Vanquished by LeTeisha Newton

If I should die before I wake,...

Then my soul is Caesar's to take. He pulls up down, he lifts me up.

And then he leaves me in the muck.

If should fall before I fly...

Then they know it was the fault of mine. He taught me better, he led the way.

I just didn't know how to stay.

And if I should not gain his heart...

Fuck that, he made me this way. Curled my thoughts and twisted me. 

He belongs to me, foreve

Vanquished by LeTeisha Newton

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I'm literally struggling with how to rate this book. Net because it was bad- quite on the contrary; it was one of those books that was fascinating and pushed a little more of my, what I originally thought were, dead set boundaries and what I wouldn' t find interesting in books. Vanquished wasn't my first book by Leteisha Newton, but it was nothing like the previous ones I had read, nor do I think it will be my last from her.

While I do struggle with my rating, I'm not when it comes to making an opinion of it. Honestly, Bravo to this author for writing a mafia type novel that is dark enough to make my breath catch in my throat. For writing a story that shows you exactly what the human person will go through to not only survive, but protect themselves. She also goes so far as to prove just how much a person will sacrifice for love- and it is not always pretty. While lingering - book a 5 star rating, mostly because I'm some sort of crazy, I'M also aware that this won't be for everyone. Triggers? There are plenty and it was all sorts of wrong in my own good way, making me more than little excited for Leteisha Newton's next release.
