'SKELETON KING' is the ninth full length dark romance book by new to me author Charity B's (The Dirty Heroes ) Collection.
In this you meet John our skeleton king and Sarah, both broken beyond measure but both find love in the most unlikely situation.
So I'd heard a few whispers in the book world that people were out with their pitchforks trying to get this banned off Amazon, so what did I do? I one clicked this b#tch to see what all the fuss was about!!
I'd really love to see this authors search engines on her computer!! Imagine explaining those away if they ever came into question!! lol
I've read a lot of f#cked up sh#t in my time but some scenes in this book definitely had me squirming a wee bit!! So heed the warning the author has placed on this book, it's there for a reason, everything she promised to give us she delivered!! If you have triggers then think carefully before you purchase this, it doesn't muck around, it's in your face, it's dark, gritty, sick and beyond twisted all those boxes us sickos like ticked are ticked. This book will not be for everyone.
'Welcome to Hollow Grove' where the residents give in to their deepest and darkest desires within their private gated community. Where there isn't anything too perverse or too macabre for this place many call home. They have their own ways of doing things there.
When I put on the paint, it's as if I become someone else. The moment the skull is on my face, I transform from John Skelver to Skeleton King.
This was beyond unique, I can honestly say I've never read anything like it before. What started off extremely dark just over half way we see a glimmer of light shining down on us as a romance starts to blossom and takes root, making me love how unconventional it was, an exceptionally dark twist to the 'Nightmare before Christmas story'. So take a step out of your comfort zones and give this one a shot, it's no worse than what you've probably seen on tv, plus it's fiction, two thumbs up by yours truly.
After much deliberating and ping ponging around with what to rate this book I've decided on 3.5 stars.
Sicko was one book I was highly anticipating!! I needed it in my life and I was one happy bitch when it landed on my ipad!!
Ok so this does come with a warning which is new by this author, she never does that!! We readers know what she's capable of, we know she likes to f#ck with us, so the question is, are we prepared?
This is where it missed the mark for me, I was hoping she'd wreck havoc on my dark soul but sadly it didn't live up to that warning. I crave, need, to feed that dark side of myself and I had everything crossed hoping that this book would give me everything I wished for. With a name like Sicko I was expecting to read more than one scene, I wanted it all.
With my dark reads I’ve become very picky with my ratings, mainly because I’ve gone pitch dark and that’s where my dark soul seems to be the happiest. I waited and waited for this to lead me down a dark path, it did eventually come but I would’ve liked with that warning more than what we got. But in saying that new readers taking a step towards the dark side proceed with caution, that warning is for you.
The storyline was all twisty and suspenseful which I loved, throw in one certain sex scene and my inner sl#t was rejoicing!! Oh and hands off girls Wicked is mine!! ...more

HUSH: Is a full length coming of age book by authors Anne Malcom & B.T. Urruela. Spoken in third person POV's. This is Orion and Maddox' story.
This was such a deliciously decadent, unique read that had me devouring this at record speeds! Expect the unexpected, twists and turns that had me glued to my iPad as the world outside ceased to exist! I couldn’t and didn’t want to put it down, read from front to back in one unputdownable sitting!
The writing flowed flawlessly, this was one outstanding collaboration, you never knew when one author stopped and the other started, the characters were easy to relate to, and the storyline packed one hell of a punch leaving me floundering in its wake.
Hush now girl. You belong to us now!?! Hope for the stolen girls, survival of the strongest, this was an emotional journey that shattered me on so many levels. They were taken, some from privileged lives, others not so much, but they all landed in one place they wished they hadn't. A dark cell, chained, on soiled mattresses. Scared. Beaten. Raped. With no escape in sight.
Orion Darby captured my heart so easily, I wanted justice for her and I was along for the ride with the sexy she devil wearing designer heels, as she eradicated some monsters off the face of the earth. Even though this wasn't a romance per-see we did get a few moments that could be only described as love of the most purest kind. My heart broke for the injustice of these girls and all they had lost.
You need to go into this one blind, be aware though that this book may cause triggers.
MASTER OF SALT AND BONES Is a full length, dark suspenseful romance read, by new to me author Keri Lake. Spoken in 'Dual perspectives.' In this we meet Lucian & Isadora.
