This book is dark. Even after finishing this book I can't get it out of my head. It was that good. Dark and twisted good. There's moments when I wanted him to get caught but by the end of the book I wanted to keep going on his journey with him. How fucked up is that? I'm not sure but, I really enjoyed this short story.

I don't want to say 2.5 stars or anything, I just want to say between those two.
Just a quick bio of the book. Rae stea Rating between 2 to 3 stars.
I don't want to say 2.5 stars or anything, I just want to say between those two.
Just a quick bio of the book. Rae steals money from her boss/suppose to be partner so she stole the money/got into a very bad investment deal so she stole the money. Got it? Ya... Oh yeah... His name is Sam.
Sam finds out and decided not to turn her in. Instead he wants her to be his sex slave for 30 days. They fucked once but Rae wasn't into the whole bondage thing that Sam was trying to move them towards so they stopped... Well, anyhow Rae agrees to be his sex slave for those 30 days.
"My word, once we cross the threshold of my house, will become your law. You will exist solely to serve and please me. You will give up all free will. You will be my possession to use as I see fit."
My mind might be all fucked up so who knows. I do not believe that he raped her like is she is trying to tell off from her POV. She agreed to his sex slave for 30 days. I am taking that as she agreed to have sex with him for those 30 days. Yeah it's fucked up but hey, you did the crime so he is making you pay the time....
So, yeah I like how the whole story line was developed. I had a major issue with the POV's. You get both Rae and Sams. I do not mind this at all. But, it become an issue for me when I am reading in Rae's POV then the next sentence it's in Sam's. I was getting confused on who's head I was in so I would have to read that whole paragraph again. I'm not sure if it's the authors writing is why it was becoming that way or simply the format on my Kindle that was messing with me.
I was also becoming bored with the characters. I liked them in a way from the beginning then I started to get bored after the couple of days in the book. I didn't develop any sort of pull to them again till around over half way through the book when everything was crashing down on them.
I will read more from this author because from looking at her other books they do look good.

This is the 3rd book in the Held Series. It can be read as a standalone, but I would recommend reading this after the first two book. The first book iThis is the 3rd book in the Held Series. It can be read as a standalone, but I would recommend reading this after the first two book. The first book is Held, the second book is Pushed.
The first two book I loved! I mean those are really good books, and I am always recommending them to people who want something really dark.
This book you start off with a young journalist wanting to write an article about Lester Wine, he is a serial killer, got caught and is telling the young journalist about all of his sick twisted stories, on how he killed hookers.
At first going into this book I wasn't sure what to expect. The main character Ron in the first two books is no where to be found. I had no idea where he was or if he was perhaps Lester, I had no clue. I just continued to read this book and felt disappointed. Like I said, I was not sure what I was getting but I wanted more. It was not as slasher as the other two books and gory. It felt kind of held back a little. I did not see the point in this book once I finished it. (view spoiler)[ When at the end reading that Ron was the journalist, I thought really? That was it, this is how he became the guy you are in the past two books. It was a waste. It kind of makes me change the way I think and feel for Ron now. He is fucking crazy of course, but he's just a follower and not the full blown psycho leader I thought he would be. lol. Totally might not make sense. (hide spoiler)] Honestly this book left me with more questions than answers.
This review will be completely spoiler free. I will just share my feelings on the book, but will not go into any sort of detail on what the book is about. You read the blurb, if not here it is.
They call me a slut. Maybe I am. Sometimes I do things I despise. Sometimes men take without asking.
But I have a musical gift, only a year left of high school, and a plan. With one obstacle.
Emeric Marceaux doesn’t just take. He seizes my willpower and bangs it like a dark note. When he commands me to play, I want to give him everything. I kneel for his punishments, tremble for his touch, and risk it all for our stolen moments.
He’s my obsession, my master, my music. And my teacher.
"They're dark and hypnotic, like your breaths and your heartbeats."
