RAPHAEL by TILLIE COLE

Raphael by Tillie Cole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Darkly Seductive and Deadly Addictive!!


Yes I am totally addicted to Tillie Cole’s new Deadly Virtues series. Words cannot express how much I am in love with these beautifully damaged, deeply disturbed “Fallen”. Tillie Cole writes the broken souls so well. Her ability to extract so many different feels and emotions from her readers is a true talent. This book is a shock inducing page turner that will keep you in suspense right until the last page. If you have read Tillie before then you know the score. Although I think this book is her darkest to date. It should certainly come with a health warning. When you read this book you will probably need rehab for the book hangover that it leaves you with.


Raphael, our beautiful resident lust killer. With the face of an Angel, Raphael has no problem luring his victims into his web of seduction. For Raphael, sex and death go hand in hand so you can guess how he likes to kill! His M.O, is strangulation. To feel the euphoria as he is draining life from his victims with his bare hands is his addiction, he craves the hit like a junkie. But there are rules to “The Fallen’s” existence in the outside world, and Raphael and his brothers must keep their dark desires under control.


On Raphael’s latest “Revelation” mission he is distracted by a vision. A beauty that has stepped right out of his dreams, his ultimate fantasy come to life. Now nothing else matters but making her “his” and fulfilling a lifelong dream to keep her by his side forever. Maria has no idea what is about to happen to her life. Her sheltered existence is about to be blown apart by a nuclear collision. She is just a susceptible to Raphael’s beauty as any other woman but as their eyes connect something deeper pulls them together. But secrets are poison to the soul and what Maria is hiding could very well get her killed.


Ok I am going to stop talking because I really want to spoil the story for anybody. It should be a case of WHEN not IF you read this book.


“One dweller of dark, one dweller of light, brought together to collide? To share the burdens of their pasts…..to heal?”


This line just sums up the entire book perfectly. I am super excited to find out whose book will be next in the series. I would say I am patiently waiting but that is a total and complete lie because I am utterly impatient to get my hands on the next book.
