Little Nightmare by Rachel Van DykenMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
📖Book Info
Welcome to your final dream.
Don’t worry. I’ll keep you safe.
I promise. Just close your eyes.
Sleep.
It's a bad omen when the nickname for the girl you're supposed to protect is Black Widow. It's still unclear where she got it from, but I've heard the word machete and laughter thrown around way more than I'm comfortable with.
The pay is so high that my brother and I, being from the De Lange Family can't really say no.
We slide so easily into the protective unit of the Five Families that they forgot to check if we had extra knives to drive into their backs.
They have a debt to pay.
And I'm more than willing to collect it in blood—hers specifically.
I'll make her love me.
I'll make her trust me.
And when she finally gives in…
I'll make sure she knows that everything she's ever loved was destroyed by the one she gave her heart to.
She’s a living nightmare and I’m the monster she innocently invited in.
Care to play?
She thinks I’m a toy, I’ll show her I’m the master of the web and in the end, I’ll make sure she bites.
When one Family falls—another will rise.

💭Our Thoughts
"That despite all the sadness in your soul and all the damage in mine- I'll live for you. Bleed for you. Die for you."
These two!
I suggest you prepare yourself in advance.
A teddy and tissues for comfort when all seems lost.
A pillow to pound when frustration peaks (and it will multiple times, also it's better than tossing your book.
And lastly, maybe a Long Island iced tea for the celebratory moments
This one is a bit of a rollercoaster
Be prepared for the unexpected - not just one or two surprises either
There are so many twists and Holy Chit moments that kept me on edge
Never knowing what or who was next
Oh, and the tension between Ace and Raven?
Who needed a knife with these two around
"Close your eyes and forget for a few hours- you have a lifetime to remember."
Raven had just lost her heart - his body wasn't even cold yet when her father assigned her a new protector.
Ace
Cold. Heartless. Beautiful.
The man triggered every defense response in her while somehow managing to ease her pain.
"It was beautiful, a little nightmare that turned into a dream I never thought I'd be given."
Ace knew the price for love, so he kept his heart locked away. But when it came to the sharp-tongued beauty, he found it was a price he would willingly pay, over and over again.
"Thank you for making the darkness warm."
Raven was the blade, and Ace was the shield.
"To be given a chance to give something so innocent, the absolute world you were never given."
*Heart Melt*
I can not wait to see where this goes. The end. That little twist.
