Viktor
by Clarissa Wild
My Review
I picked up the book the overview said was “Inspired by a
fairytale”. I have found the redo of fairytales are not my cup of tea. I
promised to read, review and give my honest opinion so I pick it up never
wanting to put it back down. From the first page I thought this isn’t like any
fairytale I have read. The author might have got a very few things from one but
this will blow your mind from the injustice of the innocent to the controlling of
a business.
After so many people made fun of him Viktor he turned to the
dark hiding away. When he does come out he always wears a mask. Many nights he
made a call for a lady of the night to come dance for him. He has never had the
same one twice. One night, one call with change his life he will never be the
same. One look, one act, and he is hooked like he never was before. She was
told do not look him in the face. What she saw was the outline of a man setting
in a chair in the dark. She is pulled to him not knowing why but when she is
done with her dance and he with his deed she walks to the door only to look him
in the eyes. Viktor cannot turn away as he grabs her arm and hold her in place
she looks him straight in the eyes and is not afraid. How can she not see the
monster in him, he turns and walks away never to forget her. Least did he know
within a few days she would be back in his life and he isn’t letting her go
this time.
This was a very fast pace thriller full of bad men, innocent
people, kidnapping and the list goes on. I really can’t tell you more than that
or it would give the story away. Just when you think you have a handle on what
is going on the story changes throwing you in a twist you never saw coming. The
ending is a true shocked one part I had a feeling of, the next one blow my mind
at what evil people we have in the world and the things they are willing to do
to make money.
I loved the characters they really are normal more of a lower
class I would say. Each just trying to make it by day by day hoping for a
better way of life. Yes Viktor in a lot of ways is evil, is a monster but he truly
has a heart of gold. He just has a short fuse that makes him lose control
breaking things etc. Alexis doesn’t remember too much of her past life. She
remember a nice man, someone telling her to run after that she spends all her
time trying to feed her sister. She never wanted to sale her body. There is a
fine line between what you will do to protect those you love and what you won’t.
I really liked both of these characters. When their story comes out your heart
will go out to them wishing you could have been there to make it all better.
This is a very well written story with an outstanding plot.
You can tell this author took her time working out each step that each person
would take. What she ends up with is a wonderful entertaining thriller,
mystery, that is action packed with too many people hiding things that you won’t
see until the end. You are going to have to look very close to pick up any
clues. This is one story you will have trouble putting down and most likely
will stay up late at night. You will be hooked for the first page until the
last. If you are looking for a story like you have not seen from this author
before you should pick this up. I promise you there will be more than one place
that will blow your mind in this thrilling read.
