I absolutely adored this story! It was emotional, heartbreaking, and I could not possibly imagine what Luka and Naal had to go through in their young lives. It shattered me completely.

In Raze, we meet Luka, otherwise known as 818. He was taken to a gulag in Alaska for crimes he didn't commit when he was just a teenager. Trained to fight, and fight to kill, that's all he knows. It's when he's able to break out years later, that his life takes a turn.

His friends and family think him dead, but little do they know, he's been lurking in the streets, and training for revenge on the people who put him away so many years ago. He's back and ready to Raze hell in order to get to his family, and the girl he left behind.

Reap tells a vastly different story, but one that is still linked to the beloved Luka and dark days in a fighting ring. Naal is the son and heir of the Georgian Mafia, also a fighter, and a trained, drugged killer. Taken from his family when he was just eight years old, he became the prototype for a slew of experimental drugs given to him by his Master. His memories are gone as are his emotions. He's simply a killing machine.

Luka, who had been in the gulag with Naal's brother is on a mission to rescue him from the only life he can remember. Although their families are mortal enemies, the brotherhood of survival in the death ring are stronger. Luka refuses to let Naal be forgotten.

When Naal is freed and detoxing from the black market drugs in his system, he meets Luka's sister, and his life takes a turn from anything he's ever been familiar with in the last twenty years.

These were tales of survival, strength, war, determination, and love. These men might be trained killers, but their courage come from the women who stand by their sides for better or worse.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe there is a third book coming in this series. Needless to say, I can NOT wait!
