Dante's Infernal, Book 4

Saint

I screwed up. Big time.

I broke the heart of my best friend. The one person I promised myself I'd never hurt.

Now he's back after two years, and I hardly recognize him. Danny - sorry, Daniel - is nothing like the scarred, broken kid who left in the middle of the night without saying good-bye. Because of me. Those brown eyes that were once so full of warmth and adoration have turned cold as ice, but the fire he stirs in me is hotter than the place I deserve to be after what I did. When I lock eyes with him just before he goes onstage with my ex's band, I realize why he came back.

He wants to ruin me. And you know what? I just might let him.

Daniel

Fate took almost everything from me, but at least I still had my brother, and Saint, my best friend and hopeless crush. When I found Saint with my brother, the one man who was off-limits, I lost both of them, too. But fate wasn't finished with me. I had to go through literally losing my brother. Then, I gained a spine, scars, and 50 pounds of muscle.

The fragile, pathetic kid I used to be is dead and gone. I love the way Saint's jaw drops when he sees me, like I'm a ghost from his past. A ghost who's going to make him pay for all his sins. First, I'll take the man who broke his heart before he sold the shattered pieces to the devil. Then I'll take those, too, because I'm not the lovesick fool I was back then. As far as he's concerned, I am the devil, and I won't stop until I possess all of him - his filthy soul included. The only problem is mine still belongs to him.

Saving Saint is a high-heat friends-to-enemies-to-lovers romance between a brooding guitarist and a cinnamon-roll keyboardist turned badass hell-bent on revenge. It features a rocky road to the HEA.

It’s a fun listen

I’ve gone through the whole series In the last few days. This is probably my favorite

To mean

I liked the series very much, but this book had me feeling not so good. I have no problem with kinks… but here it’s mostly done in a very mean and hateful way. I didn’t like that.

❤️🖤

I loved him, then I was pissed at him, then I hated him, but in the end I loved him again. Danny had a journey. I've loved Saint since he first appeared.
I'm super sad this was the last one. Fingers crossed🤞there will be more.

Absolutely Loved It!

This book was amazing and so tragic! I cried through certain parts of the story. It is written so well and of course, the narrators picked for each book of this series have made the characters come alive. I have been hooked since the 1st book through to this one. I'm hoping there's more to come.

is it bad I kinda hated the mc?

So honestly I’m not a big fan of post-trauma danny. He had to process a lot and of course living through what he survived is something no one should have to endure, but the rage at saint that year and a half later just seemed really quite disproportionate.

I mean (some mild spoilers fyi) him joining the competition’s band and trying to rub that in saint’s face - that I can totally get. But the persistent torturing, emotional or otherwise, unceasingly with no semblance of guilt or wondering if he was doing the right thing, I just couldn’t quite get it. And realistically, given how much effort it would have taken Danny to maintain that level of façade, I was surprised there was no internal self doubt or second guessing his actions. I mean even the literal two or three times he seemed a bit reticent, he immediately brushed it off with some random rationalization.

I don’t think Danny had any real gauge on how much damage he was causing. Saint seemed like he was on the cusp of offing himself, I was honestly worried it would get to a SA from Saint’s part for maybe Danny to wake up. Thank glob it didn’t get that far, but seriously.

(spoilers galore from here on) Also it ended with an “if we had had literally one conversation 18 months ago, none of this would have happened” type of trope. It works sometimes, especially when at least one of the characters has some seriously repressed feelings, but saint went from thinking he was about to lose danny forever and wonder ‘what’s the point’ to them basically becoming BFs in like maybe 5 mins.

Don’t get me wrong - happy ending was due for them both in spades and in triplicate. just the overreaction and compulsory abuse coming from danny seemed like a lot of overreach. I don’t know. But it’s dark romance, so I know the point isn’t to perfectly like the MCs. But anyways

Decent read in all - still recommend despite couple gripes

This is the best one

This was a Rollercoaster ride. The kink was more tame in this one. Narration was great but in my heart, Thor Thom will aways be Shane Hollander to me. lol.

Story line

I loved the story line the way it all pulled together at the end was amazing I loved this book.