I'd seen 'Master of Salt & Bones' doing the rounds on my IG, HERE and FB and couldn't help myself, I HAD to one click!! I craved something different, something unique, the cover is absolutely gorgeous, and being that its a new to me author I was willing to jump in both feet!! And I'm so glad I took that plunge, because straight away I was pulled under this authors spell.
God what wasn’t there to love about this book. I wanted unique, I got it, I wanted an unputdownable read, I got it, I wanted to forget about the ugliness our world is currently experiencing, I got it. This ticked so many boxes. The mystery, the darkness, the twists and turns, the romance, the vast age difference. God the feels on this one came at me full force.
Living in a small sea side community known by its superstitions resides 'Blackthorne Manor' a modern day castle which overlooks the township otherwise known as Bonesalt due its white clay and sand that covers the exterior of the castle. This very castle is owned by the only heir Lucian Blackthorne, he's also called the Devil of Bonesalt a man shrouded in mystery with a double homicide attached to his name.
[image]
It is said that when Lucian was younger he was incarcerated in a psychiatric ward and scars mar half his face. The very scars that earned him the devil moniker.
The devil of Bonesalt. My new boss.
For a few months, desperate for an escape nineteen year old Isadora will be hired as a companion to Lucian's ailing mother. Being a daughter of a sinner and father unknown she's lived her life striving to escape the hold the island has on her.
Since childhood she's had an uncanny ability to play music by ear, even though she doesn't have the ability to actually read sheet music itself.
It was my mother who first told me that there was no such thing as fairy tales with happy endings. That's because she spent her whole life waiting for the white knight to come and rescue her from the life she so desperately wanted to escape. I went in search of the villain instead, and found him alone and in pain, living in a castle of bones.
I loved how past and present was incorporated. This is exactly how a long book should be executed!! This author definitely has a way with words, she had me eating out of her palm effortlessly. I devoured this and I can honestly say that this book won’t be the last one I read by her. I absolutely loved it. Every page pulled me in deeper and deeper. This is exactly the type of dark, twisted story that I love!
This comes highly recommended by yours truly. Get your one click on. You won't regret it!!

'HURT TO LOVE:' Is a full length dark romance novel by new to me author Nikki J. Summers. Spoken in 'Dual Perspectives.'
Wowza's this was definitely not what I was expecting!! And it definitely kicked my reading slump to the curb!!
This could've been darker than what it was with the subject matter it centered on but it was just enough to keep my dark heart happy, throw in some nail biting times that came at me which had me sitting on the edge of my seat, those I also wasn't expecting!! This will tick a lot of readers boxes.
I loved the slow burn with our characters, it just came natural, add in Cill's quirky personality made for a thoroughly enjoyable read!! His arrogant give no sh#ts attitude warmed me towards him in a heartbeat! He's the type of guy you'd want in your corner
When it came to our girl 'Wednesday' oh my her story was on another level, broken but not defeated, treated no better than a dog, my heartbeat picked up a time or two with what she endured at the hands of two psychotic brother's. How she survived as long as she did without breaking showed her strength.
I loved having a front row seat when it came to her healing progress, and what final broke the camel's back and got our heroine talking.
If your wanting to sink your teeth into something a little bit more unique then this book is for you, just be aware that it is semi dark.

'IN THE GARDEN OF DISCONTENT' Is a suspenseful, full length dark romance book by Author Lily White. Spoken in 'Dual Perspectives. Flits from 'Past to Present' fluidly.
ONE WORD!! ➤HolySHIT!! This book deserves my full five star rating! No one is going to be prepared for this story!! I'm going to make this review as vague as I can, because you truly need to go into this one blind.
This book is not going to be for everyone mainly because of some of the subject matter disclosed but omg it just made for a truly unique, unpredictable, raw, heartbreaking and utterly riveting read! This book pulled me out of my 4 star drought!
It was everything I could’ve wished for and more! An unconventional love story, two lost souls bound by their unbreakable bond over burying a feral cat at the ages ten and eleven, the new boy in town, and a girl chained by her mother's despicable treatment of her, a boy who strived to protect her and loved her unconditionally. Oh how this story broke my heart.
I’ve never loved two characters more than I have these two, I just wanted to wrap them up in cotton wool and hide them from the horrors this author put them through.
