I am drowning in darkness. 
My limbs submerged in inky tar, my lungs asphyxiated by the stench of death's hold. 
My eyes see nothing but black. 
Yet I see him. 
And I am not scared. 
I should be.

Don't look into my eyes, for my demons will eat you alive. 
My devil inside will feast on your soft flesh. His jagged teeth will tear the meat from your bones and drink the light from your soul. 
His scars will turn the innocent into sinful and drag you into his dark pit of hell. 
No light lives within this disfigured shell. 
I am a vessel for pain. 
Giving and receiving. 
It feeds me. 
It nourishes me. 
It holds me close like the arms of a lover and whispers to me in the twilight.

They say the devil was once an angel. 
There is no angel inside me. 
I do not seek repentance nor forgiveness. 
I do not crave things as weak as love. 
My desire for her is purely selfish and once my appetite is sated she will be unlucky to leave with her life. 
When she looks into my eyes, my demons will eat her alive.

*Book #2 of 'The Red Order' series. Can be read as a standalone, but to understand the full storyline consider beginning the journey with Feyness*

5 'Scary & Twisted' stars. - Twisted hero, intense storyline, yet beautifully written. - Melanie Moreland, NYT Best-Selling Author.

About the Author

ES Carter lives in Cardiff, South Wales. The home of castles, dragons and folklore. Her family joke that she was born with a book in her hand, and the urge to write stories soon followed. At eleven, she won her school's literary prize. At ages fourteen to sixteen - her poetry phase after falling in love with Dylan Thomas and e.e. cummings - she had a few poems published, but life, love and family overtook her dreams, and she was in her thirties when she began the scary journey of self-publishing. Her debut and internationally best-selling series, 'Love by Numbers', are a set of interconnected stand alone romances, all with varying themes of love. From second-chance to romantic comedy and M/M romance. These stories do not need to be read in order, in fact, she is often guilty of advising readers to start at the last book and work their way back through. Contemporary romance is not the only genre she writes, her second series, 'The Red Order', is as dark and twisted as you can get, but there is beauty there too if you can open your eyes and look. With many more stories bursting to be set free, she hopes you stay along for the ride.

USA Today Bestselling Author, ES Carter, lives in Cardiff, South Wales—the home of castles, dragons, and folklore.

Her family joke that she was born with a book in her hand, and the urge to write stories soon followed.

At eleven, she won her school's literary prize. At ages fourteen to sixteen - her poetry phase after falling in love with Dylan Thomas and e.e. cummings - she had a few poems published, but life, love, and family overtook her dreams, and she was in her thirties when she began the scary journey of self-publishing.

Her debut and internationally best-selling series, 'Love by Numbers', are a set of interconnected stand-alone romances, all with varying themes of love. From second-chance to romantic comedy and M/M romance. These stories do not need to be read in order (apart from the opening duet Nineteen/Twenty One), in fact, she is often guilty of advising readers to start at the last book and work their way back through.

Contemporary romance is not the only genre she writes, her second series, 'The Red Order', is as dark and twisted as you can get, but there is beauty there too if you can open your eyes and look.

With many more stories bursting to be set free, she hopes you stay along for the ride.

ES Carter has left me amazed.

The story the author writes isn't one of fanciful love, sweet dates, flowers and chocolates. This is a story of the monsters that are waiting in the dark.

Grim isn't the knight and shining armour. He's the devil coming to rip you to shreds.
Cal, well she's the victim of life but she's not just lying there and just taking it.

I cannot fully express how much I adored this story... If it weren't for real life I'd have devoured it in one day.
The characters, not just the main ones are fantastic, the scenes written and described in such a vivid way that leaves you breathless. Page after page after page of beautiful consuming darkness.
Like what the heck am I supposed to do with myself now that it is over? Where do I go?

Read this. You really should.

I loved this story, loved it's darkness and I especially loved Grim up until the very end.
ES Carter wrote such an incredibly astounding and bewitching tale... And I cannot wait for Luke's story will bring...

Let me start by saying WOW!!! Now after I caught my breath and picked my jaw up off the floor it's time to piece together all my thoughts in what I hope will be a coherent review as I was left speechless after finishing this forever haunting story.

