His Darkest Deceit by Addison Cain
5.0
Dude.
DUDE.
Addison Cain has done it again. I don’t know what witchcraft she uses to create these stories, but I am full-on drinking her Kool-Aid and begging for seconds. His Darkest Deceit is a dark dystopian age-gap omegaverse romance with SciFi elements and maybe a splash of dark academia (think like a military training academy). Oh, and make the main characters hybrids between humans and reptiles (albeit mostly human).
The world that Cain built in this story is different from any of her others, and the plot currently has me by the throat (yes, this ends on a cliffy)! The characters are completely on brand for a Cain novel—the heroine is a sassy, intelligent badass who’s stubborn to a fault, and the anti-hero is a full-on villain who you don’t really want to like, but you can’t help but love. Oh, and of course, he’s utterly OBSESSED with our heroine. One other plus—Cain’s heroines have friends who are also intelligent with their own goals and dreams, and none of their lives revolve around men.
God, I love Addison Cain’s books. They certainly aren’t for everyone, though, and will appeal to a very specific type of reader. Every time I read one of her stories, I’m reminded why she’s one of my favorite authors. They are a slam dunk for me every single time. 🏀
