We've all heard the tales of good and bad, the tales of innocent deceit and her hero, the tales that despite their nature, show us the beauty in contrast. But it's the tales of pure evil that get swept under the rug. The tales of deception, where cruelty is rewarded. The tales that have you questioning who the real villain of the story is. There's a simple philosophy to most thing in life; two wrongs 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 make a right. So what ensues when you put two of the worst kinds of people together? Loyalties transfer, lines blur, and hatred ignites complete chaos. She's cunning. 𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴. She's dangerous. 𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴. She's evil. 𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘦. Or so that's what we're told. The devil is always worse. But maybe, just maybe, she's the devil in disguise, playing his advocate... . . . . . . . . . . - 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 - 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬 - 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞. - 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐛𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧. - 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞.

The last thing Kaz saw before he blacked out was a large burly man standing over him. ~ That was how she knew he was the only one that she would ever have a place for in her heart. To put it into other words, he was the only one she would ever love. His flaws made him perfect. From his cold-hearted, ruthless nature to his introverted self. From his haphephobia to his limp in his right leg. She loved every part of him. And these so-called imperfections in the eyes of others made him Kaz, the Bastard of the Barrel, Dirtyhands, the man she had given her heart to. ~ It's been a week since Kuwei's auction, since Matthias died, since Kaz brought Inej's parents to Ketterdam. To no one's surprise, her parents have stayed and Inej has been spending as much time as possible with them. However there's one small problem for Kaz : Inej has asked him to come to the hotel to meet her parents. With no idea how they'd react to such a person that Inej has been working with, Kaz can't control or stop the rollercoaster of emotions he feels, as much as he wants to. ~ ALL RIGHTS go to Leigh Bardugo for creating such awesome,complex characters and an amazing series. ~ Best Rankings: - #961 youngadult - #188 ya - #8 yaromance

'What do you want?' He asked huskily as he moved towards her slowly, giving her time to escape and walk away if she wanted. But she didn't want to walk away. The tension in the air was so palpable Inej felt suffocated. Kaz gazed down at her and placed his hand against the wall, inches away from Inej's head. 'What do you want, Inej?' he repeated softly. She looked up at him, unable to look away from his piercing gaze even though the intensity of it all had her internally screaming. Her heart was racing and she felt a rush of pleasure and desire soar in her very veins, drunken in the knowledge that Kaz did desire her, despite his often contradictory actions. But she knew what she wanted. She has known, ever since the moment she realised she had fallen for Kaz Brekker, bastard of the Barrel. 'I want to touch you.' ... In which Kaz Brekker and Inej Ghafa attempt to overcome their trauma. I do not own any of the pictures 😊 All characters belong to the amazing Leigh Bardugo, save for a couple.
