•Book Review• Devils With Halos by Natalie Bennett!

Synopsis

Ma-lig-nant

Adjective.

1. Malevolent

2. Very virulent or infectious.

Charm is deceptive.

We were taken in the middle of the night.

Beauty is deceitful.

They called it an institution for the diseased.

Freedom is an illusion.

Our choices were no longer our own.

Our bodies became their exclusive property.

Our lives no longer mattered.

Survival is subjective.

We’d all done terrible things.

We all had demons.

We all had secrets.

And the truth would destroy everything.

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This series seems like it’s going to be good! The first book has me hooked. I want to know all the secrets! Ryker is manipulative and I’m really interested in seeing how everything will turn out. I can’t wait to read Camilla and Bishop’s story!

Depravity by Natalie Bennett book review!

Synopsis

I was born an ordinary girl with a tiny seed of sickness.

As I got older, it grew bigger, manifesting into something sinister.

Mama told me to lock it away and let it wither.

I didn’t know how.

So I hid it.

Solitude became my closest companion.

Solo, single, lonely.

Until Declan.

Until Ethan.

They were drawn to my sickness like moths to a flame.

With them, I was nurtured into something special.

With them, I flourished in depths of decay and darkness.

Contains menage (m-m/m-f-m/m-m-f.)

Standalone.

*Usually would insert warning here*

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book was crazy good! The drama, twists and turns were amazing. Everyone was crazy and I loved it lol! Helena likes to fix things and Ethan and Declan don’t mind helping her get her “fix”. Natalie has become one of my favorite dark romance authors. If you love dark and twisted romances then I definitely recommend this one!

ARC Review: Enslaved by Sansa Rayne

Synopsis

“They may own me, but they’ll never control me.”

QUINN

I tried running, but he followed me. I hid, but he found me. I couldn’t escape, so I defended myself. Now he’s in a coma, and I’m in prison.

Except, the Walker Center isn’t a normal jail. In here, inmates work. Twelve hours a day, every day. If we misbehave, vicious guards punish us. They strip away our dignity, turn us against each other and rob us of our sanity. No one leaves, except as property.

My only hope may be Reed Nolan, an unapologetic sadist on a mission to break my spirit. He torments me every day, delighting in my pain. Defying him awakens intoxicating, dark desires. My perverse need to be dominated becomes my secret weapon, with every stroke of his whip powering my will to survive, to fight the evil of this place.

My captors are going to pay for what they’ve done. I want to open Reed’s eyes, to turn him against the monster he serves, but if I can’t, I won’t let anyone stand in my way…

“The truth may set you free, but it’ll still hurt.”

REED

I don’t know what to expect when I walk into Galleria Carnale. When I see her wanton depravity, served with a dash of crazy, I know I’ve met my match in Sibel Isaacs. Only one problem: she knows who I am and what I do for a living. Convincing her I’m not the man she thinks isn’t easy, but she’s worth it: beautiful and fearless, willing to try anything. How could I resist?

But she doesn’t know the pain still smoldering from my past. She has no idea I owe a debt to a monster – one I helped create. I’ve fought for years to keep his dark urges at bay, but he’s just waiting for a reason to give into temptation – and now he’s obsessed with Sibel.

Soon, watching won’t be enough. If I don’t stop him, he’ll hurt her. But if I tell her everything, the truth could cut far deeper…

Publisher’s note: “Enslaved” is a dark, romantic thriller with explicit sexual content, no cliffhangers, no cheating and a HEA. It contains material some may find disturbing. Reader discretion is advised.

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a dark, twisted and suspenseful book. Quinn accidentally puts the guy who tried to violate her in a coma and is tricked into going to Walker Center where you’re basically a slave waiting to be bought. I loved Quinn she was strong and brave considering her situation. Reed kind of got on my nerves because of how upset he was over his “friend” that even when he thought back on their interactions wasn’t really a friend. He got better when he came to his senses lol. I thought the book was well written even though sometimes it was too much for me.

*Received ARC for honest review 💙

Bloodstained Beauty by Ella Fields!

Synopsis

Fresh out of college and headed straight for my dream job, I didn’t think things could get any better.

Then I met my dream man.

In an instant, my happy ever after had begun.

