“You own the board now.” Checkmate


This trilogy has had me on the edge of my seat since the very beginning and that does not let up through The Castle. While the pacing of this book was different for me, that edge of suspense, intrigue and being kept in the dark was as prominent as ever. Skye Warren plays an extremely well thought out, intoxicating and captivating game of chess and our minds are definitely the pawns.


“Because I don’t plan to stop…Not for anyone. You’re mine, and I damn well keep what’s mine.”


The Castle continues on from The Knight and whereas The Knight was geared towards the plot, The Castle goes back to the couple and we are treated to a lot more time of Gabriel and Avery as a unit. However, the plot is still motoring along a mile a minute and this is definitely a book you need to read slow and where you need to keep your wits about you. I did find myself going back to re-read parts to make sure my mind had grasped it all correctly and this did stilt my enjoyment a little. A lot is revealed and I found myself going back trying to tie it all in to the previous books. This is plot twist heaven though and I didn’t see any of them coming.


“Don’t tell me you forgot me. It would hurt my feelings. Monsters have feelings too, you know.”


Skye Warren ties up loose ends, answers so many questions and delivers a finale befitting of this powerful couple. With chess history and Greek mythology all cleverly intertwined this made for some captivating reading and has left me itching for more, especially from Damon (who is up next in, The King) and I am hoping Anders get his story told too.

Gabriel has always had that dark edge, he has always been an enigma, extremely secretive and very much a closed book. He exudes power both in and out of the bedroom and was a tour de force in anything and everything he put his mind too. Throughout this trilogy, I have been in two minds as to whether Gabriel’s intentions towards Avery were genuine, or was his treatment of her a means to an end or the actions of a man that genuinely did not know what he was doing and I definitely got my answers as Skye Warren expertly exposed every single dark and sometimes deadly secret.


“Oh, little virgin. You definitely make me burn. And I’m addicted to being ash.”


Skye Warren expertly guides us through the most important game of chess that Gabriel and Avery will ever play, destructive, depraved, erotic, life and death decisions. While chess has always been their foreplay it seems in this game Gabriel and Avery are on the same team and their opponent is an unknown, but an opponent that is determined to win at all costs, no matter the consequences. This is a fight of survival and in getting there some secrets that were better left buried are unearthed with jaw dropping results. Everyone has had their part to play, a board of devious minds and none more so than Skye Warren herself.


“We both love a man that leads to our deaths.”


While The Pawn remains my favourite book of this trilogy, each book has brought something different to the table while continuing the most unlikeliest of love stories. Avery and Gabriel are the unlikeliest of couples, their relationship far from conventional, but underneath there is no doubt just how much these two mean to one and other. It may have seemingly started sordid and seedy, but their ending is far from it. A fantastic trilogy overall and one I highly recommend.


“I love you with every cold bone in my body. I love you with every dark thought, every violent impulse. I love you enough to leave the walls I’ve carefully built, the iron bars I refined, the castle I made.”