Sounds pretty HOT right? I've been waiting for a book like this for a very long time. I love forbidden romance books, I love the build up I get from those book, the innocent touches, the way the characters feel about each other, even though they shouldn't.
I love the way Pam built this book up, it was set up perfectly and gave me exactly what I wanted and needed in a book. She has a way with her writing that is almost poetic, I felt myself just let go reading away for hours and then realized that I had nothing else to read. But that being said, (I was one of the beta readers for this book, so I was given this book in sections till I finally got the whole thing, Pam can be evil like that.) :)
Like life has handed me a song filled with soul-deep joy and told me to savor every note. Because eventually, the song will end.
Pam has not limits to writing, I have noticed that now in the last couple of her books. She is fucking genius for sure, I have known this since I met her. But her writing, it fucking pulls you in and you won't stop until you finish the book, and even after that I am still stuck on this book. Major book hanger for sure! It has been a while since I read a book that drew me in the way this one did.
The characters are amazing, they fit perfectly together! As you know this is a student teacher romance, and it isn't like any student teacher romance I have read. This one has such passion in every single page, you feel EVERY single thing just as they do. Its captivating. I am in AWE of Pam right now. I found everything I wanted in a book and more. I feel in love with these characters. It's just PERFECT! I applaud you, Pam you have created a freaking master piece and can not wait to see what the hell else you will be coming up with!
I am very happy to say, I was one of the beta readers for this book.

Take the Heat is an Anthology. 11 dark, sexy stories. The last anthology I read it was kind of blah. I find myself either loving a few short stories out of the bunch and the rest are just plain either boring or not my cup of tea. I sometimes find my self wanting more out of the one I like to the point where they deserve their own full length book.
Below is the ratings for each of the books and some of them have a little side note.
The Magnolia Hotel by Skye Warren- 4 stars I really liked this one. This one made me want to have it as a full length novel.
Unlawful Seduction by Pam Godwin- 4 stars I adore Pam's writing. This is a strong story that I would want to read again. Maybe even longer or better yet make another short story on what happens next. It kept me wanting to know more.
Slipknot by Sheri Savill- 2 stars in beginning then leaned towards 3 stars at the end. This one reminds me of a bad porno. The way that it took place was just not my cup of tea at all. "You're going to pay for that skirt you stole now. Just not...in cash." UMMM Yeah. I was not feeling it and didn't make sense. But, once I finished it, it was like ohhh I get it now.
Captivated by Cynthia Rayne- 4 stars Another one that I would love for it to be longer or add another short story or have it as it's own book. It captured me very quickly and leaving me wanting more.
This Might Hurt a Bit by Shoshanna Evers- 2 1/2 stars
The Bombshell by Candy Quinn- 3 stars
Playing with Fire by Tamsin Flowers- 4 stars This is something I would love to read more of. It left it hanging for more. The main character I adored her. I wanted to get more out the book then the short story. She is the type of character that I would want to read a whole book about. I think she has a future in as a Domme.
Disposing of Donnie by Elizabeth Coldwell- 3 stars
The darkness either lures you in slowly or captures your full attention right off the bat. I truly liked this anthology. There are so many twist and turns in each story that none of them are alike. I like some of them more than the other, but also there are some that I really loved. I would recommend this to dark lovers who want to read short stories back to back.

After finishing, Held (the first book) I was not sure what to expect from this one. I loved the first one and it was so awesome, crazy, sick, twisted, dark. It was that good. Now moving into this one, I felt sick to my stomach from the beginning. Fucking Ron, and his sick twisted self. We not only get Nicole's POV in this one like we did the last but, we also get the privilege to be in the psychopath him self, Ron. Just getting his POV and what drives him to do the things that he does, and how he gets off on it, with all the details, SO MANY DETAILS , it was almost too much. This book is not as fucked up as the first one but it is still up there. Every time I was in, Ron's head I just kept thinking OMG what is he going to do now.
