Holy s***! This book was a dark, twisted, crazy, messed up wild ride! It was unputdownable as the twists and turns kept comingI had to know what was next!

Dulcie is an art geek, a quiet girl who mainly keeps to herself, but she has a hidden darkness inside.

Constantine Con Masters is the quintessential golden boystar quarterback, rich daddy, gets what he wants when he wants it. However, there is something inside him that he doesnt understand and is afraid to show.

She called to him, and she didn't even know it.

The two have an undeniable connection and it allows them to be the real person hidden deep inside. But it is crazy how the two connect!

I don't want to be responsible for you, Dulcie. I don't want to be the thing that wrecks you, he tried to explain. She finally laughed again. Stupid boy, I was wrecked long before you showed up.

There have never been two more perfect people for each other than Dulcie and Con.

I loved this story! I have been a fan of Ms. Fantomes work since day one, but she really pulled out all the stops on this one. It is definitely a must read if you are a fan of darkness and page turning books. I really cant do it the book justice with this reviewREAD IT!!

Escape from Paradise is dark, very disturbing, gritty, sexy and heart pounding and I LOVED it! Angela is an American college student on vacation in Mexico who is kidnapped and thrown into sexual slavery, and Colin is her sexy, Scottish savior, mentally tortured and out for revenge after he rescued his own brother from sex slavery years earier.

Over the months and then years, Angela is conditioned to live as a possession, a "thing" that belongs to someone else and lives to service others (and be warned, nothing is held back--the reader is given everything!) Colin must find a way to earn the right people's trust in order to get inside and rescue Angela, but at what cost? And will he be able to live with himself knowing what he's had to do to meet his end result?

I loved everything about this book! It's absolutely heart wrenching seeing what both Angela and Colin must go through--Angela, while losing her identity and being conditioned to live as a sex slave, and Colin, while going against who he is in order to try to rescue her, which makes him question the validity of the kind of person he's always thought he was.

Escape from Paradise has everything--action, romance, suspense--and Colin is one sexy alpha hero! Once I started, I inhaled it and didn't want to stop reading for a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g. If you love dark, disturbing, gritty, erotic romances, you will love this book!

Take a psychopath, a girl looking for answers, a man looking for revenge, and throw in a taboo subject, mix it all up and what do you get. One hell of a must read dark story from K Webster.

We meet Jayne when she thinks her life has been turned upside down.  What she doesn't know is what is about to happen will consume her until she gets answers.  This is the type of book that is hard to write a review because you can't give anything away in the story.  So why did I like it so much.

Ms. Webster has a way of weaving a dark tale that has your emotions all over the place.  Just when you are feeling and thinking one things she throws in a twist that is so off the wall that you are saying WTH?!?!?!  With this story she also kept you in the dark about certain things.  Don't worry you will find out the answers but she keeps you waiting on the edge of your seat.

The characters ----  well you will hate some of them, hate some of them and then up loving them, and feel for others.  Her characters are so complicated and unique that they draw you into the story.

Once again she has written a story that has you needing group therapy after reading.  Settle in for a wild ride with Sweet Jayne.

Wow-- what a ride! If you're looking for a truly unique and creative experience, this book is for you. Knaak's writing is gritty, fun, and dark in the best possible way. I loved following the ever-changing but never apologizing Elizabeth (don't call her Beth!) and the story's little nuances were so, so entertaining. My favorite thing: this book has some serious guts!

Wow, what a crazy ride this was. If you like dark books with complex characters and insane endings, you have come to the right place. This was kind of a messed up version of Annie...and I loved every minute of it.

I loved Domino from the beginning. She is broken, alone, and can't help but cling to anyone who will give her love and attention. Aren't we all that person at times? Unfortunately, this makes her more vulnerable than is safe and she ends up in the house of a woman who calls herself Madam Karina.

Madam Karina is also broken, alone, and clings to anyone who will give her love and attention. But since she is the one in power, she also has the ability to punish those who distance themselves from her. She was one of those characters you love to hate.

And then there is Wilson. He is the devil on each of our shoulders, begging you to give up your self-control-- to rule by passion. And in Wilson's case, it's usually the violent kind. He is what made this book so mind-boggling awesome. He is the darkness in all of us, and he shows up uninvited at the worst of times.

Victoria Scott wove a dark tale that kept me wanting more. She created characters that we could root for, and yet never want to meet. (Though, to be honest, you'll despise 90% of the characters...but I wouldn't want it any other way) The pacing was perfect, and the ending was totally insane--and I mean that in the best way possible. I am giving Violet Grenade 5 out of 5 stars and a place in my Top Hits.

