Deadly Game by Christine FeehanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was definitely more darker than the previous books and it was very emotional. There was the occurrence of much darker themes and subject matters in this book. Both Ken and Mari have lived through and survived hell from their pasts and that's one of the reasons why they are so perfect for each other. They are both fierce and lethal soldiers, and they are fighters and survivors.
They may not underestimate themselves when in the battle field or when in danger of losing their lives, but they underestimate themselves as they believe they are incapable of having a relationship.
I enjoyed Mari as a heroine. She may be tough and a total badsass, and completely capable of taking care of herself, she also has a softer side that we got to see when she was with Ken. I previously read a review of this book that stated that the reader didn't believe that Mari felt the same way that Ken felt for intensely for her. And I understand where that reader is coming from but then again, when you look at what Mari has been through. Confinement, abuse in a range of ways, her complete lack of freedom... I can understand why she battled whether she should join her sisters or fully commit to Ken and his need to execute his dominance.
I loved Ken. I love his intensity, his passion, even his need to be protective and possessive. He definitely needed someone like Mari who would not only take away some of his darkness and loneliness, but also challenge him and won't just take his shit and let him walk all over her.
There were so many loose ties in this book which will set up and create more drama and conflict for the next books in the series. I can't wait to read the next book!
