I always know going into a book by this author that she is going to mess with my mind. Her characters all have an intense backstory that takes on new meaning in their current circumstances.
This is going to be a bumpy ride. I can tell that their are a lot of secrets about to be exposed and no one is safe.

I have received an eArc of this book and I'm leaving the review voluntarily.
Holy shit, this book had me in chockhold. For real, I wasn't here for smut not at all but damn the things happening *mind blown*. He was cruel, bro like legit, I haven't read many books where the dude is so vicious. And I loved it, I dunno if something is wrong with me but I loved it.
I felt bad for her, really associated with her. She was trying so hard to cope with things but alas life is a bitch.
I forgot how well Lana writes, I'm like ma'am, I was hooked from the first page, which hasn't happened for a while now so thank you.

Blood Money is a dark story shrouded in mystery and revenge. Ada Maria is a pawn in her father's controlling world, he dictates how she behaves, what she wears, and who she must be in a relationship with. Her life is not her own.
Domingo is the righthand man of Don Roy, another tool in his belt to control and manipulate those around him.
Lana Sky uses eloquent words to paint her story and her books are full of darkness and despair, especially in the minds and hearts of her characters.
I loved reading this story!

“God only knows what he wants with me, and, for the first time, I toy with the more dangerous possibilities I haven’t let myself consider before.
Rape.
Torture.
Murder.”
Ada-Maria Pavalos finds herself kidnapped by her father’s ex right hand man, Domino.
Betrayal at its finest. But who really betrayed who?
This book. Holy crap.
We have Ada who is not without her flaws, has been used over and over again by friends and family, and has quite the personality to show for it.
Domino. The one soldier that would never give Ada a second glance or fall into her scheming ways to seduce men and toy with them.
“..he embodies my prior religious comparison to a fallen angel. This man is Lucifer himself, here to condemn me to hell.“
This is a dark book. I wouldn’t call it a romance. Although it could end up as one in later books.
Domino is out for revenge and it is a slow torture to figure out what exactly he wants from Ada and why he is doing the things that he’s doing to her. Because he doesn’t do very nice things….
The story has an incredible descriptive way of capturing these characters angst, inner turmoil, heartbreak, anger, and every emotion in between. Lana Sky is one of those authors that knows how to write with passion and full description and really makes you see the full picture of what’s going on. Because these are very complex characters. Neither one is innocent from the things they have done in their past and present.
Ada’s life has been completely turned upside down. She doesn’t know where she is, she’s in someone’s home that she thought she knew but Domino is a completely different person than whom she thought he was and he’s way more powerful than she ever imagined. He also has plans for her that leaves her life in the balance. Which does leave this book off on a pretty intense cliffhanger. If you do not like cliffhangers I suggest you wait for the next book or wait until the series is complete. What I will say is, I am not new to Lana Sky. I have always highly recommended every book I have read of hers. This one is no exception. If you like books dark and gritty then I absolutely recommend starting the series!
*This book does have a disclaimer in the beginning of the book that does warn you that there are talks of sexual abuse, mentions of child abuse, mentions of eating disorders, graphic depiction of violence, and mentions of self harm.

Nope, 233 pages and I still had no idea wth was going on or why? Meanwhile this girl is being used and abused on almost every page. I also don’t remember seeing a trigger warning list or page. Though I’ve permanently deleted the book off my library so I can’t go back to check, so I could be wrong. Needless to say, this is not for me.
