☆✮ My Review ✮☆
☆ I received an ARC via LBTS PR in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!! ☆
Definitely an out of the box read. My Black Hole Heart lived up to its dark, no hold barred, gritty nature, and was pretty brutal and alarming-- the way the characters talked about the need for blood spillage, murder, rape, and other ruthless themes.
I should warn you readers that this book is not for everyone. The first paragraph alone, I kept asking myself, “what did I get myself into?” and as things progressed, it kept diving into unseen twists and turns I did not see coming.
Then again, if you’re already familiar with this series, to which I am not, this should probably be nothing new to you. For me, going into this blind, and not being aware that this is the third book in the Colour Series, I couldn’t help but feel that I was missing something or maybe some concepts and info from the previous two books. I mean, you can indeed read this alone and be completely fine, but I really adhere against it. ReadColour My Ugly and Monochrome My Madness first. I think you’ll get the full experience, whereas, I felt I got halve of it.
That’s not saying that I felt it took away from my enjoyment of MBHH. It didn’t. I would say to those reading this, to prepare themselves. It’s certainly a controversial read with an anti-heroine who’s literally a blank slate of emotion and is a cold blooded assassin draped in sheep’s clothing. For reals. She’s as beautiful as she is deadly. Kind of reminded me of a black widow. Haha.
I won’t divulge anything about the plot or characters, but, in the realm where crime is golden, lies and deceit are a must, and love and passion mean sudden death… One woman holds the key to the fate and destruction of a family legacy comprised in blood, chaos, and savagery.
Brace yourselves, ladies and gents!!

☆✮ Excerpt ✮☆
I am a killer. I have been since I was fifteen. My young girl hands curled around the handle of a knife as I filleted a man, his screams are etched into my mind forever. Sticky blood coated my fingers with every slice I made through his flesh. I knew long before that what life had in wait for me, so I never tried to change it. I was born a killer. I didn't choose it, it chose me. I have a black hole heart that beats nothing but the blood of others.
The saying goes - it takes a village to raise a child. My village was not pretty, they are dark dangerous and deadly. My father Rowan is an assassin. My mother was a murderer too. Both were born from murderous fathers. The other people in the village that raised me are just as bad. Callum, my uncle of sorts, is the kingpin of a criminal empire. He sells drugs, diamonds, weapons, people and death. There are others, none of them are anything other than evil. I am the heir to my father's murder mill, to Callum's empire and to this black hole heart that is filled with emptiness. My village is fucked up.
As a result, so am I. Nurture versus nature. My nature is screaming out for something else. I was nurtured to be a killing machine, the queen of a villainous empire and a ghost without a heart. I was nurtured into a beautiful monster, the Hummingbird. Now there's a fracture in my nature and I don't know what to do with it. I'm feeling things I have no right to feel.
