Dance with Death by Brynn Ford - Review

Dance with Death by Brynn Ford is the second book in The Four Families series. You should read the previous book first because this continues after that. This book is definitely for dark romance lovers. It's a cruel, twisted and tragic love story. There are few trigger warning for this book, so you should check them out. 

I cried many times while reading this book, and this is a very emotional book. I felt so much for Anya. I can feel her pain and fear in the book. I really hope she gets her happy ending. I like Ezra even more now, but I don't know what to think about Nikolai anymore. Can't decide if I kinda like him or hate him. Excited to see what the next book brings. 

Dance with death is well written, and I enjoyed reading it. There is mysteries, secrets, lies and suspense. This book will end in a cliffhanger too, and I'm definitely craving more. 

I received a free ARC copy of this book, and I am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions are my own.

Blurb:

Holding onto hope was dangerous, but letting go of it would be fatal.

We’d made the worst mistake of all—we had fallen in love. But all the love in the world couldn’t save us from our captivity. Just when we thought we would be okay, a future we never should have hoped to have was taken from us.

Our master was preparing to hurt us in his rage against our love. The only thing worse than the physical pain of the injuries he gave me was the ache of knowing what was to come.

He was going to tear our love apart.

I thought my life was hell before, but my master was prepared to teach me that I was wrong. Dead wrong.

I was about to learn the true definition of torture, of torment, of despair. I could only dream about the man I loved, hope that he might someday fulfill his promise to find a way to save us both. But I had already learned the hard lesson that hoping only made reality harsher.

The harsh reality was that my love was lost, my hope was gone, my life was over.

And I was forced to learn the steps for this slow dance with death.
