Nikolai: Through The Devil’s Eyes by Shandi Boyes

Nikolai Popov was raised in a criminal entity that’s as bigoted as it is violent. A byproduct of a woman pushed to the brink, he’s lived a hard and fast life that often sees him facing a line-up, yet he’s not spent one night behind bars.

After a confrontation with a known enemy, Nikolai stumbles upon an angel precariously balancing on the balustrade between good and evil. To others, she seems too pure to be dragged into the dark and demented world of the Russian Mafia, but Nikolai knows better. He sees the survivor in her eyes, the one dying to live again.

Confident a long-weekend with his newly-appointed defense attorney will cure his sudden wish to help a stranger, Nikolai gets inventive with his home arrest documentation. He thrusts Justine Walsh into a dark and volatile world, having no clue she’s been there before. Will she survive a second meeting with a prince of darkness, or will hell open its gates for an angel for the second time in history?

Nikolai: Through The Devil’s Eyes can be read as a standalone, however, it is best after the previous Nikolai books to avoid spoilers.
