Holy hell wtf was this??? I was battling between a 3 and 4 star rating. The story line itself was great. It took me on the wildest mind fuck I’ve beenHoly hell wtf was this??? I was battling between a 3 and 4 star rating. The story line itself was great. It took me on the wildest mind fuck I’ve been on in a long while. Sort of like a Lily White novel, and if you know then yeah. HOWEVER, this is definitely smut. Sometimes less is appreciated. The plot was so thick that the amount of sex was quite unnecessary and took away from the seriousness of what was happening. For that I struggled to give a rating. It’s crazy that somehow this book treads that very fine line of what’s acceptable and the Mc’s never became unlikable. I fucking loved Sin in all his mental anguish. This dude was definitely a bleeding heart that was raised as a devil. Unapologetically him. Now Elli did get on my nerves sometimes. I have a hard time dealing with people who are forever a victim, mentally and physically with no will to fight back. She never grew a spine until that one instance and then poof spine disappears again. I swear Sin deserved so much more than her. ...more
I was captivated from beginning to end. I must say that the telling of a good story is when the sexual is all background noise. And believe me there wI was captivated from beginning to end. I must say that the telling of a good story is when the sexual is all background noise. And believe me there was a lot of sex but i found myself rushing through those shorts scenes to get back to the crazy. Natalie has a brilliant way of weaving a tale with just enough to keep you on the end of your seat. Hell i still don’t understand what’s going on and the ending definitely didn’t help!!! ...more

I origiI swear after taking a long hiatus from reading, this was a true dark journey to choose as my first. I love the imagery Ker weaves with words. I originally thought i would be lost because I couldn’t remember a thing about the first book but Ker supplied enough clues along the way to keep me going. The crazy is amplified big time around Ryan. I didn’t know what was true or what was truly even happening. An amazing read. The ending will leave you speechless. ...more

Which by the way would have made this a 5 star read!! He was such a dark, damaged soul. As for Samantha, she actually made me laugh at times. Especially the part about her Stockholm syndroming herself. Definitely not her brightest moment. Although she was the cliche kidnapped victim, she surprised me with her will of defiance. ...more

From the way Harley is mentioned in Bastards and Whiskey, I expected so much more darkness from him. But boy was I wrong about his twisted mind.
I won’t spoil it so all i can say is i was quite surprised in the end of it all. Everything about this story was COMPLETELY UNEXPECTED!!!!
On another note, i gave it 3 stars because of the ending itself. This was definitely a forced hea. A story like this, that pushed so many boundaries, cannot have a forced ending. Add a few more chapters to ease me into an hea. Don’t just throw it in directly after the game is over!!! ...more

That is the only thing i can say. Although this is slightly dark, the bigger picture is so much more appealing than the twisted picture it could’ve been. Me being me, i am a little sad that scenes with Marco were rushed and kept short. He is the only true darkness in this story. Kenneth, who I absolutely loved (sue me) was fighting a losing battle right from the beginning and he knew it. Anita was just stubborn. I kept waiting for her to just simply ask Kenneth to buy her from Marco but nooooo Ms Difficult, but i guess that would’ve been way too easy. Overall, i am extremely pleased with the development as well as the outcome (and im not one for hea). The characters were just right for the plot itself. I felt the energy of it, my imagination ran with it, and my mind was completely wrapped up in it. Hell i felt invested, hence the reason it is 3am and i have been reading all night. ...more

This seems more like a Stockholm syndrome type of relationship but I was thoroughly captivated! I wish the chapters would have included Alexanders point of view because even in the end he is still mysterious. Only having one side of the story is frustrating. The story development was direct and still managed to twist me up inside. So many lies and half truths. So many bombshell truths that shatter the floor beneath you. For the dark and depraved this is definitely a story for you. If you can find enjoyment in Lily White, Pepper Winters or Alaska Angelini then this is the story for you! It literally set my little black heart ablaze!...more

Tristan has absolutely no redeeming qualities. I began to truly hate him in the last book because he was truly worse than Gabe. Then all of a sudden ITristan has absolutely no redeeming qualities. I began to truly hate him in the last book because he was truly worse than Gabe. Then all of a sudden I’m expected to understand how Zach could possibly fall so deep that he leaves his fiancée after 20 years of friendship and 10 years of romance. All they truly had was an intense attraction to each other. Yes I understand how you find peace with someone who truly gets under your skin but they practically didn’t know anything about each other until the very end. It was just sex and more sex. I did like Zach though so i guess it wasn’t all bad. ...more
