Reread: October 2017 
 Let me put this gif to summarize my feelings on rereading this book: 
 Can I just hug Fredrik Gustavsson? *wailing* My goodness, his story wrecked my heart. I'm going to take a break for days then I'll proceed on Seeds of Iniquity. I think there are more clues for the seventh book than this one. 
 ------------------------------------------- 
 First read: January 2016 
 Nothing is more exciting than to hear the story of Fredrik Gustavsson -- The master torturer, The Specialist, The Jackal. I got more curious and intrigued with him on Reviving Izabel. He is attractive, compelling, and clever but also dangerous. In the series, this is by far the darkest story I've ever read. Brace yourself if you're going to read this book. 
 Like Izabel, Fredrik had an awful childhood experience that traumatized him for life. He's a heartless monster. He became more of it when his wife and the only woman who can match him, Seraphina Bragado betrayed him. They have an unfinished business and he wants to conclude it. However, he needs to find her by imprisoning Cassia Carrington. She was a kind, innocent and loving woman. She brings the lightness in him and a total opposite of the vile and cruel Seraphina. 
 The story is a total mind-fuck. What. the. heck. was. that?! It is something I totally didn't see coming. I just can't believe it. The twist left me conflicted, sad and brokenhearted. That revelation made me speechless. It is a bitter ending but I'm satisfied with it. My heart breaks for both of them. My fucking feels. I'm drained. I need a happy book right now. Once again, I'm amazed with this masterpiece.
