The
impossible happened while reading The Chateau; I fell deeper in love with
outrageously witty Kingsley Boissonneault. This time, a younger version of the
kinky, cunning and overly sexy character I've come to adore. Just when I
thought I knew everything about this charmer, Tiffany Reisz proved me wrong by
adding another dimension to his multi-faceted persona. We finally see a hint of
the gentler side to this ruthless, perpetually whorish man. I'm addicted to all
the Original Sinners, always greedy for more when it comes to this series and
having a glimpse into King's time while in La Légion was genius. Masterfully
written with a plot filled with intrigue, twists, and turns, Reisz gifted fans
of the OS a refreshing new perspective in this ninth installment.
Journeying
through the period separated from his "monster," beloved Søren, we
see a 24-year-old Kingsley as an officer for La Légion. His highly specialized
skills for the French Agency are diverse, but his latest assignment is
undoubtedly intriguing. The Colonel entrusts King to rescue his nephew, Leon,
from the claws of The Madame ~ the mysterious and elusive head of a sex cult
where men are (supposedly) subjugated to serve women in every way ~ hidden a
chateau. His task is to infiltrate and bring Leon home, but Kingsley discovers
there is more to this rescue mission. As it turns out, this sex club of sorts
is the perfect place for the lewd lieutenant.
Throughout
this read, there was one character who fascinated me more so than my dear
Kingsley, and that was Madame. She, very much like Søren, was a sadist who
consistently played mind games. She probed King for personal information,
exposed his emotional pain like a raw nerve, and used that weakness against
him. For Kingsley, Madame helped put his life, relationship struggles and dealing with Søren's absence in perspective.
Another
fantastic novel crafted by the brilliant Ms. Reisz that I highly recommend. Taboo
reads are often out of my reading comfort zone. However, Reisz's unique and
exquisite writing style captivates me every time. Her words effortlessly flow
to spin magnificent and compelling tales.
