GrnEyed's Reviews > Fear the Heart

I’m going to make a suggestion prior to starting my review, if you can only read this book and not Slip of Fate, the first book in the series, do NOT hesitate. You will not regret it. Although some pieces appear missing in the story here and there due to not reading the first book, by the end of the book everything was making sense to me.

As for the book itself, Hettie Ivers is an absolute master when it comes to storytelling. I have not bothered reading many books involving supernatural themes, such as the ones in this book. The only thing I have experienced that come close to this is the Twilight series. I have to say, this book is on par, if not better, than that series.

Hettie created characters that a fearless, ferocious, strong, weak, naïve, funny, incredibly sexy and much more. I was pulled into Milena’s world wanting to know if she’d survive. Would she be able to withstand the force that is Alex? When a man such as Alex says, “Regardless of whether or not I deserve you, Milena, I want you. I need you. And I intend to have you. Always,” can you possibly say no?

If Alex doesn’t grab a hold of you and practically rip your heart out of your chest in the most romantic way possible then he will grab you in other ways. Milena will grab your heart and stir the fires of passion deep in your innermost core. The fires Hettie starts with Milena and Alex are the type of fires that may just burn down the Amazon Rainforest.

If the love, passion, and sensuality doesn’t keep you turning each page with enthusiasm, the familial connections and back story between Milena, her brother Raul, their parents will shock and surprise you. It may also tug at your heartstrings as it did for me when Milena discussed her cancer brain mom.

This book, these characters, quickly provided me with so many things and reminders of the most important things in life they swept me away. I plan to read Slip of Fate followed by Fear the Heart, for a second time, so I can immerse myself fully, into the lives of Milena, Alex, Raul, Alcaeus, and the rest of the characters. I cannot wait to see where Hettie Ivers takes her characters in the next book in the series!
