”What if it all went wrong so you could find what’s been waiting for you?”

Here I sit days after reading, unable to read another book as this story STRUCK ME SO HARD!!! Hours and days after reading, just thinking of this story leaves tears that stay etched in my eyes. I am still STUNNED SPEECHLESS from Nightshade by Molly McAdams, a STUNNING STORY that stole, stripped, and shattered both my heart and soul. Captivating … chaotic … dark … dangerous … and devastatingly beautiful, Nightshade is the PERFECT STORM … MY perfect storm.

Happiness. That word would never touch my life again. Happiness wasn’t meant for girls like me.

Nightshade GRIPPED ME immediately, chasing my heart and soul like a fierce fire where I fell to the flames. This firestorm of feels was a fight I would not—did not—want to win. Nightshade both lit me up with life while casting my soul into the dark. Every breath matched every breathtakingly beautiful word. Light to light. Dark to dark. Beauty to beauty. Feel to feel. I FELT NIGHTSHADE EVERYWHERE.

One page and I was ENSNARED in the trap called Nightshade.
One page and I BROKE for the heroine.
One page and I knew Nightshade would break me … and that it did!

I wasn’t scared for my life. I was scared for my soul.

From the moment I met the intensely dark knight, Kieran, in Firefly, the story that precedes Nightshade, I LOVED HIM. Long blond hair. Piercing green eyes. Tall and muscular. Fierce. Deadly. A man who would lay down his life for those he loves. A man battling darkness but is still a dark hero. Kieran, AKA, Nightshade, is the ULTIMATE HERO—-my Robin Hood! Kieran is PERFECTION!!!

He was terrifying. And he was beautiful.

Nightshade has met his match in Jessica. Beautiful. Broken. Bold. Brave. Jessica is as evasive and lethal as Kieran.

”Chaos. Everything you make me feel. Everything you are. Chaos.”

Chaos and calm collide and what an EXPLOSION Nightshade is … a heart-pounding HIGH!!!
The banter spiked with hate and heat…
The angst that burned like a constant flame…
The chemistry that could not be stopped…
Just so INCREDIBLY INTENSE…just so EVERYTHING!!!

”I hate that I want you.”

Jessica has led a life of hell and no man will ever control her. No man until Kieran…

”Because I’ve never wanted to give up control as much as I do with you.”

These sweet and soulful words MELTED ME!!! Kieran and Jessica were EXPLOSIVE together … a union of fire and ice. Their chemistry was on FIRE!!! I felt their POWERFUL PULL pull me.

There was something inside her that called to me.

The INTENSITY?!? I felt it EVERYWHERE!!! Nightshade had me on EDGE, my heart not beating but THRASHING out of my chest!!! Twisted. Tortuous. Tender. Tough. These words sliced through me like a knife, cutting me open. This story SHATTERED ME into many pieces. Each piece of this poignant tale took and was a part of me. My heart bled and beat for this book, a book that BROKE ME IN THE BEST WAY!!!

”What if I was made for you and you were made for me?”

When you begin and end a story in TEARS, one so full of PASSION, PROMISE, and POIGNANCY, where every FEEL IS FELT, that story is one that you’ll FEEL FOREVER!!! I SURRENDERED my body, breath, heart, soul, and every emotion to Nightshade. I was so LOST in this story that I didn’t want to be found. Fire and ice. Dark and light. Love and loss. Holy RUSH!!! Nightshade is the BEST EMOTIONAL CHAOS!!! This soul-shattering story is one not only read but FELT long after the last page.

My life has never been my own. From the time I could walk, I was trained to be the mob’s hardened assassin. To be a monster. I’ve been told what to do, when to kill, and who to love. The minute I strayed, I lost everything.

Then I met Jessica.

She swept into my life like a storm of heartache, seduction, and intrigue. She’s everything I hate, but with one look, I can’t stay away. With one touch, she ignites a craving unlike anything I’ve ever known.

But her secrets threaten to destroy everything closest to me. Including her…

Together we’re poison. A destructive combination of darkness and chaos. And I want to savor every drop in my veins.