Parasight is book 2 in ES Carter's Red Order series and it's the ONE book I've been waiting for - I'm a sucker for the damaged antihero and Grim provided just that. This book was everything I dreamed it would be: it's dark and gritty, bloody and action packed, but most importantly, full of emotion.

Grim, our scary yet lovable leading man - well, at least I think that - is back and better than before. He's still the same old knife loving, axe weilding man , but after one unthinkable event leaves him emotionally shattered he starts showing the one thing we wouldn have never guess he was capabale of, FEELINGS.

And the bearer of his attentions is none other than one strong leading lady. Calliah, is what I wished Grim would get. She's a tough and doesn't back down from a 'fight' type of heroine . After everything she's been through at the hands of her masters, she's right there in the midst of the war to get them destroyed.

The love story between these two is one of the many things that make Parasight a must read - from the get go there's chemistry, even in the saddest of times Calliah found comfort in Grim's strong and powerful embrace, while he found solace in the depths of her blue eyes. From there on out it isn't smooth sailing - don't be deluded, they don't instantly fall for each other and profess their undying love - they have to fight against their own reasoning and memories in order to maybe give themselves a fair shot.

What I loved the most about this story is how easily ES Carter dug into her dark and twisted resources to bring her readers a book that left me saying WTF quite often, one that had me stop in the middle of the action to catch my breath; one that made me think that nothing is of limits for her when she says she'll write a dark suspense romance - get ready for a bloodbath!!!

This is all I'll say about the story as it's one that has to be experienced without extra information. Just remember, Parasight is the story of two broken individuals, scarred by their past both on the surface but mosty deep down, who are afraid to even imagine that they are worthy of love, but who in each other find the things that they didn't know they were missing - carrying and understanding.

Parasight from E.S. Carter starts right off with the explanation of the demon/monster that Grim believes himself to be..........."his devil, with jagged teeth, will tear the meat from your bones and drink the light from your soul". His allegiance is to few as he resists the draw to the broken and angelic Calliad, whom he rescues from the hands of a sadistic and evil Master. There is darkness in this story that is unimaginable and yet you find yourself searching for, believing in and hoping for, good to overcome. I am a huge fan of Eli's and have read everything she has written. Her writing is descriptive, imaginative, mysterious and full of substance. You will laugh, you will cry and question how she does what she does with mere words. She does not disappoint and I know that you will also become a fan.

Too repetitive.. I'm not sure what I expected, but this book didn't have enough of I'd thought it would. More internal dialogues than actual plot. And when the two main characters got together, it was not until the very end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fiercely Dark and Deranged!
Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2018

After reading Feyness and the introduction to Grim, I knew that I NEEDED to read his story! With the glimpses we get of him in Faye and Cole’s story, I knew that his would be one of deranged f****dupness. Parasight exceeds the darkness that we see in the first book. I devoured and revelled in the madness that indulged my dark soul.

Grim is beastly in looks and in the way he delivers vengeance. He is violent and unforgiving once his demon is unleashed. He is the reaper, he is death personified and his punishment is fierce. There is no salvation to those he has set his sights on. He also has a bizarre proclivity to retain a “trophy” from each of his prized executions.

Calliah becomes one of Grim’s eccentrically acquired souvenirs. She has an unnatural skill of perception and she sees Grim beyond what he is and does. He pledges to eradicate all who have damaged and abused her. Can she stay as his keepsake, and will she be able to withstand his demon’s animalistic and aberrant demands?

~An eye for an eye. It’s time to make the whole world blind.~

“Bait is an unwilling accomplice. I am not bait. I am vengeance.”

Do you ever finish a book and think to yourself, “I am one sick puppy.”? No? *shrugs* Must just be me then, lol. I loved every dark, delicious word of this tale.

The author had her hooks in me from the opening prologue which really sets the tone for this instalment of The Red Order Series. Grim and Calliah are two characters whom I will not easily forget.

Grim is one of those characters that both frightens and thrills you at the same time. This is a bad boy on steroids. His demons are many, but what else would you expect from someone who has endured and survived what he has? Who are we to judge how he gets his kicks. Whaaaaaa? Don’t look at me like that! *blushes* Okay, okay – I’ll admit it. I’m slightly in love.

