El Santo by M. Robinson…Release Day Blitz & Review

EL SANTO IS LIVE & FREE ON KINDLE UNLIMITED!

FROM USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR M. ROBINSON

I didn’t know darkness and evil lurked inside me until I had to murder in order to survive. Forced to become my own worst enemy. With so much blood on my hands, I was surprised I could still see my own skin.

I killed.

I tortured.

I loved…

I played God while I was rotting in Hell. Thriving on control and power was the only way I knew how to live. There were no other options.

If you weren’t my friend, you were my foe.

If you weren’t with me, you were against me.

Traitors, as I called them. There were no imaginary lines. I’d crossed them all. No boundaries. No second chances. No redemption.

Not for me.

For them.

For anyone.

Only for her…

She loved me. Always convinced I was a saint, never believing I was just another sinner.

A fucking monster.

Until it was too late.

Except, I didn’t choose this life.

It. Chose. Me.

I’m going to tell you a story.

It’s dark.

It’s brutal.

It’s fucking real.

In order to understand my present, who I am, and what I’ve
become…

You need to understand my past.

Evil doesn’t always hide in the shadows, in the darkness.
Most of the time, it’s out in the open, in plain fucking sight. Possessing the
man you’d least expect. You see, I never imagined another life until I made one
for myself. By that time, I was too far-gone, engulfed in nothing but pitch
black darkness. Exactly the way it was meant to be.

No one could touch me.

No one fucked with me.

I. Was. Invincible.

Nothing more…

Nothing less.

When I dreamed of true love—of soul mates, my other half, of
her—the cruelty of my life would snap me back into my reality, making it just
that, a dream. One that could easily turn into a nightmare.

My worst fucking nightmare.

Every memory, the good, the bad, the in between. All the I
love yous, every last I fucking hate you, her heart and soul that I’d broken,
shattered and destroyed along the years belonged to me.

Her pleasure.

Her pain.

It was all a part of me, carved so fucking deep into my skin
where she would forever be engraved. My story is going to make you fucking hate
me as much as she does, but I want you to.

I’m not looking for redemption.

I’m not looking for your forgiveness.

I don’t deserve yours like I don’t deserve hers.

I’m far from the hero in this story.

I’m closer to the villain.

You will think of me as the villain.

Except, I’m far worse.

I’m the fucking monster.

And, I’m perfectly alright with that.

I dare you to try to love me…

Like she did and probably still does.

Don’t say, I didn’t warn you.

OMG!!! Monica – what you are doing to me?!?! WHY?!?! That ending has crushed me!!

“I’ve told you from the beginning of my story that I was noting but a fucking monster. At least now, you can’t call me a liar….”

So yea, as you can tell, this book ends in one hell of a cliffy. And the saving grace is that we do not have to wait long for the second book. And I for one, am extremely grateful that Monica didn’t try to wrap up their story in a few more chapters to rush everything and give us one book. Yes, I hate my having my heart ripped from chest and watching it sit on my bookshelf beating away til January, when I can possibly put it back in. But I am more than happy that Monica is sticking to her guns and giving us the complete and full story that Amira and Damien deserve and not this rush, hurry up shit that puts everything together in this happy package in a few short chapters.

Ok – onto this book. I am truly not sure what to say that won’t give anything away. Monica is one author I know that I can depend on to deliver, the suspense, angst and hotness all wrapped into one amazing story. I went into this story blind, as I have with every single one of Monica’s books since her first book. You do not read any of her previous books to read this one.

El Santo is about Amira and Damien’s past and how they came to know one another. There is nothing pretty about the environment they grow up in. Damien was raised to be a soldier. Early on he knew what his life would like; he just never realized how revered and feared he would he become to everyone. Amira was the one person who never feared him. She saw the darkest part of him but knew behind that darkness was someone who just as much of a pawn as she was.

“One day soon, I won’t be the man who saved her. I’ll just be another fucking monster that haunts her dreams.”

Monica weaves a very emotional story into this suspenseful plot. My adrenaline was pumping the whole time I read this book; my emotions on high waiting for the next twist or turn to take place. This book delivers the ugly, raw and heartbreaking truth of Amira and Damien’s fated relationship. And damn, if it wasn’t worth every emotional second.
