Eulogy by Rachel Van Dyken 

Publication Date: February 20^th, 2018 

Genre: Contemporary Romance

All is lost.

All. I don't recognize myself in the mirror anymore. My thoughts are filled with hatred and dripping with rage. I've lost my soul. She took it to the depths of Hell with her and haunts me with images of what could have been. Sixty lives are mine to take. Sixty lives stand in the way of my vengeance. Sixty lives plus one more. Mine. When the last drop of blood falls — mine will be spilled. Only one person stands in the way. She doesn't realize I'll kill her too. I don't own a heart. And even if I did — I wouldn't fall prey to its lies again. I am Chase Abandonato. Heir to a legacy of betrayal. And I will kill them all. Even if it means pointing the gun at myself. A life for a life. A soul for a soul.

Now I lay me down to sleep… I pray the Lord my soul to keep. Blood in. No out.

MY REVIEW FOR EULOGY:

Who knows how to write mafia romance? RVD. Who knows how to break your heart while writing said romance? RVD. Who knows how to piece that shattered heart back together, perfectly, better than it was before? R freaking VD!!

This may have been the best of the series. And that says a whole lot after Sergio’s books y’all. I mean honestly, I didn’t think anyone could gut me the way that man did- but Chase, geez. There’s no comparison. 

Perhaps it’s the way he lost his wife that hurt so bad. The way she wasn’t taken from him the way Andi was from Sergio, but rather took herself away from him. Mil made the choice that ultimately took her life, and led to Chase becoming a broken hull of his former self. And that stung. Bad. The way she did the family- it was gut wrenching. I cried some heavy tears when she met her end, because I wanted so much more for Chase, given all that he’d already endured with Nixon and Trace. So, I needed him to have his peace. I needed it on a soul deep level.

I never expected to see that peace come along in the form of someone like Luciana. Someone that was so far from the “life” it wasn’t even funny. Who was almost afraid of her own shadow. She was such a drastic change from Mil, that I was almost scared to think that she would never work with Chase. But then I realized that being so different from Mil is precisely why she DID work. Chase needed someone that he could protect. He needed to be the man. He needed to be the one in control. For once. He needed to be the boss. Even if he was wasn’t the “boss”. 

Seeing Luc sacrifice herself for Chase was the not only the true test of faith and loyalty to him, and the family, but to the love that they shared. After seeing her do it, I could never believe that she would make the same mistakes as Mil- regardless of the blood in her veins. She was not cut from the same cloth- she was a completely different breed of woman. And that is what made her Chase’s true soulmate, and what made this book so spectacular. 

The fact that Rachel is able to turn true tragedy and loss into something new and beautiful, to show redemption in the ugliest of circumstances- says so much about her talent. It’s just another reason that I love her stories so much, and that this series is one of my all-time favorites.

Excerpt:

BLOOD. BLOOD. BLOOD. It covered my hands. It surged through my heart. It dripped from my fingertips onto the concrete floor. Trapped. Broken. Finished. Hungry. Insanity scratched its way into my psyche as I eyed the door and waited. One heartbeat, two heartbeats, three… It opened. I fired two rounds, and acrid smoke filled the air. I thought I knew what love was. I was a fucking idiot. Every single bone in my body shuddered with rage, with the need to rip something apart, someone, anyone —all of them. My friends. My brothers. I brought the war to our house, and they would finish me because of it. I’d thought I loved her. Our love had been a lie. Her betrayal my only truth. And now? Now, I finally knew what love was. I’d seen it, smelled it, tasted it. And lost it. I’d fucking lost it. They would pay. They would all pay. For taking her. For turning her against me. For making me believe that blood was everything, only after mine was spilled.
