The heroine: Ksenia – she is the daughter of a Russian Bratva leader. He mother was murdered years ago, and her father went a little nuts and killed the men that did it and their entire families. He was exiled but still ran his empire. He taught his daughter about weapons and how to defend herself. She took to it so well that she became his best assassin. Her uncle stayed in Russia and was the right-hand man to her father, until he decided he wanted to be the leader. Ksenia and her father were at a cabin in the mountains in the winter when her uncle and his men attacked. Ksenia got away and somehow ended up near a castle.

The Hero: Thing – he is a massive blue monster with six arms. He was made by his creator/father along with his brothers, though they never were good enough. His father was an angel with a lot of anger, he created the four horsemen and set them loose on humanity. Thing was known as death because of his ability to walk with the dead and accompany them to another realm. They reigned for thousands of years until the creator/father died. When one of their brothers died, another brother, Abbadon locked Thing and his last brother Remus/Romulus up in the dungeon for over two centuries. Now the brothers get along and live together in their castle.

The Story: Thing finds Ksenia running alone in the snow-covered forest. He takes her to the castle where she stays for a night. Though she has to get back to her father’s cottage in the woods to see if he survived and to take her revenge on her uncle and his men. Thing offers to go with her and protect her during the long trek.

I really liked this book. I have been liking monster romance lately, especially when they are uncommon monsters like these. Thing is massive, muscular and has three sets of arms. I love that he is able to do so much with his arms, and he is a gentle giant despite the fact that he is known as the horseman, Death. The world building is great, and I really liked both characters.