“If you need somewhere to go, you can run to me. even if just for an hour. I'll leave my window open and turn the lamp on when my mother isn't home. That way you know we won't get in trouble.”
Noah, a gentle boy, a caring boy, a boy who loved so much, but above it all he was a pillar of strength. He had so much to give.
A love that knew no bounds. Best friends. Soul mates.
Ensley, the life she endured broke my heart, imprisoned within the walls of her childhood home only to keep her siblings safe. Words can’t describe how much I felt whilst reading how she was mistreated. She truly thought she was undeserving of love, to be the laughing stock of the town.

'DIRTY GIRLS' Is a full length suspenseful dark read by Author Lily White. Spoken in 'Dual Perspective.' Olive aka Olly & Soren.
I have no idea what in the actual f#ck I just read!! Or even how to go about the writing up of this review! But what a crazy nail biting ride this one turned out to be! This book took me down a path I was not prepared for!! Straight away I was pulled into the sadistic games these boys play! Bodies of mutilated girls turning up, killer unknown, the FBI has their eye on someone, but are they wrong?
The mind games these boys played, so warped, so twisted, so f#cked up, girls and boys alike pledging themselves to the boys who rule the town with an iron fist.
So many twists and turns, so many times I thought I'd nailed down who the killer was only to be wrong!! This book keeps you on your toes and guessing throughout. The outcome was mind blowing!
It all started many years previously when a local girl was found dead and mutilated, the killer had never been brought to justice. Many think that Soren Callahan the man that's been serving time behind bars was the guilty party. And now that he's been released back into the world not that long after he's settling back into civilian life the murders start up again, each one more gruesome than the last.
Olive Reid is a senior at Winter Ridge Prep, on an academic scholarship in a small town nestled close to Seattle, where only the rich spoiled teens resided.
Olive refused to play the game like the rest of her comrades and adamantly refused to pledge which set her apart from the rest of her peers. She'd always been attracted to Soren Callahan, the King of Winter Ridge, who was also her brother Nolan's best friend.
He could stalk me, bully me, make demands and even clunk me over the head and drag me around like the cavemen he was, and I still wouldn't agree to be one of his groupies.
'KOYN (ROYAL BASTARDS MC)' Is a full length MC Dark Romance novel by K. webster. Spoken in 'Dual Perspectives.'
First off take a look at the genre, this genre pushes boundaries (MC) one where authors have free reign to let loose all their craziness, and this book is no different, if you have triggers this book may not be for you, because those triggers are going to be pushed. This was dark, disgusting, dirty, deadly. This woke up my dark little heart and it stood to attention.
The 'Prologue' sets us up for a dark gritty read where a mother and daughter die at the hands of a sadistic man associated with a biker gang all in the name of a job.
Ten years go by as Koyn gathers an army of brothers in arms, becoming the president of the Royal Bastards MC, alongside men that have his back, revenge paves his path to destruction as Koyn and his band of brothers hunt down the man responsible for killing his family, and anyone associated with that gang is destroyed.
Hadley is a runaway hiding from the horrors of her past life with her childhood boyfriend who is immersed within gang life run by his father.
Koyn and Hadley meet in unusual circumstances, and he takes her back to his club house mansion where he takes care of her like he would his own daughter if she were still alive. And vows to keep her safe until he can return her to her father.
Please just please don't call the guy you are sleeping with Daddy! Just no!! I cringed every single time!! It sent unwanted shivers down my back!! lol

‘VOLATILE WATERS’ is the fourth full length (INTERCONNECTED STANDALONE) novel by India R. Adams ‘Tainted Waters' series. This is Yury’s story.
We first met Yuri has a curious eight year old boy, not fully understanding the magnitude of what the basement entailed, only that half undressed woman were marched down there. No one asked me if I wanted ti live like this, with naked women in my home for the amusement of warped family members.
At the age of twelve Yury's life as he knew it was about to change..For the worst..What happens from this time onwards has a domino effect!!
I was raised to not view these humans as anything other than the means of success.
HOLY F#CKING SH#T!! That is all I have to say about this book..The end!! NOTHING could've prepared me for this book!! It was so WRONG on so many levels!!
