The Mastermind by Nadia Han
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The saying goes: Opposites attract, but how truly different are two people who both are scared from past traumas?
You live in the light while I live in the darkness…
Remi along with his group of friends witnessed a deed most foul, a murder. Yet it is with a stranger’s advice that the boys live to remember this life altering moment. A fear embedded into his soul that makes him the cold heart breaking man that he is now. He is her brother’s best friend.
Audri was only eight when her world was torn to pieces when a fire killed her father and pet cat Mochi. She dropped the candle before the flames engulfed the house. It is a guilt she carries to this day that she killed them. She is his best friend’s little sister.
Times are changing as Remi buys the company Audri works for. A chance encounter that has stirred up forbidden feelings between the pair. He cannot get her out of his head nor can he let anyone else have her. She sees a man of mystery with light beneath a carefully worn mask and she wants to explore his depths. Together they struggle to find each other, but will the past come back to destroy their happy ending?
The development of characters in this book will draw you in and let you feel the emotions with them. The desire they have for one another, the tension building between them, and the suspense of their story. It gives you no choice but to want to keep reading to see what will happen next. Will they finally let each other in? Will they ever get past the friend zone? What dark secrets lie in their past? Will they get a happy ending?