This is the aftermath of Held, Nicole is almost as strong as she was in the first book. But, her mind is fucked up. From everything that happened in the first book it's like you are living it with her all over again with everything she is going through at the moment.
I almost felt bad for, Ron. There were moments when I did feel bad. Thought that he could change. But, that is not possible. He is that bad.
The authors writing again was brilliant. She sure does know how to get into your head and don't let go till the end. This might be messed up but those two books are one of my favorite reads this year. Yeah... That is pretty messed up. I am looking forward to reading more from this author. If it is anything like this I need to read her books in sections and depending on my mood at the time.
I got this book recommended to me from a friend, the lovely Miss actually. Read the blurb and got it right then and thought I would read it one day soon. Well, I started it today and finished it the same day. I needed something dark, I mean really dark, and I heard it's fucking dark. It lived up to every fucking darkness I had in me at the moment and went beyond that.
This book is for sure not for the faint of heart. This is not a romance book, there is no rainbows coming to you at anytime. This book is fucking dark, horror, thriller. It will not leave you with a happy feeling at all. It's so fucked up that I feel like I should take a couple of days off, and just think what I want to do with my life. But no I want to jump right in an write my review. I needed to write it while it's fresh. Just saying fresh is eating at me right now. UGH. I hate the word fresh already.
Okay.... This book starts off with the abduction right off the bat. Nicole is a mother, and a wife, she is kidnapped and taken to a home. His name is Ron. Ron well seems kind of, I don't really know at first. He just seemed okay lets make some sandwiches and talk type of kidnapper. I thought there was something wrong with the guy but who knows. I didn't even know what I was in for at all. Ron, is keeping Nicole there because he wants to write a book since his last one pretty much ate shit. He wants to write a best selling book. Instead of writing fiction he wants to write true shit that is happening right now. And guess what? Nicole, is the main character. Yep..
Ron is a psychopath. Simple at that. I thought so within the first 30 minutes while reading it. This mother fucker is off his rocker. I can't express that enough. There were times where I was laughing my ass off with some of the shit that, Ron was saying. It's that crazy. But then it turned into a different ball game when Ron just started going fucking crazier. I was afraid for my life while reading this book.
Nicole I must admit. She is a wonderful character. She never once broke. Never did she just give up. There was always fighting with her but she picked her battles and at some cases they probably weren't the best choice but I get it.
I had to at least stop reading once just to gather my self. It just kept getting worse. So fucking worse that I didn't even know the outcome of it. Blow after blow it just kept eating at me. I could not stop reading though. I so want to read something fluffy but I don't think I can do it. I want to read the sequel bad. I feel like a piece of me just wants something light right now to get my sanity back on track but, the other part of me is like, it's far gone right now mid as well lose the rest of it.
This book is very graphic. If you cannot handle gore type of shit or your stomach is weak for some very graphic scenes then, this might be your cup of tea. I thought at one point that this has push my limits but nope, I guess I need more punishment cause looks like I just got the second book and getting ready to start it tomorrow....
This book is amazing though. Out of all that I have said it is amazing. The writing captured me from the beginning and didn't let me go even after the end. The author has a real craft at writing a mind blowing dark, horror, thriller that kept me handcuffed at the end of my seat never letting me lose again... It's that good and fucked up. If you think you can handle a book like this then I would highly recommend it.
This is a short book. I was surprised how short it was. I wish it would have been longer cause, I felt kind of rush in it. But, then again I did get This is a short book. I was surprised how short it was. I wish it would have been longer cause, I felt kind of rush in it. But, then again I did get about 4 different POV's. I usually don't mind the multiple POV's unless, I feel there was no need from them, and honestly I see 2 POV's that I feel do not need to be there.
I am not going to go into the whole story since it is short and that would just pretty much just tell you the whole thing. I will say that Aaron has been sold/abducted. Vincent is a evil man who probably needs his head cut off. But I like him. Is it wrong for me to like the guy that is horrible and evil in this book? Probably but I don't care. I seem to always go for the BAD guys. And Vince is pretty bad I might say so.
