I was intrigued but this is most definitely DARK! If rape, pedophilia, erotic asphyxiation, sex slavery, and rough sex are triggers this might not be for you. I will say the pedophile stuff is just talked about without any descriptions which would have been my hard limit. Just so you know, Vlad is not a gentle, loving man. There is no love making in this book. The book is slow moving in the beginning but quite a bit happens in the last half. I'm going to give the next book a chance.

The Empathy Series: Empathy, Desolate, Vacant, Deadly par Ker Dukey

Ths series was sitting on my tbr shelf for some time, so when I accidentally opened it up on my Kindle, I just read it. I am so glad I did. This omnibus contains the entire "Empathy" series, which is broken down to three main story arcs.

I am not going to synopsis it, because you can read that in the other reviews.

I am going to say that this is a dark, taboo, erotic, gut-wrenching, ugly-cry inducing, "Did he really just do that...?" "Are they going to....?" "Oh..No....No! No! No!"..."I can't believe how effed up I am for reading this and liking it and rooting for these characters"...."Please Sir, may I have another?"

The book starts off strong, had steamy sexy scenes that are plot driven, contains really dark and taboo themes, but isn't so bad that you need to bleach your brains at the end. This is the perfect omnibus for when you want to read something long, dark and completely unpredictable.

I got it from Kindle Unlimited.… (plus d'informations)

Vlad (The V Games, #1) par Ker & Webster Dukey, K

Now this was a great read and managed to keep me from feeling like it was too short.

Bring on the next one!

The characters in this particular book were very strong. I didn't have a single complaint through the whole book. Not a single one.....seriously....they managed to start off one way and work their way up, growing but not truly changing who they were. They stayed true to their initial character traits.

Read it, and wait with baited breath for the next installment. I know I will.… (plus d'informations)

Pretty Stolen Dolls (Pretty Little Dolls, #1) par Ker Dukey

4.50 stolen stars.

I loved this book, so dark and scary, but so amazing and real. I loved the plot and the characters, the story was so fucked up but really enjoyable, and god damn it that end, I need to read the second book really soon.

Jade is a pretty strong young woman, that was kidnapped when she was 14, she escaped at 18 and the story in the book is a few years later. I love how determined she is, how she never gives up, and how she survives. TBH she annoyed me a little bit in the beginning, but in the end, holy hell.

Dillon - really amazing hero, but there was something that makes me feel that he is almost invisible like his character wasn't fully developed and a little bit rushed, but I enjoyed his humor and his story

And Benny-The-Monster. God damn it, I have never met so well-written villain, I hated him so much, but part of me felt sorry for him, so evil and discussing, but still with gentle heart, and I absolutely would kill him, but damn it his evilness was so perfect sometimes it made ME tremble from fear.

Also, I was a bit confused at the end Cause I thought jade was going to psychology, not Macy, and I thought like what if jade was crazy all this time, what if she killed her parents, what if she was still under his control. Thank god I was wrong.

So overall:
Heroine - 5.5/6
Hero - 4.5/6
Antihero - 6/6
Plot Twist - 6/6
Ending - 6/6
Storyline - 6/6

Strongly recommend this book, but only people with strong psychic should read it.… (plus d'informations)