He also, unintentionally, had me in stitches in one scene. See ‘sick puppy’ comment above. All I will say is it involved Grim and a melon baller…. Say no more, says you *snorts*

I wanted to cry for Calliah, but she wouldn’t let me. I wanted to hug her, but again, she was adamant that it was not needed. Did the fact that she had survived all these years in conditions we couldn’t even envisage not attest to her inner fortitude and will to survive?

“Do not wish for the end when you’ve just found your beginning.”

Only once does she falter, but Grim provides all the strength she needs. It was as if she was saying, “See? Save your tears.”

My heart was in my mouth more times than I could count with me screaming WTW or some derivative at my kindle screen *whistles* The suspense was tangible and the action epic.

I always highlight sections as I read and, for me, this sums Grim and Cal up for me perfectly:

“Touch is an intimate awareness…. It can soothe, it can heal, it can comfort, it can create, and it can strengthen. It can also inflict pain and terrorise, but one thing touch never does is lie.”

Now, how long do I have to wait for Luke’s story? Because let me tell you – the snippet! – gave me a metaphorical hard-on lol.

An incredible story of a very dark and dangerous world. It's not for the faint hearted but if you like your hero's with a blood thirsty edge, then Grim is the hero for you and that, is ultimately, what he is.
This story is covered in blood and gore. The supporting characters, grotesque not only in appearance but in the life they've chosen. Yet, underneath layers of sick depraved behaviour and blood thirsty revenge, there lies a love story.
The lives lead by Grim and Cal to date are not happy. Their childhoods were similar in the respect that neither were happy and both were treated to indescribable torture, both mental and physical. Somehow, through all of this, they find strength in one another and that is the key to the attraction that both of them can not ignore.
I loved every dark, gut wrenching (literally in places) part of this story. The words used to describe Grim and Cal's existence are almost poetic. I didn't want it to end and loved every single moment. It's the kind of story you could easily read more than once. I can't rate it highly enough - I'm still buzzing with excitement at the thought of it. It was amazing.
One thing to take into account. To get a better understanding of the characters and background story, I would highly recommend you read book one in the Red Order Series - Feyness. It's not essential, but I would hate for anyone to miss out on getting to know the key players - Plus, it's also a beautifully dark love story!

While I haven't read book one, Feyness, in the series yet, it wasn't hard too follow, but I do think it might have helped.

Grim is aptly named as he frightens you, yet intrigues you, he's an enigma of evil and I do like a bad boy. Calliah is broken yet not, strong yet weak after her survival of the Kingdom, can Grim be the strength she needs to leave the past behind. Grim can't help, but looking at Cal and craving something he hasn't wanted before and it is it purely selfish?

While this took me out my comfort zone I did enjoy it and found it it different to what I'm used to, I wouldn't be adverse to this genre. I found it dark, yet funny in parts and probably if I'd read book one I'd have loved it more and I will be rectifying this.

However I can recommend this book to anyone who loves a dark read.

Yet another insight into the darkness that is the world of The Red Order this time giving us the dark depraved bloody story of Grim and what a messed up story that is!

This read is definitely not for the faint hearted and leaves you wondering how messed up you really are after enjoying the book so much.. but god I loved it!

Grim is not a blood brother to the Hunters but he is their brother in every single way you can imagine.. hes just as sick as them.. hes just as dark as them.. and hes loved through some unimaginable things in his life but even he gets a little light into his world when he stumbles across the beautiful Cal whilst on a job one day.
Cal has suffered her whole life but something about Grim makes her feel safe.

Jammed packed with angst.. blood.. twists and emotions this book leaves you wanting more and I am know so desperate to read Luke's story I'm running off to buy it now!

Es Carter you are a writing genius proving how well you can jump from one genre to the next and do it so so perfectly!
Would highly recommend to any dark read lover!

Although this book could be read as a standalone I think having read the first one it gave me a lot more insight as to the characters and the how the story would unfold. However I was really surprised as this book was even darker!!. It covers Grim and Cal. Grim by name and grim by nature he certainly didn't take prisoners and liked to keep trophies from his kills. when he came across Cal ( who was a sex slave and in a very bad way)he somehow felt the need to protect her.
This story again was emotionally draining and not to be read by the faint at heart. The book was written in a way that even through the darkness and twists and turns you can feel the underlying emotions that the characters are going through. A great read !!