Warning though- This book contains rape, drug addiction, gang rape, abuse.
I did find some errors in the writing but not something that would make me want to lower my rating for. I do know that this book hooked me. There is a second book already out which I will be starting once I finish this review. This book is really good. I enjoyed it that's for sure. It is dark, twisted, fucked up. It can get pretty brutal which I was totally fine with. I had no issues regarding that but like I said in the warning above not for the faint of heart.
The end though. I did have an issue with the end. I felt it was cheesy. I didn't like the end. It's hard to express without giving anything away so do not click spoiler unless you have read the book. (view spoiler)[ I don't like Sebastian nor Eric. I feel that there is no point for them to be in the book at all. I know this is totally fucked up on my part but I wish the beginning with Sebastian was the only part of him in the book and left it as that. I like Vince, I want Vince to come through for me and I want him to end up taking Aaron like how I want him too. But Sebastian and Eric are fucking up with my game plan I have in my mind. (hide spoiler)] Ya... I am not sure what is going to happen in the next book. There are about 3 maybe 4 ways I can see it ending but who knows.
This is not a typical m/m romance. This is on the bit of the dark side for sure. And you know me w 5 heart breaking, gut-wrenching, beautiful stars.
This is not a typical m/m romance. This is on the bit of the dark side for sure. And you know me when it comes to my dark book I have to read them. I was really intrigued since it was a m/m also. I haven't read a m/m dark book yet. This is a first for me and will not be the last. Something about this book drew me too it and I bought it right away and started it that very night. When a title like The Darker Side of Trey Grey pops out, it catches my attention and I am very glad I picked it up.
As I was saying this is not your typical m/m romance in anyway shape or form. Warning though this book includes Rape, Child Molestation, prostitution, among other things. Does it get pretty graphic? I would like to say at some parts yes it does. Did it make me want to stop reading it, hell no. When Trey Grey comes into a story he captures my entire attention on every page. He is very hard not to read even though 90% of the time I just wanted to hold him down and hug him to wash out all of his worries.
I really, really, love this book deeply down to my breaking heart.
Trey Grey, how do I even start to put this boy into words. Trey, he is a prostitute, this is all he knows. He is also a college student that suffers from severely OCD. He has been sexual abused since he was a kid. Has been prostituted out as a young boy by the very person who should be caring for him. Trey is so broken almost beyond repair. Almost! He is the one that breaks my heart through out he entire story while reading this. You just hurt for everything that he has ever been through.
It's so hard not to fall in love with Trey. Living his life day by day with nightmare, reminders, OCD freak outs. It is almost like what else can happen to his poor guy. *HUGS TREY*
One day at a restaurant he meets Justin. Trey feels a attraction for Justin but nothing serious at first. He has never been close to anyone and you can blame him for feeling this way. Trey and Justin head over to a house party and hit it off pretty well I might say so myself.
Not only does Trey have his own demons battling him every single day, so does Justin. Justin has his own battles, history, mental illness. These two are so fucked up that they are perfect for each other really. It seems like they are just a disaster waiting to explode and trust me it does. The things they both go through to be together is unreal. I really does make me what to hug them both tightly and fight off all their battles for them.
Given these two characters they are perfect in their own way and makes me love them even more. God, I love this book. The author did a amazing job writing this book. This is in Trey's POV only. There will be a sequel from what I seen on the authors page suppose to be released this year. Fingers cross.
After reading this book I am anxiously waiting for what is to come with Trey and Justin. I need to know what is going to happen next. There are so many things that were left unanswered, so many details that I need to know and find out. I just have to have the next book. So, yes I will be stalking the authors blog waiting to see what she is going to do with these two. It's fucking hard seating here thinking about it when I need the damn book now. UGH! That is a good UGH. I just want the next book. I would highly recommend this to those that like m/m and like it on the dark side.
