The Uprising - Grit Sector 1- Rebecca Sherwin plus review

Title: The Uprising

Series: GRIT (Sector 1): Book 2

Genre: Dark Romance

I thought he was mine. I LIVED WITH TOO MANY DEMONS. He belonged to the underground. AND THE UNDERGROUND WERE COMING FOR HER. I wanted to know every secret. I THOUGHT I KNEW EVERY SECRET. I thought we were safe. WE WOULD NEVER BE SAFE. I thought we had won the fight. BUT THE WAR WAS ABOUT TO BEGIN...

Trixie Ashford-Blackwood is now a part of a world she had no idea existed a mere few months ago. Married to a vigilante, heir to the throne of the organisation governing London, and chasing her own tail as she tries to uncover more clues about her purpose within GRIT, Trixie is battling against time as much as she is her husband. She has no idea what lies ahead, no idea who the man is who lays with her at night, and no idea of the traitors hiding in plain sight, waiting to spill her priceless blood. Elias Blackwood continues to fight his urges. He controls his desires, keeps the beast contained and refuses to acknowledge the risk that he may let loose on his wife. GRIT is slipping through his fingers, his control wavering with every minute that passes, while betrayal runs rife within the ranks of his army. He fights against time, and the people who are trying to bring the king of the empire to his knees; to not only keep them alive, but save a city that is drowning in evil and debauchery. But GRIT aren’t the only people working the Capital. Someone else is watching them. Analysing them. Preparing to strike. Someone else is preparing to step up and threaten their place on the throne. Someone is about to declare war on GRIT. An uprising is upon them. No one could have foreseen the betrayal. No one could have anticipated the devastation they would soon have to face.

*Warning: GRIT is a dark romance series. There are no rainbows and butterflies.

My Review

I should hate this book but I don't. I should be repulsed but I'm not. I shouldn't enjoy reading this but I can't put it down. I am as conflicted as Trixie and Elias and I think that shared connection with the characters sucks me in. They love and hate their situation and what they do to others and each other and knowing things are not black and white, evil and good but rather blurred makes it easier to read some of the darker twisted scenes.
I finished book one in this series with more questions than answers, and while things certainly progressed in book two I still don't think I have a full grasp on GRIT and after the twists and turns this time who knows what might happen in book 3. All I know is I can't wait to find out.
Warning these books are not a sweet romance and some scenes are confronting but if you like a darker streak to your stories then this series and Sherwin's other series will be just your cup of tea.