My head and my heart were at war with each other!! I had nowhere to hide, I loved this but hated that I loved this so much!! Sick, Twisted, Raw, Sad, Dark, Gritty, Unputdownablethis book ticked all my dirty little dark boxes!!
This author has gone where not many choose to step, and she nailed it!! This story was so f#cked up, on so many levels. Many a time I had to step away from my kindle just to breathe, just to settle my broken heart, just to calm down before going back in. Everything this author threw at me I felt, god this book is going to stay with me for a very long time!!
I loved this so much that I one clicked ‘Blue waters’ which takes me right back to where it all started.
You know when your reading a book and you just don't connect with the hero at all, this was my biggest struggle with Yury, my heart went out to him when we're first introduced to him, losing his mother in such a despicable way got to me, but then as the years progressed we saw a cold, clinical robot taking shape, stealing unsuspecting girls off the streets, raping them, many times over, getting them ready for their new masters.
A rapist, A cold blooded killer, A Manipulator..
My heart closed up, I despised him for what he was doing, for what he subjected those people to, but then now and then you would see that little boy trying to escape the life he was forced to live. Can a leopard really change its spots? Because Yury (the boy with no name) He also lived in a prison. The only escape for him was through death..
Raised in a loveless trafficking household, it was all Yury knew..That by the end of it I was rooting for him, and that's where my head and my heart were at war. Such a f#cking mindF#ck of a book!!

Unique, Unputdownable, Unexpected, and Utterly Unpredictable..This author is Unstoppable!! .

We asked for DARK..Pepper Winters has delivered it!! How brave are you? Because without any warning your thrown into a dark, gritty place, it takes no prisoners, it's right up in your face and there is no escape!! Nothing will prepare you for this crazy dark ride!!
This was dirty, hot, dark, gritty, and left me panting for more.
The QUEEN of DARK is bacckkk!
When Eleanor was seventeen a teacher gave them a surprise pop quiz asking them to write about 'The worst thing that had ever happened to them, and how did you survive it?' what Eleanor wrote down that day was nothing compared to what's to come.
Now only four years later her answer to that pop quiz would be completely different.
Abducted..Sold..And gifted to a man who isn't just a man, he's a monster.
As Eleanor and her boyfriend of five months were staying in a backpackers hostel in Mexico she's taken by three men. Thrown into a stop over until she's sold. it's here where things start getting gritty and dark. The men who are holding her and others have no morals. To survive she has to dig deep.
We were being trafficked. We'd been stolen from different lives, stored in darkness, fed by beats, and now we'd been washed and prepared for sale.
Meet Sullivan Sinclair aka Sully owner of a beautiful island paradise. He purchases Goddesses to cater to the men that come to his island to indulge in all their darkest fantasies. He's never indulged or played with his purchases but when one girl steps onto his shores that meets every little requirement that could ever test him, it's her Eleanor.
Raw and untouched, she bristled with injustice and courage. She could be Artemis's reincarnation or perhaps Aphrodite's twin.
She's nothing like he expected, she's a spitfire, she fights him at every corner. She's not just a goddess she's a godman queen. And slowly she awakens something up within him. Something he's never felt before.
There was something...something ruthless and savage about him. Something instinctual that sensed predator from prey and firmly put him in the category of dangerous.

The cover alone was enough to put the shits up me!! And yet I was super excited to read this one!! Add in the authors note below that once it arrived on my kindle I said goodbye to life and inhaled this.
Authors note ➤ This is another reminder that it is not a romance book. There is no HEA. There is a conclusion. It is emotional and there are triggers.
LATER: So I’m sitting here minutes after reading ‘THE END’ with tears running down my face.
A few times I had to put this aside and breathe through it, like a dark heavy cloak of unfairness, the life Curtis was subjected to broke me in so many ways I lost count, a dead man walking waiting for this life to finally be over with, and whilst reading his story I connected with him, I wished for a better life for him, but sadly that’s not how this story goes.
There were so many wrongs in this book. And it all started with his parents. I can not for the life of me say one thing nice about his mother, sailor words are screaming through my mind but still they aren't despicable enough to describe her. She was on a whole new level of pure evil.
The injustice of what Curtis endured not only for a few days but throughout his life had my heart cracking.
You could empathize with him after so many beatdowns you could fully understand why he broke, because surely it was bound to happen. I don’t condone what he did like no one would but you can’t help but also feel deep sorrow for him.
