposed to marry her… 56. That was torture for her and for me, not being able to help her. Being helpless to the one you love is a different kind of hell. 57. I hope you made him pay for what he did to her. 58. She wants to follow in her mother’s footsteps as a sex therapist. I wasn’t sure how I felt about that at first, but she explained to me that she wished she had someone to talk to all those years and I couldn’t deny that I wished she had that too. 59. She loves when I play with them. Especially lately. They’ve been extra sensitive. 60. I’m going t take my pregnant wife to dinner… 61. I want my family to have the life I wish I had. Surrounded with lots of love and support. 62. I feel the first tear run down my face while I smile. This is what I always wanted. To be loved and feel safe. 63. Our kids couldn’t be more different in every way. People who don’t know our family thinks they’re twins. But what do you expect when they’re the same age? 64. They know the truth, but to them they are brother and sister. Elli is Mom and I’m Dad and anyone who can’t understand or accept that can go fuck themselves.

Reading Experience

Mad doesn’t cover it all and I’m beyond furious! This is so messed up and twisted! I know that what happens in this story, it might have happened in real life. Which is why I decides to finish reading the whole book despite being disgusted. Real life scenario almost always be ten times worse than this book. I can’t imagine human will treat their species with this kind of horrific things. It blows my mind in a horrible way. I feel sorry for and what she has been going through since young. It is very wrong for the parents’ part, well, in this case, of the adults when they are supposed to be nurturing the young ones. I hate it when the mom blames her sleeping with her husband. ARGH! I feel like throwing punches! And then when it reveals that she trade her to cover her secret… GOSH! That is just crazy! She SHOULD BE BANNED from having children! She’s so dang selfish! I can feel the sadness she has when men used her like she is just a tool! She IS NOT supposed to feel like that! She is supposed to be happily growing up without sweet and loving parents supporting her! But not preying after her, definitely not grooming her! Goodness! She even used drugs after she got raped at sixteen just to avoid the pain and holes in her heart and soul! The more I write, the more I got mad! This is unforgivable! If you just wanted the company, why trade your daughter? That’s your blood! You’re insane! May she have happily ever after with Sin and all she has the rest of her life is happiness and everything goes smoothly for her. Okay, enough with the use and sadness. ARGH! I just hate it when she starts to pop the pills! She KNEW she’ll be used by the guys! SHE KNEW! Yet she chooses to do it without considering her safety and cry afterwards! Dang it! It repeats and repeats and repeats! You’re twenty plus! The brain of yours, it’s not a furniture that grows on your body, you know! ARGH! USE IT, WILL YOU! Other than that, when you have doubts, please please please, confront your partner, DO NOT STOP HIS EXPLANATION! Things wouldn’t have happened if you listen! AND! When you are in danger, ACCEPT THE FARKING CALL!!! Gosh! I got so annoyed!!! Actually, beyond annoying! Oh man! Why make your life so difficult when you can simplify things? Geez! Overall, what Sin and Elli have is a toxic relationship that suits them and suits them only. Do not attempt to imitate them!
