About this book
Every night, I drive my blade into his chest. Every night, his power drags him back from the brink.
In the neon-drenched underworld of Las Vegas, the Grim Reaper gave me one job—kill the immortal in his basement.
I’m used to handling impossible things. Single mom, former soldier, supernatural assassin. Easy, right?
Except this guy won’t stay dead.
Where I am precision and control, he is chaos—a god unraveling, torn apart by his own power day and night. Fractured by pain, he has only one wish—to die.
So I return each night, carving away at his immortality. Until I start to see the man inside the madness.
When I sink my blade into his heart, and he yanks me closer, shoving the sword in deeper to steal a kiss with his dying breath—I realize I’m in trouble.
Every fight turns into a seduction, every night an impossible dare.
With every strike, I’m pushing him closer to death. But he’s drowning me in heat, hunger, and his ruin.
He’s spent eternity begging for death.
But can I bring myself to grant his one wish… and let him go?
Miranda and Xander's story is book one in an action-packed, spicy, plot twisty duet.

Anytime I start a Holly Roberds book I know I'm in for a treat...and this book is a whole SNACK! This is a spin-off from another full series (Vegas Immortals) read that first. This story is about Miranda and Xander. Miranda we met in the previous series, but we get to know her so much better in this book. She's definitely a very complicated character. She's so strong, but has these huge walls erected around her heart. This helps her for what she needs to do, but I love seeing those walls come...

⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 🌶️🌶️🌶️/5 Braking the Beast is the first instalment of the Vegas Immortals: The Beast and the Badass Series This is my third book by Holly and she has yet to disappoint with her strong and witty MFCs!! The relationship between Miranda and Xander has a realistic and amazing build up. Tons of tension building between them. I'll have to say the \"bathtub\" scene was my favorite. Let's just say Xander is an ancient Egyptian God of the Seas and Water 🫠🫠 Claiming The Beast is the next book...