First off you will need to read The Devil's Kiss Trilogy first before reading The Devil's Salvation.

There were some moments when I wanted to kick the shit out of Gage, in the first books. I still felt that way in this book also. BUT I wanted drop to my knees for this man at the sametime. He frustrates me sometimes. He has changed quite a bit in this book. He made some changes. But, he also did not change. He knows what he wants and will not take no for an answer. He will just do it. Taking away Kayla's choices once again. Kayla wants that though, I feel. She wants someone who will make the choices for her. Her mind says no, but her wetness tells different.
There were some damn bomb droppers in this one. From the last book how it started to end it left my mouth hanging open at some parts. But now I am finally getting whole story, the whole plot, it took it to that much bigger level. I am so glad I got all the answers I've been waiting to find out. I got more and beyond that.
Overall I truly fucking loved this book. Gage is over controlling, overbearing, over all everything, but I love that man to death. Gage and Kayla together make this book work. They make me want to keep asking for more. I will say this is not as dark as the last book. The last book was just plain dark erotica that I love, this one still has some moments that is dark, but it has the romance that it needed in this book. I loved that I got the finished product on these two characters.

I want to rate it a 5 star because it was greatly written. I want to give it 5 stars because I couldn't stop This is the hardest book for me to rate.
I want to rate it a 5 star because it was greatly written. I want to give it 5 stars because I couldn't stop reading. I did have to put it down once, and step away from it. It almost became too much for me. I knew what I was getting my self into before I even downloaded this on my Kindle. It is based on a true story. I read about the story on line and knew how it ended. If you are looking for a happy ever after with this book your not going to get it. It's brutal, it tears me apart.
When starting this book there is no looking back. I had to finish it knowing how horrible it was going to end. It was fucking unbelievable how suck fucking twisted some people really are in this world. I think what really got me with this book is that it was ALL TRUE . Based on a true story doesn't get any realer then that. When reading all my fiction dark books I love them. But for some reason when it hits me that this shit I am reading is real, it pushes me to my limits that I didn't even know I had.
Your in a 12 year old boys POV on his side of the story. On how he watched all of things happen to this little girl 14 years old right in front of him, living next door to this type of shit. He is a by stander, a victim. Guilt and desires mix with him, that was just to real.
But I will rate this book 5 stars because it was a fucking horrible amazing book that I will never forget. I am sure I will be thinking about this book forever. It cuts it that deep for me.
Would love to read more from Jack Ketchum but I think I will need to read him in long breaks. He terrifies me now. LOL
This is the second book in Pierced Hearts series. I loved the first book. I loved how it took it's time getting into the darkness that I love so much.This is the second book in Pierced Hearts series. I loved the first book. I loved how it took it's time getting into the darkness that I love so much. But, this book. Well, I wasn't sure what was going to happen. I didn't have any idea where the story was going to take, since I did not read the blurb. It kind of surprised me.
Jodie goes to a party and things start to go down in a bad way. Klaus comes in and saves the day like a hero. But damn it started off so fucked up I didn't know this was going to happen. Klaus ends up taking a hostage Stephanie and keeping her as a slave.
Right or wrong, there comes a time when you have to stop a second-guessing and wondering if what you do is moral.
This is where things start getting all fucked up in my mind. Jodie starts to take on a dom lead in a way with Stephanie and Klaus starts letting the darkness take him and I loved it. OMG, It was so nice to see where this was leading. There are some f/f, f/f/m. I have no problem with this and I quite enjoyed it my self. I liked Jodie a lot better in this book then the last. I liked when I started thinking what this person would feel at this time and the chapter I found out. The insight was great. This is a 3 person POV, which did not bother me at all. I wanted to have all 3 POV's going on so I could get every single thing that was happening. Overall I really enjoyed this book. I am wondering how the next one will be playing off.
