bandherbooks 's review for:
MacRieve
by Kresley Cole
So many content warnings for this book (and I wouldn't recommend reading unless you've read the others in this series). Also this review is entirely spoiler-y so stop here if you don't want to know.

Still with me? Okay! Oh, my poor Uilleam MacRieve. "Will" is a Lykae who was repeatedly raped and sexually abused by a Succubus starting before he was 1o years old. When his parents and brother found out, about five years later, both of his parents are killed by another enthralled lover of the Succubus when they go to end her life.
900 or so years later, Will and his brother Munro are living in Novia Scotia, helping to raise orphaned Lykae. They've fought bravely in the wars between the varying factions of the lore and Will may just finally be coming to terms with his past. Just. And then he's kidnapped by The Order and tortured, vivisected, and when he finally escapes he's hunted by a pack of Succubi.
So when word gets out that the daughter of the man resonsible for his capture and torture, and the torture of so many others, is up for auction, Will believes he can finally get revenge and find Webb. But Chloe is actually his fated mate. Oh boy.
Chloe has been afraid she's been changing, and now her father is missing. And oh, it seems her father is leading an entire other life, a life that has now caused her to become bait in the Lore's revenge schemes.
Thankfully a wickedly beautiful and haunted man, a Lykae, has taken her away. He claims she's his, and Chloe is starting to get into it, when she turns. Into a Succubus. During sex with Macrieve.
What follows is a battle for Macrieve's instinct and soul to come to terms with the fact his mate may be the same type of immortal as the woman he harmed him, but that doesn't make her the same person at all.
I really liked this story, but felt so terrible for Chloe. She's into Macrieve and her hurts her very badly. But I cannot be angry at Macrieve, because he is also so hurt. I think that is what kept me from adoring it as I didn't know who needed to grovel more, if anyone really should be groveling?
ALSO that ending!!! Macrieve and Chloe get their HEA, but Munro finally finds his fated mate after they are both captured by the Order, a mate who he has desperately wanted for ages. And she's human. Well, until he's forced to turn her for The Order. Against her wishes. She tells him she hates him and will for eternity. And that's the end. AHHHHH. I can't imagine how I'd feel if I didn't know Munro's book is coming this year.