Totally not you typical story!!! This dark read takes you to places i wasn't aware that i could go!!! I was taken on a rollercoaster ride of every emotion i was capable of and then some. Clarissa Wild is not afraid to step out of the norm of what is usually out there in books these days. She takes you to the edge and back and keepos you guessing at every turn.
I enjoyed the depth of this story immensely and am looking forward to the next book!!!
Lilith escapes from a mental hospital after fantasizing about the mysterious Sebastian Brand. Lilith is captivationg by this beautiful stranger and she isn't sure how she knows him or if he even exis, since everyone at the hospital accuses her of seeing things. Trauma made her forget things that she doesn't want to remember............ Sebastian's goal is to help her remember by any means necessary and by any means i say ANY means.
What happens when Lillith finally knows the truth she repressed for so long and can Sebastian walk away when it all comes to light???
Take a maddening journey that will leave you breatheless and yearning for more!!

Deliciously dark  and tantalizingly twisted!! Clarissa Wild is the Queen of Dark Romance! I loved everything about this book. The twists and turns and especially the unknown! I loved Syrena in Caged and wanted her story so badly. Now that I got it, I can honestly say freakn LOVED it! The book is amazing on its own, but listening like to the playlist while reading Chased took the book to a whole different level! If you skipped out on the playlist, you truly did yourself a disservice. Chased is truly Wild's best book to date. Well, until the next one, anyway. I've read a few genres of Wild's but I must say, dark and twisted is where she is at her best. I definitely recommend this book but strongly urge the reader to read Caged and Locked first because there are questions there that are answered in Chased. Bravo, Ms. Wild!

I love a good dark and twisty book and Nina Sadowsky has written a fabulous one with Just Fall.  It tells the story of Ellie and Rob and alternates between THEN and NOW (then telling us all about their life shortly after their marriage and now telling us about the complicated situation they find themselves in as their secrets come to light).  This book had e on the edge of my seat and I loved every surprising, disturbing and complicated moment.  Ellie and Rob are both damaged people, but it will be hard to not become engulfed in their lives and root for them both.  Sadowsky is a talented writer and she created nuanced characters and an interesting storyline that will keep you guessing.  I greatly enjoyed this.  Perfect for fans of darker reads who like to have their minds played with and their beliefs questioned.  Ellie and Rob's story will stay with me for quite a while.

WELL.
* takes a deep breath, looks around, whispers to self " didn't see that coming "*

I just read an unexpected beautifully haunting dark tale that not only captured my attention but my heart as well.
This thought provoking, hotter than Hades, full on frustrating read had me wanting one thing, but changing my mind on the next page!
Once I started I. COULD. NOT. PUT IT. DOWN. Much like the characters in this story, it quickly became an obsession.
Having read other books by the magnificent Nora Flite in the past, couple times I had to remind my self who's book I was reading, but honestly, it just shows her diverse writing abilities in this fantastic novel!
IMO, this is a 5++ STAR read
She blew me away with the sexy dark layers, deep twists, and love in the midst of it all!
I highly recommend this to anyone who can do dark themes!!

Words can't even begin to describe how these books made me feel.

In Dirty Bad Wrong, you will learn to test the boundaries of how much you think you can take. This book is twisted - and yet left me begging for more. Much darker than the 50 Shades series, you learn about the more extreme end of BDSM. I seriously had to put my kindle down a few times in fear of it melting because it was so hot.

In Dirty Bad Savage, you learn that members of the BDSM community come from all walks of life. This is my favorite of the trilogy, simply because the imagery of the story stuck with me for weeks after reading it. Callum was gritty, raw & savage - and yet - the character I most identified with. His story will break your heart & melt your panties at the same time.

In Dirty Bad Strangers we learn exactly how far someone is willing to go to find what they need. Gemma took some MAJOR chances to fulfill her fantasy & it was scorching HOT!

While each of these books can be read as standalones, I couldn't imagine skipping any of them. I highly recommend this boxset, but remember to keep a cold drink & fresh panties close by!

I loved this book! Villain was my first read from Jackie Wang and it certainly won't be my last. She had me hooked from the first chapter with her writing. This story was full of twists and turns, and I had no idea what was going to happen next.

I couldn't stop thinking about him. He was an enigma, his past, a giant question mark. I wanted to hear him confess his crimes. I wanted to hear his side of the story. Why I felt any sympathy for a man like him was beyond me. Yetthere I was, waiting.

Ryder and Callys story is a dark and unconventional one. I loved that Jackie didn't shy away from diving into Ryders traumatic and troubled past. The flashbacks and history she gave us on him really helped me to understand where his need for answers and revenge came from. Hes also the definition of a major alpha, and I loved that she made him a little broken. The broken alphas are my favorites! And Cally was a strong, intelligent, and extremely feisty heroin. A perfect match for Ryder, and someone who never backed down from learning the truth.

Flames, flames, flames. I was going down in flames for this woman. She was setting me on fire and I didn't even care. I wanted to burn for her, and she didn't even know it.

Villain was a gripping, dark thriller with a perfect enemies-to-lovers story. I couldn't put this book down! If you're looking for a rollercoaster read with a hot alpha, then I highly recommend giving this one a try!

I have to say that I read part 1 of this series a while ago and it keep popping up in my mind that I had to get the rest of the series.  Unfortunately, some retailers have started to remove the books so if you are interested in reading this Dark, Twisted, Depraved story you better grab it while you can.  You have to take this author's warning seriously!  I am a huge dark fan and this will push every limit you have.

