„Heart Thief” by Ker Dukey
BLURB
Monsters come in many forms.
Some want shiny new toys to play with—others want blood.
Mona Walters dreams of adventure, of a world beyond the shoreline she’s confined to. She yearns for vibrancy in her dull, mundane existence, but succumbs to the bleakness.
Until the necklace her sister wore the night she was brutally murdered shows up on her door wrapped in a neat bow, fueling her to run away and seek out the person responsible for stealing her sister’s life.
Mona wished for more—for color in her gray world.
What she didn’t realize was just how much more she would get.
And that the world outside her own was soaked in red—blood red.
The world she dreamed of is made of nightmares.
A rich, influential world of two brothers—and once they have her in their sights, they plan to keep her there.
Her father kept her secluded for a reason.
Be careful what you wish for.
There's a thief out there, and he's coming for Mona's heart.
MY OPINION
„Heart Thief” is my second book which I've read in Sinister Fairy Tales Collection.
Ker Dukey is one of my favourite author, so when I saw that she will write a book in this series I knew that I must read it. Immediately!
Mona Walters is in a golden cage. Her father is a leader of cult. Mona doesn't want to be in this family. She wants to be free, explore the outside world and meet new people and the most important thing she wants to find the truths about her sister. One day she run from her parents, from her home to a new life, new world.
I have a really big problem to guess, which tale it is. But finally I connected all informations and now I can write it - „Heart Thief” is a new version of „Moana”. Darker, better and totally perfect!
„Heart Thief” is a really mysterious story. I think that You will be interested in this book from the first chapter. Ker Dukey in her best version of writing. Highly recommend.
