Now I will start by saying that this one has had the most insane amount of sex, way more than any of the previous books. That’s not something I can usually get past cause it takes away from the story most of the time. I am truly amazed. The world has gotten so much bigger and brighter. Gods among men. It takes you where you don’t expect to go. I love the god and Sora wasn’t so bad either, in the end at least. I still believe Thas was perfect for Karadas but ugh it was not meant to be. Personality wise, they would have ruled together. Because this is a m/m series I know the goddess will not get what she craves but even as a side note she should. She has even given the God who was meant to be hers a gift that she will never have returned to her. It’s sad really.
Edit: I do have to point out something that I noticed reading other reviews. And I guess my thoughts previously too about the insane increase in sex. I think that it was meant to be a part of the plot line. Without it the emotional development between the two would have never made sense. Sex bound them together and also pulled them apart. It created an arc in the relationship that lead to a war. With the little harem issue or the fact that Sora felt used, God and Goddess would have never came together the way they did, even though it was terrible. The time between Sora and Karadas was significant to the outline of the story. Take those moments away and the issues that Goddess has is obsolete. It would change everything and then there would be no story at all. Just a God and his sacrifice. I’ve read smut like that and they never have a story. Just endless sex until it’s over. But this author wants a story, wants a world built on love. It beautifully done. ...more

She made the wrong choice at every turn. And that’s really what this story is about. The choices a person makes in the name of whatever it is they stand for. I understand the process of wanting to save a broken soul but Maisie took it too far and it was costing her everything. Wilder was a whole fractured story of his own. The definition of broken. Or maybe not. He was shaped into the man he became. Broken emotions doesn’t really make him broken. He does what he is told. Makes the right decisions for the family, all the way to the end. ...more

Every book gets you prepared to be immersed in the world of Drayton’s Dolls. Only when you finally get there it is beautifully tame. I did love the idea and how much detail was put into the dolls. It was almost magical.
Once again i am misled and have come to understand that this series just grazes the edge of darkness, it never dives deep and drowns you. I originally gave this a 3 star rating but only because of the temptation given that was never quite satisfied. Other than that this series is a great read and the storylines are very detailed. Yes there is a lot of missed opportunity but not so much that the story is choppy.
Maybe another day i will move on with the series but as of now I believe i am done. ...more
Such a whirlwind of emotional surrender. That is the only thing i can say. Although this is slightly dark, the bigger picture is so much more appealinSuch a whirlwind of emotional surrender. 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
The best book i have read so far this year!!!! This seems more like a Stockholm syndrome type of relationship but I was thoroughly captivated! I wish The best book i have read so far this year!!!! 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

It was so dark and gritty but it had a touch of sweetness to tie it all together. This was well worth the read, i just can’t help wishing it was longer.

This was just as good as the other books surrounding this little world of guilty pleasures. Gabe actually turned out to be my favorite of the guys. NoThis was just as good as the other books surrounding this little world of guilty pleasures. Gabe actually turned out to be my favorite of the guys. 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

The title speaks for itself! They broke each other all over a little hidden fact. It was inevitable. What would you do if someone forced you to let go and show the true you, made you love them, made you forget you reasons why its not right, gave you no option but to accept the love or die inside from pain, and tried to kill you at the same time?!? That is this story. ...more
