Amie's Review of El Santo by M. Robinson


EL SANTO BLOG TOUR
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.














REVIEW
Amie's 4 star review

WOW - this book was crazy and I cannot wait to read on. I admit this is long overdue - I took a blog break and had some down time. I am now playing catch up and thankful I did. This author is always great and I have enjoyed the other books of hers I have read. I don't even know how to break this down without spoilers BUT here goes...

Damien's life is not one any of us would want for our sons , husbands , friends or anyone really. He has been groomed for war and made to be heartless. Raised by his father , ditched by his mom and ruined by Emilio. Damien had no chance at a normal life but you can't help but love him and want to help him do good. The opening scene , the terror , the horror and violence. It is cringy and hard to read but you do see a spark of Damien TRYING to be a good person. In the end it doesn't matter because the stress of his choices never lets him enjoy the love he could have. I am curious to see what goes on next in the series because the way this ended was NOT FAIR !! 

I will make a tiny note that if age is something that bothers you when reading about relationships this may be a red flag. There is an awkward age difference and the relationship is awkward as well. BUT if you understand where Amira and Damien are coming from you may be able to get past that.