ENSLAVED  book 1
Annas parents were killed when she was a young girl and her guardian Jack took her in and he and Devin began to condition her for a life as a sex slave. She is now a fearful shell of a person. Her only desire is to please her masters in an attempt to avoid, or minimize, the sadistic punishments that are frequently inflicted upon her.  She was in effect brainwashed by the two men. This is a complex beginning to the series with paranormal elements and a complete powerful secret society ruled by powerful men.  Three of these men are Wilhelm and his sons, Alex and Kurt who see Anna as something special but she is under Devins control.  There are many secrets and confusing elements in the first book but the last ritual scene was powerful and keep me interested in reading more.

ENTWINED  Book 2
This book is complex.  A part of you is morbidly fascinated by the events and another part is horrified that someone could abuse a young girl in that manner.  I am hoping that Alex is able to protect Anna before its too late, but since there are 3 more books in the journey it is unlikely.  It seems like every guy she comes in contact with treats her badly.

EMBRACED - Book 3
This book is a bit lighter if that is possible.  Devin is becoming more powerful, but Alex is trying hard to be able to save Anna.  We are able to understand the Brotherhood and Annas background now.  There seem to be many men that Anna falls for, but in the end her training is strong and she still views herself as a slave.

ENSNARED  Book 4
We pick up two years after book 3 ended, Anna exists in a drug-induced haze now that Alex has disappeared. Devin controls the drugs which he uses to control Anna. When Devin needs her back he weans her from the drugs and uses other severe methods to keep her in line.  She is able to begin dancing again and finds some happiness, but things are not better for her yet.

EMERGED - Book 5
If you're made it this far you will be thrilled to finally get an HEA!  Finally, things take a turn and the good guys are able to take out the evil.  It was a perfect ending to a twisted series.  Dont get me wrong it wasn't easy and straight forward and at times I wasn't sure it was going to happen, but it was amazing.  I would have liked to see Devin suffer more, but after the years of abuse he lead nothing could have evened the scales so at least he finally is gone.

This is one of my all time favorite dark series and I hope the author continues to write in this genre!

This is an amazing twisted read and needs at least 10+ stars! I can't wait to get my hands on the next parts. WOW

Twisted, dark and utterly hypnotic - amazing! Not a clue going into this book what is was about other than dark, and boy, did it not disappoint. I am not usually a fan of this genre, but I didn't even what the genre was until I was already hooked on the story.
We start with Lydia tied down and a man with her, you think he is the bad guy, but he isn't, we learn they are both captives, and we follow their story as captives, and what a dark and twisted tale it is, but so amazing you can't even think about stopping or turning away. Once you think the story has nowhere left to go, it evolves to the next level, it is almost two books in one, and Lydia is the only tie between the two stories. I am hooked and cannot wait until the story continues on, but don't be confused, this is a complete story, and while you know there is more, you don't feel cheated on the end of the book, you do feel the story is complete

What a read! This is the third installment for the Consequences Series. Do yourself a favor and read Consequences, then Truth then CONVICTED! It is an amazing story. Yes, it is a dark read  but it takes you places you cant even imagine! This is the mother of all emotional roller coasters but it is well worth it. Be prepared to go on a reading binge and let all else take care of itself! Enjoy!

I don't know how JA turns these dark ideas into such entertaining, mind "m"uckery, twisted stories that suck you in and don't let you go until the end... But I can't get enough. This story is weaved in such a way that you always feel a part of what is going on no matter what view point you are reading. You will find yourself getting lost in these characters, and intrigued with the absolute craziness they have flowing through their minds. One of my favorite things about this story is how the characters are able to find love within the dark, it's just a matter of peeling back all the layers. You will most definitely not be disappointed with this story. One last thing.... I understand dark reads aren't for everyone, JA stresses this is a dark read, so please don't read this story and and give her a cruddy review simply because you didn't like the dark factor.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.  This is the first book in The Evelyn Talbot Chronicles and it was a wild ride.  If you are looking for suspense, mystery, chaos, edge-of-your-seat action then this is the book for you.  Before I even begin, let me recommend you read this book with the lights on!

It really is a suspenseful book that has some dark and twisted individuals.  Evelyn is heading up a facility in Alaska (that she helped bring into being) that deals with the most depraved convicts there are.  She is a survivor of a horrific attacked, when she was 16 years old, and it was that survival that drives her to try to understand the evil depraved minds of the killers that are in custody at Hanover House.  I won't explain the story; Ms. Novak does it SO much better.  I just recommend that lights on thing.

Evelyn has a sort-of love interest in Benjamin Murphy, or Sergeant Amarok as the locals call him, and through this entire wild ride Evelyn and Amarok dance around each other.  Their story is entwined in the suspense story line so I won't explain that either.  I read it straight through because I couldn't put it down once I started it.

If you like suspense and murder and mayhem, with a budding romance, then I highly recommend this story!  But keep the lights on.  You were warned.
