“I will be whatever you want me to be, Rea. Whatever you ask for. But whatever I am, I will be only for you, for no one else. And whatever I am for others, I will never be for you.” - Danaos

Rea’s life has been chaos lately. Entangled in a series of misfortunes, she tries to get back on her feet when, like a deus ex machina, Danaos appears in her path.
Handsome, charming, and utterly lovable, he introduces himself as her savior, taking on the form of an angel in her mind and heart.
But what kind of wings do angels wear? White or black?
And if they wear white, why does this angel paint his with darkness?

Girlfriend, you’re here again hoping to find another romance book recommendation, but I’m sorry, I’m going to clip your wings.
Haven’t you realized yet that wherever Mary Sgourou is, chaos follows?
She spreads her veil of mystery everywhere and unfolds her characters like pieces of baby lettuce ready to be chopped on a cutting board!!!
Are you still here?

Well, since you stayed, listen:
This is not the story of Rea and Danaos, but the story of a man who never left love, even when it seemed to drain all 21 grams of his soul.

You will experience pain in this book, no joke!
You’ll laugh (a little—don’t get carried away), you’ll fall in love, you’ll have a good time, but the aftermath will be devastating.
You’ll always remember this book, because a part of it will destroy you and another part will redeem you.
You’ll feel the injustice in your bones and curse many times, you’ll tense up just as often until it finds you and breaks you, destroys you piece by piece and rebuilds you from scratch, because only that’s what you deserve after what you’ll read.

The book is divided into three parts, each part complements the other, and together they create a puzzle that, when the pieces come together, your brain will explode! Call it a plot twist, call it incredible imagination, call it whatever you want—I don’t care… The sure thing is you’ll be shaken, I guarantee it!!!!!!

WARNING
This book comes with warnings and is not suitable for minors, both because of the intense spicy scenes and its heavy content.

I recommend it to those who want and have surplus brain cells and soul reserves to burn.
If you feel you lack brain cells and are looking for a light and superficial read, stay away from Danaos, because you won’t understand his soul and he doesn’t deserve that!

First, let me clarify something so you don’t have false dreams and hopes:
DANAOS IS NOT SWEET!!!
He’s a rogue with a golden heart who’ll throw you to the clouds as easily as he’ll flatten you on the roughest floor so you can lick your wounds one by one!
The darkness he carries on his shoulders is known only to him and his soul, and no matter how hard you try to understand it, a part of it will always be unfathomable—and that’s the part that will leave you empty after you finish the book.
He’s utterly lovable with a fiery mouth and lines that make history!!!
Every sentence of his will be printed in your mind and etched in your heart when the puzzle is complete.
He’s allegorical and lyrical, a dark prince who will shake you with his story and his experiences that strike a nerve.

This character MARKED me!!!!
He took my soul, wrapped it in a bundle of fabric and shredded it like a discarded rag on a market stall!
I can't, I can't stand it and I don't want to, I think about him every day since I finished the book and I don't know for how much longer….
I love him, I desire him and I look up to him, because if there is one thing you take away from this story when you close the book, it is the greatness of his soul that will leave you wondering… what kind of soul will you deliver, girl?

And about Rea, this amazing woman, I have to say that she walks a fine line that will lead you either to love her or to hate her. With her own experiences weighing on her shoulders, she unfolds a character who is a model for every woman out there, even though she is often swept away by the force of her emotions.
She won me over. I loved her, admired her and understood her, her and all her actions, even if my conscience sometimes went against her.

Different but beloved book. I loved it deeply. Heart-wrenching in many parts and with a protagonist who remains indelible. Mary Sgourou "painted" again.
