ARC Review: Faithless (Red Order #3) by E.S. Carter
Faith is for the foolish.
Love is for the weak.
Hope is for those with dreams.
I am faithless.
I am not weak.
I am your every nightmare.
I want. I take.
You refuse. I take.
You beg. I smile.
You weep. I laugh.
You deny.
You die.
Life is simple when you're faithless.
Until the man who rewrites the rules, and the girl who is determined to break every one of them, set their sights on me.
They want. They take.
I beg. They smile.
They deny.
Who dies?
Book #3 of 'The Red Order' series. Can be read as a standalone, but to understand the full storyline consider beginning the journey with Feyness.
Faith is but a mask. Sin is what lies beneath.

"You say I've ruined you James but one taste of you has damned me."
I love the Red Order series by E.S. Carter. I enjoy this author's dark romance novels, and was looking forward to Faithless. It started out really strong and I was very dedicated to the characters. It was unpredictable and things didn't go as I expected. I love it when the author is able to surprise and shock me. Both James and Luke are alpha males and have a dark side, Luke more than James. Luke, was able to bring out an even darker side from James that would satisfy his monster. There is another character that appears and plays an important role in this story. I am not going further into detail, you'll have to read this book to find out.
The reason I rated this 3.5 stars rather than 4 stars is because of the length of the story. It was just too short to fully tell the story of these characters. It felt rushed and it didn't completely satisfy me. It felt unfinished so it left me wanting more. I needed more character development, and the story kind of ended abruptly. There was action, sex, and suspense in this book. The writing was very easy to read and had a great flow. Even though this is the last book in the Red Order series, I hope here will be a spin-off series, because there is a character who needs its story told. Also E.S. really knows how to write a dark romance, so I am hoping more from her in this subgenre.
