BOOK SYNOPSIS:

Never fear the pain. Fear what lies behind it…

Grimm’s Circle, Book 6

In his mortal life, the only thing Jacob liked better than money was a good brawl—until he stuck his fist into the wrong fight, and a demon sent him spinning into a new life as a Grimm.

Now, a hundred years later, he’s been called to protect someone too much like himself. A woman who could let the chains of her past drag her down unless she learns to let go. A woman who fights like there’s no tomorrow, because she clearly doesn’t want a tomorrow.

Celeste thought her second chance at life would be an opportunity to fix some of her worst mistakes, to set things straight. She couldn’t have been more wrong. She’s trapped by the past and her regrets, and nothing—not even her darkly sexy new trainer, Jacob—has a blade sharp enough to cut her loose.

Chains are Jacob’s specialty, but his help comes with a price. To her, the cost is her heart. To Jacob…something much more.

NUMBER OF STARS: 4 Stars

Jacob knows a thing or two about the chains of the past.  How that harder you hang on to them the worst your future will be.  It has taken him over 200 years to learn to deal with his past mistakes.  While not perfect he now has to help the newest baby Grimm deal with hers.

Celine can not let go over her past.  She has regretted the choices she has made for the last 4 years.  But it will take almost losing everything in her life for a second time to make her open her eyes and realize that past is the past.  

Jacob & Celine are two peas in a pod.  Both have pasts that they have fought to get over.  Both are fiercely independent, strong, loyal, and totally lost without each other.  

I have be dying for this Grimm book since I finished Locked in Silence book 5 in the Grimm Circle series.  I love Shiloh’s Grimms.  I love trying to figure which fairy tale the character are based off.  Let me tell you I was WAY off on who I thought Grimm Tiding was about.   While this was not my favorite Grimm story of the series.  I still really really enjoyed the story and SO can’t wait for the next Grimm Circle.  

If you have not read any of Shiloh’s Grimm’s. You really need to pick up one. You have never read a fairy tale like this.  

*Huge thank you to Shiloh for allowing me to read her story*
