Dark Desires Anthology: Six Modern Retellings of Timeless Romance by L.A. Cotton, Sophie Lark, Jill Ramsower, Nikki Ash, Skye Warren, Sierra Simone, K Webster

3.0

The Count of Monte Cristo has been on my TBR for years. I stumbled across this modern retelling by accident, in an anthology by Skye Warren.

Van, Ethan & Hazel are 3 friends who start a company together. When Hazel & Ethan get together at a New Years Eve party, Van is incensed with jealousy. What follows on the Darkest Night will set in motion a revenge story years in the making.

While the ending is perfect, it was a little too tidy for me - I wanted a bit more downfall for the Big Bad. A fun, dark weekend read.
