Poisoned Throne by Nikita | Book Review

Jan. 28, 2022

This is another one of the Twisted Tales books and has triggers so be sure to read the author's note about them.

Poisoned Throne by Nikita | Book Reviewfive-stars
Poisoned Throne by Nikita
Genres: Dark Romance, Erotic Romance

Like many little girls, I too used to dream of fairytales.
Until that illusion was shattered, and I saw firsthand just how cruel life could be.
Now I just wished my nightmare would end.

The life I knew ceased to exist as I suffered at the hands of my stepmother, who hated me.
I fought to escape and once I did, I thought life would become normal again, but that couldn’t have been further from the truth.

Tragedy was woven in my bloodstream, hiding in my DNA structure. I had a sliver of peace before it all went to hell again…

I stumbled across the men who were sent to assassinate me.
They became my tormentors until someone from my past showed up.
Instead of killing me, we made a new deal.
In exchange for helping me claim my empire back, they wanted me as payment.

I trusted them until I was betrayed.
Snow White got her happily ever after…
But me? I wondered if I’d ever get mine.

Note: Poisoned Throne is a dark reverse harem romance with some possible triggers. Please read the Author's Note at the beginning of the book before reading because there are some elements that are not suitable for some.

Triggers: Again read the Author's Note for the extra ones NOT listed here. MM within the harem, mental and physical abuse, violence and kidnapping.

Review


This is a reverse harem loose retelling of Snow White as in there are seven men in this one. That is pretty much where the similarities end. This one is dark but oh so good. Adelaide is a princess but not the woodland creature adores kind and more like the her dad’s in the mafia kind.

She has gone through some tough things in life. Her life is not the sort I would wish on anyone but I will say she was certainly a strong character. She refuses to not fight back and that is what makes this book so good. She has a plan for revenge and reclaiming her throne. A throne she will retake no matter the cost.

If dark romance is your jam then this is certainly the book for you. I will admit that I don’t always read it but this one I loved.

five-stars

About Nikita

Nikita is a full time college student who had absolutely no plans of writing a book. This Love Hurts: A Dark Romance was her first book and once Cole and Addison came into her head they wouldn’t leave and thus this story was born.
They were very adamant that their story be written. She’s excited to be on this new journey that was never anticipated but is welcomed all the same and can’t wait to see where this takes her.

In her spare time when she’s not procrastinating she likes to read or listen to music.

Mia
 
An island fling was the last thing I expected when I agreed to spend a month on a tropical island with Graham and Soraya as nanny to their sweet little boy. I was planning to relax with the family, enjoy the sun, and get a break from law school...
 
Then a shirtless, tanned Adonis runs onto our beach and into my life.
 
JT is mysterious, rugged, and his gruff exterior should have sent me running in the opposite direction. But something about the man excites me, challenges me to push past my insecurities. And though I don't see myself as a "fling" kind of girl, maybe it's just what I need to move on from my painful past. The trouble is JT has quickly imprinted himself on my soul, and saying goodbye to him is going to break me.
 
JT
 
Going back to the island, the only place I felt like myself, was a no-brainer. Not just somewhere to seek refuge from business, family, and especially women. It's a place of serenity...to clear my head and get rid of the anger of betrayal and figure out what I want to do with my life.
 
Then Mia happens, forcing her way into my heart. Like a violent storm that rushes in, wreaking havoc but ultimately ushering in a new dawn. She sees things in me I never knew existed. But our worlds are spinning in different directions, and no matter how badly I want to hang on, the force pulling us apart might just be too strong for both of us.

Life isn’t fair.

If anyone on Earth should know that, it’s Milena Semyonov.

She’s suffered blow after blow, and the hits just keep on coming.

Just when she’s sworn off being happy, that maybe being numb is the better way to navigate life, she meets him.
Cutter Carson Clayborne.

The man that finally shows her how a real man is supposed to treat her.

Just when she didn’t think life could get any worse, the man that abused her as a young, impressionable teen is back, showing her that life can, in fact, get worse.

When she’s ready to quit, Cutter is there, making sure that she knows that he’ll be there, whether she wants him there or not.

He is her husband, after all. And the unlikely pair have an understanding that they’ll stay married for two years, make a baby, and join two crime syndicates in unholy matrimony.

Cutter has other plans, though. He only agrees to the original plan to make her his.

He won’t ever give her up. What’s his stays his. And there’s not a man on the earth that’ll ever touch Milena again. Not with Cutter alive and able to take out anyone that tries.

Broody. Hot. Intoxicating.
 
Nastya Semyonov first met Haze at a bar, but for Haze Hopkins, duty calls before either can act on their desires. He’s gone without a glance back, leaving her thinking that maybe all the hot looks were only one-sided.
 
Fast forward to the next day, Nastya hitches a ride to her car that she left behind the night before, only to run into the same man from last night.
 
Neither one truly thinks before they act, and they spend a hot fifteen minutes in a fast-food restaurant bathroom before parting ways again.
 
It’s as she’s walking back to her car that she realizes how badly she’s screwed up.
 
Because her car is surrounded in police tape, and there’s one very angry man wearing a badge standing in front of it with her name on an arrest warrant for killing a man.
 
Mistakes were made. Repeatedly.
 
But Detective Haze Hopkins isn’t complaining.
 
He was ready to quit, anyway.
 
Crime pays better.

There was right, there was wrong, and then there was the in-between.
 
The place where normal people reside, understanding that there are two sides to every coin. People that do bad things for good reasons. People that do bad things for bad reasons.
 
First, I knew that Shasha Semyonov was a bad man. One that did bad things for bad reasons. That didn’t mean that I was rational when it came to him.
 
He was toxic to my health, yet I wanted him anyway.
 
They say the first step to healing is admitting when you have a problem.
 
My problem happened to be six feet two inches tall, two hundred and twenty pounds, and bearded to perfection.
 
Oh, and he was also the scariest guy I knew.
 
Meanwhile, I was the laughingstock of the city.
 
The woman who was cheated on by her boyfriend with her best friend, and it was captured live while a band played in the background, perfectly accenting the humiliating video.
 
There was no way that Shasha Semyonov would notice me.
Right?
 
Wrong.
 
I’d definitely been noticed.
