Blurb

Fix Marcosa is at war.

The battlefield: New York City.

He knows every street like the back of his hand. The darkened alleyways and back streets conceal secrets only he knows.

Somewhere out there, an unknown element is threatening the life of the woman he loves.

Fix doesn’t mind shedding a little blood to get protect those close to him, though.

He doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty.

And when he goes to war…he sure as hell doesn’t lose.

 

Sera Lafferty knows what it’s like to run.

She’s been running her whole damn life.

With death now looming over her, it seems as though she must run again if she wants to survive.

The dark, storm-kissed stranger she met in a motel room offers another solution, however.

Fix is a challenge. An enigma. A savage force of nature. He will be her shield against the coming darkness, if only she will let him.

But can she trust the tortured ex-priest to keep her safe?

Should she run from New York as fast as possible?

Or should she stand and fight?

 

Freaks is the final instalment of the Dirty Nasty Freaks series.

Prepare for blood.

Prepare for betrayal.

Prepare for war.

 


Review

“We were more than just Fix and Sera, now. We were far more than that, unbreakable and indestructible, and heaven help anyone who tried to fuck with us.”

4 badass stars!

The final in Callie Hart’s Dirty Nasty Freaks trilogy brings an exciting, surprising and satisfying finish to Fix and Sera’s story as they continue their hunt for the person responsible for the threat on Sera’s life, and they figure out exactly what they are to each other and what that means for their future. As I expected (and was hoping) this book is a fantastic mix of violence and romantic intensity with a light edge to keep it from becoming too dark, and enough raw grit to keep me completely hooked. I loved it!

This book picks up immediately where the last one left off, and I was in a world of excited anticipation as that particular storyline played out!

Spoiler only if you haven’t read the previous books in the series…

He was huge, and he was clearly a highly-trained fighter. But Oscar was forgetting one thing: I was huge, too. I was highly trained. All he’d done was set two meteors hurtling toward each other, sending them on a collision course, and the impact when Zeth and I finally clashed was going to leave a crater in the middle of New York City, a mile wide and a mile deep.

Squeee!!! Callie brought a really great twist into the story which was a fun treat carried throughout the book with even alternate POV scenes which I loved.

But this is Fix and Sera’s story and they have become a powerhouse couple! They’ve been through so much, and this book sees the final big step for them as Sera is brought fully into Fix’s world. Fix has no more secrets from her, with the terrifying reality of all that is him now wide open and exposed, and he lays it all on the line for the woman he has come to love.

“Better men would pretend. They’d make sure you were safe, and they would leave you the fuck alone. I’m the very worst kind of creature, the fucking worst, because I can’t do that. I can’t fucking let you go. I’m in love with you, Angel. And it will be the death of us both.”

And Sera is more than up to the challenge as she lays it all out for him as well – opening up and sharing her horrific past and trusting her dangerous man with everything.

“I’ll love you as fiercely as the sun fucking burns, and you’ll have to fucking like it, because you did this, Felix. You made me love you just as much as you love me, and it’s never going to go away now. I’m never going to go away. This is it.”

It’s a fantastic love story that is equal parts emotion and intense sexual chemistry, and I freaking loved them together!

“Nothing will ever be simple after you, Sera … I’m unwilling to even think about what my life would look like if you decided to turn around and walk away from me.”

Felix ‘Fix’ Marcosa is the kind of badass antihero that Callie Hart writes so well. He is violent and angry, arrogant, slightly sexually deviant and a coldly ruthless killer, but my God, there is something about this man that is absolutely irresistible.

He had the face of an angel, the body of a god, and a mouth that could make the devil blush.

And seeing him in love and embracing all that comes with that is so gorgeous! Of course he’s sexy as all hell, he’s also protective and possessive and as he sets out to protect and defend his girl, there is no limit to the lengths he is willing to go to in order to ensure her safety. And Sera is right there with him every stop of the way, proving that she is just as badass as her man.

I’d had to fight for everything in my life, and I didn’t regret that for a moment. The fight had shown me how strong I was. It had shown me the true value of happiness, and it had shown me the lengths I was willing to go to in order to protect it.

It’s exciting with a touch of suspense and some surprises as the story twists and turns to its highly satisfying ending. It’s a great finish to the trilogy, and another fantastically dark-yet-entertaining story with great characters and a gorgeous, sexy romance.

I loved it – 4 stars.