This story was a train wreck, an emotional roller coaster that had me begging to be let off, I didn’t want to feel any more.
Tick Tock
Done!!
This is a real hard book to recommend because there is NO ROMANCE AT ALL!! There’s not even a unicorn farting glitter!! There will be some hard limits for some BUT if you’re a sick puppy like me and LOVE your boundaries pushed then YES prepare yourself for one CLUSTERFUCK of a fucked up, sick twisted, gut wrenching, emotional read!! Because this book will bring it!! This author literally broke my heart and didn't even stay around long enough to fix it!!
This book ticked all my dark twisted little boxes and then some it went where not many authors are brave enough to step. Soooo the question is. How brave are you?
The first book gave us a teaser taste of what’s to come, and once this hit those kindle outlets my finger eagerly hit that purFull RTC in the morning
The first book gave us a teaser taste of what’s to come, and once this hit those kindle outlets my finger eagerly hit that purchase button!!
We had a power cut yesterday so when I’m not distracted by the internet it just goes to show that I can read a full length novel in a day!!
There is no better feeling in the world other than opening up that first page of a most highly anticipated book and then getting so lost within those pages that the outside world ceases to exist, oh how I love this author! She just goes from strength to strength and makes me fall so deeply in love with each and every character she introduces me to. And that is why book after book she has me one clicking no matter what even if I’ve been granted an arc.
God how I loved this story, these characters. Shamelessly I inhaled this, devoured it, loved it. ...more
THE FALLEN: Genesis is a prequel novella in The Deadly Virtues Series and MUST be read before RAPHAEL (DV: book one).
Holyshitballs!! I am literally sitting here gobsmacked, there are NO WORDS to describe what I'd actually read!! So freaking GOOD!! Dark, but sick, gritty, but sad, twisted, but unputdownable. I felt all the emotions but LOVE!! There was no room for love in this book.
This right here was a small teaser taste of what's to come, and a whole lot of darkness is going to reign over all of us. Tillie has gone that wee bit darker, that wee bit sicker, and all our dark little souls are rejoicing!!
What I love the most about this author is you never really know what to expect, and nothing can prepare you for what she's going to throw at you, this book was no exception, everything she writes turns to gold, unique story after unique story and this one right here was no different. I can't even say that I'd connected with any of the characters because honestly I didn't, I don't think any readers will, though they will have empathy for Gabriel and his fight against humanity to save his brother. But along the way he encounters other boys just like his brother that above all else he swears to protect.
The fallen forgotten boys consist of: Gabriel, Raphael, Selaphiel, Barachiel, Jegudiel, Uriel and Michael (Gabriel's blood brother)
Holy Innocents was an off the grid home and school for innocent orphaned children in Boston, Massachusetts, run by priests. This is where Gabriel and Michael found themselves at a very young age when their mother died and left them all alone in the world. Since then Gabriel has had one purpose in life other than serving god and that was to take care of his younger brother Michael.
But within their walls life isn't so innocent, within the confines of the church there are seven Seven Deadly Archangels residing within. They have a penchant to kill, it runs through their bloodstream they are hungry for blood.

‘ABATTOIR’ Is a dark romance novel by authors K. Larsen & Yolanda Olsen, this is Bishop's and Josi's story.
Confession time, soooooo I kind of went into this blind, like literally blind, so there I was sitting with my cup of coffee in hand, reading the synopsis for the first time, *Yes I'm that kind of reader* I liked the sound of it so was in my happy place A love story about Josi & Bishop, ✔️✔️
BUT As I progressed further into the book I realised it’s M/M holy f#cking sh#t, it’s not really a genre I’ve read before, like EVER am I out of my comfort zone f#ck to the yes. Am I a prude!?! looks up to the ceiling, shrugs *GULPS* But pulling up my big girl panties I carried on.
[image]
Bishop is a handsome much older distinguished man, he's got the salt and pepper hair going on, and with the perfect sexy crinkle around his eyes. He's the glue of their relationship. Then we have Josiah, he's the man child in the relationship, he's much younger, eighteen years younger to be exact, but he has a need to please and submit to Bishop on all levels. These two really do love each other and that really jumps out at you.
