I think Sabrina Gallo is unlike any other heroine I’ve ever encountered in any book. Sabrina is wild, spontaneous, seductive, brilliant, a fast thinker, a risk-taker, and volatile. Sabrina’s experiences with Adrik Petrov results in explosions in chemistry that carry throughout the book - from taking off for their first date in the first chapter to the very last page of the book. Very few heroes could beat the first date that Adrik set up for Sabrina. He understood the assignment. I felt excited reading their action filled adventures in The Savage.
I enjoy reading about wild and passionate characters like Sabrina. I liked that Adrik didn’t get jealous of Sabrina’s interest in females in the very beginning which led to an intriguing scene involving another female. I liked that he felt so secure in himself that he didn’t get jealous then but instead embraced Sabrina’s interest at that time. Adrik and Sabrina have several intriguing and spicy scenes throughout the book. There are also steamy descriptions of Sabrina with a girlfriend from her past.
Adrik is also volatile. He’s a great leader beginning with his days at Kingmakers’s. He sees Sabrina as the tigress that she is.
But they become enemies in time. With both of them being volatile, the plot thickens. It becomes explosive, exciting, and sad. The emotions and feelings of Adrik and Sabrina are so strong and intense, they seem amplified.
I listened to the playlist as each song came up in the book. The songs matched the scenes perfectly and set the mood. The illustrations within the book were beautifully drawn and also matched the scenes that followed perfectly. I could visualize the scenery and imagery so easily for this book and the whole Kingmakers’s series with the descriptions that the author used.
There are a few appearances from past characters from the author’s previous books. It is probably a good idea to read the other Kingmakers’s books before reading this book to prevent spoilers of those books, especially The Spy. I enjoyed reading about the past characters and seeing their reactions to the explosive relationship between Sabrina and Adrik. I’m looking forward to the retelling of Anastasia from the author but I would love it if the author’s fans could once again talk the author into writing another Kingmakers’s book.

“I like what I am. I’m not afraid to be more.”
Sabrina Gallo knows who she is and she knows exactly what she wants. It’s all a matter of saying screw expectation and reaching out and taking it, and now figuring out how to do that alongside someone else. Adrik sees Sabrina for the fierce woman that she is. He knows she’s more than anyone could dare to imagine and she is exactly who he wants.I don’t want to spoil this story for anyone, so I’m going to keep my thoughts as base layer and vague as possible. I think what I love most about The Savage is that Sophie saw how drawn all of us were to Sabrina and truly gave us HER full throttle and without holding back. She’s falling in love in this story and while she knows herself, she’s also finding new parts of herself and creating a life in a new world. She makes mistakes. She gets mad. She speaks her mind. She is insanely human and I love how even though she lives a life they feels unbelievable she is still an extremely real character.“It scares me. I feel desperate and crazy—way past normal. I feel like I was already on the edge, and then I met you and I jumped right off the cliff.”Adrik is easy to love as well. He’s so much like Sabrina that it causes a lot of chaos in their relationship, but it’s as if they already know one another so well right off the bat. Sure I wanted to strangle him a few times, but that’s understandable because Sabrina comes first for me. The pull these two had toward one another, the chemistry, and the ease that these two have, even with all the chaos that ensues, usually because of one of them, is just mind blowing. It’s honestly like they each found their perfect pairing in the midst of a rescue mission. What are the odds? Sigh. Just thinking about their love makes me smile.It’s wild. It’s intense. It’s hot. It’s volatile. And their romance is only a portion of what this story is about. There’s much much more going on than the romance, but yeah it’s obviously one of my favorite parts because not only do they find love they find so much more in one another. Their love and SabrinaAdrik’s journey from page one to the end was just everything I didn’t know that I needed from this story.I know Sophie did us a solid writing this, but with everything that happens in this book I don’t know HOW she could go without giving us more of this world and it’s characters. I mean… can we stay here forever? Please.TW: violence, recreational drug use
