LITTLE NIGHTMARE
Rachel Van Dyken
Release Date: June 5
Available in Kindle Unlimited
Not all monsters hide under the bed. Some guard your heart while plotting your ruin.
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken comes a gripping standalone mafia romance set in the electrifying world of the Eagle Elite series.
Welcome to your final dream.
Don't worry. I'll keep you safe.
I promise. Just close your eyes.
Sleep.
Grief has five stages, they say. But in the mafia, there's only one: survival.
The day I buried my boyfriend, the Families replaced him with the man who rejected me four years ago—Ace "Matchstick" De Lange. Cold. Calculated. Deadly. He has the bedside manner of a serial killer and the looks of a fallen angel. And now, he's my shadow, ensuring I don't end up in the grave beside the man who died for me.
I despise that I'm the one left behind. I loathe how Ace provokes me, pulling me from the abyss of my sorrow. But most of all, I hate that the only piece I have left of my dead boyfriend is something others would kill to possess.
When Ace uncovers my secret, there's only one solution: marriage to the devil himself to protect the legacy of the one who had no choice.
I vow never to love him. He promises he'll never love me.
He's a means to an end—the only one who can stand against my father and live to tell the tale.
He claims his life is mine, but I don't want it.
I tell him I'll never be his.
Ace's response? A chilling, "We'll see."
But what happens when everything you believed was a lie? When the only one who can free you from your nightmare threatens to drag you deeper into the darkness?
Some families are tested and break under the weight of the mafia. The De Langes broke... then gathered the pieces and rose.
Review:
I knew the RVD angst would come and it had me in its CLUTCHES by the end of this book!!
Honestly, I did not know what to expect for this story. I knew it was Raven’s story, a daughter of our beloved Eagle Elite mafia family; but truthfully, she didn’t stand out to me much in previous books so I didn’t know if I would feel very connected to her or this book. That concern got cleared up pretty quickly, though! While I may not have gone in to this book knowing too much about her character, I’ve realized now that she’s one I am so glad I got to read and learn more about. She seems like one of the most real, most approachable, most normal characters there could be in a mafia family and I love her. She truly goes on quite the merry go round of emotions through this book, but through it all she stays strong, steady, and determined to make sure she and those she loves will be okay.
I can’t mention strong and determined without mentioning our main man Ace, though. Omg! RVD sure has a way of creating a mafia man you can’t help but love 😂 Talk about a character with some character… sure there are some parts where he’s a bit of a jerk and says or does things he maybe shouldn’t, but who can blame him?! The guy has taken on more than many other men would and does it all out of loyalty, love, devotion, even while his own heart crumbles farther and farther apart.
Ugh, the last 20% of this book especially just takes you on a wild ride with ups and downs, all around! There were parts I caught myself actually holding my breath while reading and other parts where I held my hand on my chest to try to slow my racing heart from all the ANGST. I can honestly say I would not have been that excited about Tempest’s story before reading this one (apart from the fact that I obviously would’ve read it because I just love this mafia family too much not to), but now I will be biting at the bit for it to come out. I am so looking forward to learning more about her and finding out where this crazy train is going that was the end of this book!!
Thank you for another great story RVD!