The life I’d stumbled into was beautiful, and the man I loved was perfect.

But perfection comes at a cost, and I’d slumbered through all the alarms.

Then I met my nightmare.

The man whose bright eyes held untamed darkness.

The man who disarmed me with his peculiar behavior.

The man whose cold, merciless hands shook me awake.

In an instant, questions started to dismantle my happy ever after.

But whoever said the truth would set you free was wrong.

It wasn’t going to repair the cracks in my naive heart.

It wasn’t going to caress my face with comforting hands and reassure me it was all just a dream.

No, the truth shoved me down a rabbit hole, and I landed in the lair of a real-life monster.

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dove and her Monster. This dark romance was a page turner for sure! Once I started reading I couldn’t put it down, it was so intense. The drama and secrets that came to light had me clutching my pearls😂😂. Jemima’s world is turned upside down when her fairytale turns out to be a lie and a monster has his sights set on her. I enjoyed reading this and definitely recommend if you like dark romances.

Heathens by Natalie Bennett!

When everything I know teeters on the verge of going up in flames, the only girl I tried to save, may end up saving me. Blue Old soul. Selfless. Unusually stable.

Heathens is book 4 in the bestselling Badlands series. This is a complete story with no cliffhanger, however, books 1-3 must be read prior.

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved this dark and twisted series and I can’t wait to read about the next generation! Cobra and Blue have been to heck and back but they find a calm with each other. At first, I didn’t think Blue would fit with Cobra’s type of crazy but they did work. I love how the Savages look out for each other even when one of them is in denial!

-Zebadiah-
The last time her, she was marked with blood.
Excommunicated,
Now she’s returned, along with my temptation.
Our touch is blasphemous,
Perverse.
They say she’s tainted, but they will not speak against me.
His holy blood is in my veins and my word is truth.
I’m the fucking Prophet.

Laurel Ann
For twelve years, I fought for my soul in this evil world.
Until my God sent him.
My oldest friend. The only boy I ever loved.
What we’re doing risks everything, yet we can’t stop.
When I sin with him, it’s the purest I’ve ever felt.
I lived half my life with the Philistines and I know what they call us.
Cult. Freaks. Fanatics.
But they’re wrong,. We aren’t any of those things.
For we are the Anointed.

The book was well written but it just wasn’t for me. The synopsis drew me in. I’ve read books with cults in them that I’ve enjoyed and was really into but I couldn’t get into this one. I really liked the cover.

Outcasts by Natalie Bennett!

Synopsis

*Grimm*

Pariah.

Dark Messiah.

Harbinger of death.

My reputation has always preceded me.

I’m a brother to the queen of the Badlands.

I’m one of the few confidants to her fiancé–the devil himself.

And those whispered rumors that I’m a silent killer, a true harvester of souls?

They’re true.

People never see me coming. I don’t discriminate, I show no mercy, and I feel no remorse.

My only loyalty is to my family and when someone important to them goes missing, I vow to do whatever is necessary to track her down and bring her back.

But the person I find is not the same woman who was stolen away.

Something’s different about her.

Something I find myself drawn to as we fight our way back to hell.

*Arlen*

Stubborn.

Reckless.

Original family disappointment.

My reputation has never preceded me.

I’m supposed to be this spoiled, rich b*tch who does everything her daddy tells her.

I was forbidden to even think about the Badlands.

But money means nothin to me and my paradise was a pretty cage I refused to be trapped in.

I fought my way out, I found a new family, and even though sh*t got tough sometimes it all worked out in the end.

And then I got kidnapped.

I thought it was over for me.

I almost broke.

I should have known he would never let that happen.

And I should have realized something inside me had shifted.

Maybe then I’d have seen the signs that I was falling for an irredeemable man.

A man who taught me that there was power in taking away a life.

A man who showed me just how beautiful hell truly was.

It’s only fair I warn you that this is not a story about a rescued damsel in distress.

This is a story about what happens when a man who collects souls finally meets his match.

This book can be read as a standalone but I recommend starting Savages & Deviants first.

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Grimm and Arlen are adorable in a twisted way and I just loved them! Those savages don’t play when it comes to their women! Book 3 is just as compelling as book 1! This dark and twisted series is awesome! I can’t wait to read Cobra’s story!!