And then Oh god!! WTF!! Because progressing further into this book my insides got all twisted up over a scene, I wanted to jump in the book and grab the little monster, this was so much more than what I expected it was going to be, nothing's really going to prepare you for this book, it's dark, but not extremely so, it's kind of gritty, it's twisted and sick and it's beyond f#cked up, I don't know what else to tell you without divulging spoilers..
And lets just say it's not a book you'd discuss in your vanilla book club because they sure will look at you funny and maybe lock the door next meet 🤷♀️But anyways good luck..Hope your as sick as me and end up enjoying it as much as I did. And oh lordy I'll be kind of looking at our local butcher sideways from now on!!
This was really well written, you can't pick up where one author left off and the other came in, it flowed perfectly, you kind of connect with the characters hmmmm scrub that maybe not, I fully connected with the crazy ride these two took me on over anything else and I hope they co-write something else again in the future.
“ When we all decided to give ourselves nicknames because we hated our real names, I came up with Rella because I hoped my prince would save me one“ When we all decided to give ourselves nicknames because we hated our real names, I came up with Rella because I hoped my prince would save me one day. ”

'KEY TO HELL' is the final conclusion in Alex Grayson's 'Hell Night, #4' series. It picks up where the third book left off. This is Emo's and Rella's story. Spoken in 'Dual POV's'
PAST: “ Rella and I were a year apart. Her brother was my brother, so she was my sister. We all played together, along with JW and Juge. We were close and we trusted each other. I've known Rella my whole life. To hurt her in such a way shredded something inside me. ”
🙌EMO 🙌This book right here was my most highly anticipated book so far within the series. There was just something so dark, broken and damaged within Emo, that called to me, I needed to read his story. No one could get through to him and I was just hoping that the girl he thought was dead would be the only one that could break down his walls. He was like a safe that she only had the combination to. The key that marred his body with scars. The key he holds on to, the one he uses to carve into his flesh, is the key to his hell. That key has a deeper darker meaning than even I could fathom, and the tattoos which covered a majority of his body told their own story. The craving for pain, salvation. A bloodbath of retribution. Get ready to have your heart ripped out and stomped on!!
I don't feel compassion or pity or concern toward people. But Rella is different. I feel everything for her. I feel so damn much that it's overwhelming, and I don't know what to do with all the emotions.
Rella needs stability, comfort, and family right now. I'm about as stable as a house of cards during a windstorm.
God I don't even know how to go about writing up my review, so many emotions raced through my system whilst reading this, both utterly and brutally damaged seemly beyond repair. Their story could've gone either way.
Key to Hell literally put me through the paces, my heart more than once broke into smithereens, these two were quite possibly the most affected by their ordeal. Even though this was my most highly anticipated read I had a lot of trepidation going into this because I knew it would be brutal reading and I wasn't wrong.
This author cemented yet again why she became one of my favourite authors, this series just sealed the deal even more. These characters will forever have a piece of my heart. To say I loved this book, this series is an understatement, no words can really convey who much I loved it. I'm just thankful that she shared these words with her fans because this series is one of my most top favourites of all time.

MY REVIEW AND OTHERS: can also be found on my blog: ➽ KITTY KATS CRAZY ABOUT BOOKS
[image]
This may be Judge's story but it's so much more than that, this is about a band of brothers, they may not be blood but they are as close as ones can be. They protect the innocent and take out the bad. Welcome to Malus. A town shrouded in secrecy, a town that doesn't welcome newcomers with open arms.
❝ Each person we take out deserves nothing less. They prey upon the weak and destroy lives. They break into homes, rape and beat innocent people. They kidnap them and hold them hostage, inflicting permanent damage to their minds and bodies. .❞
Twelve years ago Judge had to let the love of his life Ellie go, no explanation, he treated her like crap, and like yesterday's garbage he threw her away. The consequences of his actions that night so many years ago had a domino effect that not only hurt Ellie but will come back and haunt Judge for the rest of his life. Even though they were only in a relationship for six months, she became the love of his life, his obsession, she gave her virginity to him, and from that point onwards was hoping to build their lives into so much more.
But that's not how this story goes..YET..
