Synopsis (Goodreads):
Can love redeem a monster?

The Refuge is home to some of the most violent beings in the universe. Kralj, its leader, reigns over the remote outpost with terrifying ease, ruthlessly squashing any rumors of rebellion, killing anyone who breaks his rules. Primitive, deadly, powerful, he’s a monster, scarred both on his face and his soul. He has never met a being he couldn’t control.

Until he meets her.

Dita has one mission—to kill the three targets claiming sanctuary within the Refuge. Or so she claims. For the first time in his long lifespan, Kralj isn’t certain of another being’s intentions. The tiny assassin is immune to his powers, her thoughts unreadable. He can’t predict her movements, can’t control her, can’t stop wanting her.

Dita is rare, as unique as he is, and, to keep the residents of the Refuge safe, Kralj will have to kill her. But first, he’ll touch her, taste her, show her how passionate the beast inside him can be.
Thoughts on Dark Thoughts: It seems fitting that the man who can read anyone finds his way to the one woman whose thoughts are closed to him. Or maybe I should say SHE finds her way to him. And she harries him every time she bats an eyelash because she's not afraid of him and is willing to risk the consequences for breaking him rules.

Frankly, Kralj has never met anyone like Dita before and he's not sure at first if that's a good thing. He keeps order at the Refuge because every inhabitant knows his retribution is swift and deadly and then this little human assassin comes along and ties him up in knots and he's just ALL UNDONE about her.

Fortunately, Dita's quick to grasp her part in Kralj's world. Or...her part in keeping him from blowing a hole in his world? I don't know. Either way, she understands that she's his other half and can keep his monster under control.

Bloodshed, a little danger, retribution of a catastrophic nature, and a whole lot of steam between two scarred souls. *thumbs up*
