Now I haI was definitely thinking this was gonna be the usual step sibling story but nope I was shocked to the core. Everything just kept escalating. Now I have read many forced stories from this author but this is one of the most depraved of the collection. It gives you what it’s meant to and then some. Continue with caution. If you’re into normal dark reads with a pushy can’t take no alpha then don’t read this because that scenario is so much more tame than this story will ever be. For the truly depraved, the spice is off the charts mouth watering. ...more

I started it because a review had mentioned Stockholm but nope that didn’t happen. She hated him til the end. Torin was also very unpredictable which made it a little interesting but no. I actually expected more than smut because I thought there would be an actual story. I was tricked. ...more

I regret leaving this in my unread books for so long. I swear it’s been years since I downloaded it. It wasn’t bad and definitely kept me reading. TheI regret leaving this in my unread books for so long. I swear it’s been years since I downloaded it. It wasn’t bad and definitely kept me reading. There was never a moment where things weren’t 2 seconds away from going to shit. However, I really want to go into a rant on this one. I could get over the whole age of consent nonsense, however I just couldn’t get through how damaged Ivory is and he thinks he is the solution. #1 she has never truly had consensual sex… #2 her family hates and abuses her while she whores herself to support them… #3 after so many years of men forcing her what in the world says “she just needs a dominant man”. I cannot roll my eyes any harder. Now don’t get me wrong cause none of that actually takes away from the story, I’m just like make it make sense. This story lost 2 stars for 2 very specific reasons. First, It was soooo long winded and things happened that were quite unnecessary for the development of the story or the relationship. Why did Joanne pop up to only last a few pages? She had no effect on how things progressed. Why the robbery? Why not just let her brother disappear into the woods or something? And most importantly the stupid ass ending. I hate subpar endings. With all the extra shit that was thrown in for no reason at all, that’s the ending that stuck. Ugh it was anticlimactic and was over in 2 pages. It’s almost like the writer was over it and stuck a pin in it with whatever bullshit that made sense at the time. ...more
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
Welp I wrote a review, it disappeared. It was 100% a rant. The book has triggers but isn’t as dark as most think. It’s all purely physical anguish. NoWelp I wrote a review, it disappeared. It was 100% a rant. The book has triggers but isn’t as dark as most think. It’s all purely physical anguish. Not bone deep psychological trauma. Cause I have definitely drowned in a few that will have you crying by the end. I was a good dark dive though and definitely stood up to the expectation I had. Most either loved it or hated it. I see why. ...more

And believe me there was a lot of sex but i found myself rushing through those shorts scenes to get back to the crazy.

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

She can weave a tale so twisted yet too intriguing to pull away. My heart hurt more every page i turned. Just when I thought everything would be ok, the world came crashing down. Holden deserved the world to be laid at his feet for the life he endured and the reasons he was forced to cope the way he did. ...more

I went into this story expecting my heart to drop, just like every other A.A Dark book. Yes this is still dark but not as dark as Whitlock gets. Still a good read. Short and quick, with enough to have you on edge waiting for the next gameplay. Well done!...more

Ellie and Fury has a very strange and dark past. In the end, they overcome every obstacle put in their way (and there are many). It's not your usual love story, it's kind of unique and uses realistic world problems as a way to create a connection with the characters. It was quite amazing and i am actually looking forward to continuing this series. ...more

All the charactThis was so different from other post apocalyptic books i have read. It was unique in its history and adventurous through its journey. All the characters were thoroughly different and complex enough to be realistic. This is a story of overcoming ones internal instinct and believing fate has far more planned to bring happiness. A very dark and sweet story all the way to the end, well maybe only sweet in the end. But the ending is well deserved of all involved. ...more

No matter the desires he craved his heart was always in the right place. He was brutal at times but also fair.
As for Julie, she was definitely not right for the part until she came to her senses about herself. There is no amount of naivety that will allow a person to not know something so basic about themselves. Unless there was a reason why, being raised deep in religion doesn’t count, religion does not cut the flow of fantasies inside your brain. ...more