❝ We weren't together that long, but from the moment I saw him, I thought he was the one. I fell in love with him hard and fast, pictured a future with him. I thought he felt the same.❞
❝ He's the only one who can make me feel like I'm floating on air. Send electric tingles through every fibre of my body. Make my stomach dip and clench with desire and my mind incoherent of anything else around me. ❞
Now she's back asking him for a favour, a matter of life or death, one that he agrees to without hesitation.
I tiptoed into this one with a lot of unease, only because I wasn't looking that forward to his story as I previously was, I always felt that connection he had towards Jenny, I thought it was stepping in the right direction with those two, I could feel their feelings progressing into more, or maybe that was just wishful thinking on my part. But then we saw how that ended and it got me a bit worried where the author was going to take us with his story. So when we're introduced to a brand spanking new character I can't say I was openly thrilled. But I knew in a ways that that was where the author was going because he hadn't established any sort of deep feelings for the other woman in the standing arrangement they had, he was content but not what one would call happy.
All that aside I did enjoy this story, I'm a sucker for second chance romances and I'm glad this is the journey the author took me on, even though it was unexpected. So I kind of forgave her for all of the above lol. As with the previous book I love how this author incorporates a tad of darkness and grittiness for all us dark hearted peeps, throw in a bit of romance and it's the perfect balance.
Then you reach that ending, my palms got sweaty, my heart started racing, the new comer coming at us in book#4 is who I was exactly praying, hoping, waiting for. The next book is going to be epic!! And what a way to wrap up this unputdownable series!! If you've not read this series, stop what you are doing, head off to Amazon and start one clicking, this series is not one you want to miss out on.
I don't even know how to go about writing up this review solely for the reason being that I'm flabber

A love that never should have been...
I don't even know how to go about writing up this review solely for the reason being that I'm flabbergasted, one thing on repeat is the question 'What in all the fuck did I just read?" My hat goes off to these two authors for bringing us this book, because wowzas this is one mother fucker of a fucked up read.
She may have a shit ton of demons wrecking havoc inside of her, but so do I.
It's definitely not for the faint of heart, nothing really prepared me for what I encountered. It’s dark, sick, twisted, gritty, brutal, a blood bath of madness at its best, a few times even I cringed and shuddered my way through it. If you somehow connected with these two characters you are one very sick bastard and you need therapy!! Just saying!! sorry not sorry!! I did not connect with them on any level!! But like a train wreck I found myself not able to put this down. I read it in one sitting. 0800#Therapy
But like the sick puppy I am I can't wait to see what's install for us next....more
“You look like a fucking ghost. You're hair’s all white and shit, with you pale ass skin, and you’re so tiny, you’re like barely even there.”
’TRACES OF HER’ Is a full length dark romance novel by new to me author C.M. Radcliff. Traces of Her is Griffin & Rowena story. Spoken in Dual POV's.
We're first introduced to a ten year old Rowena who witnessed her best friend get tragically killed, this tragic accident was the catalyst that set the whole ball rolling. A year goes by and the first anniversary of her lost friends life is also when Rowena is stripped of everything, even her own identity has been taken away from her leaving her a cold shell that barely even recognises herself. Years go by..Survival is her constant companion, freedom is a fond memory that she clings to in the dead of night.
The longer time went on, the farther away I drifted from life; from an identity.
Biding her time she escapes with barely her life in tact, but freedom isn't hers to have just yet, the cards she's been dealt haven't stopped playing with her just yet. Things are going to get even more fucked up, it's around this time she meets Griffin a forensic psychologist, he's just as broken and lost as she is, he's fighting his own demons, blood stains his hands in the name of his brother Jared who kidnapped Rowena because she was witness to a crime he committed.
Survival instinct kicks up a notch and Griffin and Rowena are a force to be reckoned with, together they must get out of the shit hole they have found themselves in. A sit on your edge of your seat adrenaline spiked as you root for these two to get their HEA.
Holy Sh#t!! I’m sitting her mouth open, reeling over what I’ve just read, I feel like I’ve been run over by a Mac truck and pulled through a hedge backwards!! This book is not for the faint of heart, it’s dark, gritty, raw, disturbing, my mind is all over the place, this was one f#cked up read!! Even through the darkest of times love won the battle, but it took a long time to get us to that place, chaos, mayhem, murder, kidnapping, it all went down in a fast octane ride of pure darkness. Brace yourselves for one crazy ride!!
