"...his soul and mine were cut from the same shimmering fabric, hewn from the same rock, dipped from the same pool. Wherever souls come from, we share the same source. I am Heathcliff, and he is me. Anger and arguments, terror and tragedy, chaos and pain — none of that will change what we are to each other."
Ruthless Devotion is the 3rd installment in the Gilded Monsters series by Rebecca Kenney. It's her southern gothic take on Wuthering Heights and takes place a short while after the events in Charming Devil. She takes the dangerous, obsessive love between Cathy and Heathcliff and gives it a happier ending.
Cathy has never felt like she belonged in her insular, cultish South Carolina community. Her banshee heritage has made her a pariah, a threat to everything her community has stood for. Nobody understands her until he shows up: Heathcliff, brooding, powerful, tempting.
Rebecca Kenney really ups the dark Southern Gothic vibes of the Gilded Monsters series in Ruthless Devotion. Horrific monsters of myth are deftly woven together with insular communities, tortured souls and desperate romance to create a completely captivating tale.
