Opaque Mirrors ~ Courtney Lane

When the line between fiction and reality bleeds, there is no end to the lies or a truth to be found.

It was never supposed to happen. He was supposed to remain a porn star—the source of my fantasies—in my expansive collection of torture porn. But he found me, and he only wants one thing from me. He calls it the ultimate orgasm; death.

He gives me the illusion of choice—my life or his.

I thought my choice would be the end of my troubles, but it followed me to a town known for its close-minded, small population and hypocritical way of thinking. 

My madness lurks in the shadows. It watches me and seduces me with pretty smiles and dirty degradation. It assures me that my fantasies aren't wrong. It tells me that they will star in all of my nightmares…and I want nothing more.

Content contains strong violence, coarse language, graphic sex, scenes of horror, and situations that most readers would find objectionable. Reader discretion is highly advised.

Fiction & Reality were completely BLURRED...

This was an absolute Mind Fuck!!

I just didn't know what to believe.. the Title is so fitting

Nothing was as it seemed, but then again the story had you thinking it was so 

transparent when it really wasn't..

Whitney tried to move on.. tried hard to put her 

past behind her..

tried to suppress her erotic desires, 

her dangerous thoughts ..

Her fantasies of erotic torture!!

what's a girl to think or do when the very thought of getting her hands on 

snuff porn gets her excited, can so easily get her off!!

Were her daydreams real? did she have anything to do with all the murders taking place? 

Was she losing her mind?

What was real?

This read was filled with twists and turns,, 

mind games like I never could've imagined..

I thought I was having a nervous breakdown while reading it.

It felt sort of like a "who done it" murder mystery..

With an Erotic flare!!

Mason was an enigma hot and cold.. 

He pushed all of Whitney's naughty buttons and was able to fulfill her darkest desires..

Was he a mind reader? where did he come from? 

what secrets did he hide behind that control freak persona?

 why the mood swing's into a total asshole?

Up until the very end I held my breath, when it all finally began to unravel and the puzzle pieces were neatly placed.. (and no they did not just fall into place for me)

It's all made clear and we are no longer looking at a distorted picture.. But one with full clarity, fucked up truths and an HEA..

 Are you ready for the Ultimate Orgasm?

The Goodbye Girl (Red Market, #2) ~ Mary E. Palmerin & A. Giannoccaro

The Red Market is where every pound of flesh has a price tag tacked onto it. It is a place where money can buy you everything, even a heart.

Caesar has fallen and a new boss, Mateo, has risen; but he has lost his Lettie Doll and he doesn't know where to find her. She stole his soul and now he must find someone to replace her. Just like her love, his new power is an illusion. The real force behind the Red Market is about to show her cards and no one wants to play her game.

Mateo and Lettie will both have to fight to find their love, but sometimes it is only found in death. You cannot go through life unnoticed by demise when you play with it every day. Sooner or later, it catches up with you and you lose. 

**Graphic content warning. Taboo, violent themes prevalent throughout. Reader discretion is highly advised.***

This is not a pretty read.. You will have nightmares.. (I have)

It's sick, it's perverse, it's taboo it's gory and raw..

Simply put it was....

 Not only was the story line intense but we dealt with so MANY mental disorders..

We were taken through a horror ride where we got to see their triggers and what essentially made most of them go off the deep end.. Not they were very far from it to begin with..

SOOOO many secrets exposed.. There was never a moment of peace.. 

All the ulterior motives were dealt with.. Ghost made their Grand appearances...

There were some scenes as with the first book that were just 

insane.. More than anything scary because it happens, people do these things..

Gahhh it was CRAZY!!!!

Mateo and his Dolly issues....

The craziest part from all of this??

It had a Happy Ending!!

Yes it did..

and crazier for me to admit?

I was happy and content with it.. I accepted it..

Read at your own risk...

The Bad Ones ~ Stylo Fantome

Love isn't always bright and shiny.

Sometimes, it's dirty and wrong, buried six feet deep in a secret place where only wild things dare to go. Hidden behind a big black curtain that covers things no one should ever see.

Sometimes it happens between two people who should never be allowed to come together. One who is a match, and the other who just happens to be gasoline.

One strike is all it takes to burn the whole world down, and that's exactly what they plan on doing.

Even if it kills them.

warning: this book contains graphic sex, extremely brutal violence, bad language, and people repeatedly and knowingly breaking the law.

Stylo Fantome just never ceases to amaze me.. 

I never know what I'm going to get myself into when scooping up one of her books..

Not one is the same and I LOVE THAT!!!! 

Oh I knew this was going to be a dark read.. I knew it was going to be crazy and twisted 

BUT even knowing that the story was so much MORE..

An incredible demented not your normal Love Story!!

Bad Ones are sometimes just born that way..

But don't take my word for it..

Read it!!

The Starkest Truth (Breaking Insanity, #2) ~ Courtney Lane

This is not a romance.

After her recent nuptials, Nikki Brenton is quickly thrust into a world she once avoided. Unable to adjust, her unhealthy addictions begin to tempt her and threaten to poison more than her sanity.

Nothing has ever been peaceful for Eric Brenton, and his life with Nikki is no exception. The past he suppressed has returned to wreak havoc on his life. He quickly discovers he can’t avoid his past, because it’s ready to attack him where he is most vulnerable.

When the truth is as subjective as reality, the line between trust and doubt is tested; for Nikki and Eric the line may come dangerously close to disintegrating. 

Love these Warnings!!! Lets me know I'm in for one hell of a ride...

Content contains descriptive violence, graphic sex, coarse language, and scenes that some readers may find objectionable. Reader discretion is strongly advised.

WOW!!!

Reading TST was like being dropped off in the middle of an endless maze..

It was Wickedly Complex, Twisted, Gritty and Dark!!

So many players this time around Eric and Nikki are basically the pawns...

Eric was hands down one of the cockiest most sadistic, manipulative, narcissistic SOB's 

I've had the pleasure of reading about..   He's the type of Asshole you'll Hate to Love..

He'll have you creaming your panties while scaring you straight!

Eric was this beautiful demented man..

In The Sordid Promise he was untouchable, cunning and fearless..

We definitely got to see the Ethan side of him through his nightmares and what bits and pieces he fed Nikki of his damaged past..

He somehow managed to get snared in one of the many webs he's weaved - literally stuck

Oh what tangled webs we weave!!

Nikki just needed someone to confide in, a friend..

Just one Damn Friend!!!

But no one was stupid enough to dare extend that Olive Branch, they knew their 

lives would never be the same...

There were so many secrets, so many lies and deceit

I felt as if I was on a never ending roller coaster where the biggest drop was stuck on replay 

Over and Over again.

It was a total mind Fuck!!

It was bitter sweet to see Nikki start off so strong and then slowly start to come undone!!

She never once held her tongue no matter the consequence.. But she was no match for Eric

nor his sordid past..

Due to obvious reasons old and new she couldn't be 100% honest with Eric she held something's back to protect her heart and others to protect him.. But as they say no good deed goes unpunished and so it set off a chain of disastrous events!!

That ending!!! 

So much left unanswered, so many new players...

We were left with organized chaos..

I need to know...

The Goodbye Man (The Red Market, #1) ~ Mary Palmerin & A. Giannoccaro

Dysfunctional empires were made to fall. 

I am Caesar. Broken and conflicted. I am a man who gives false goodness to those who crave it. I provide solace to the ones who beg to be saved, giving them the goodbyes they want. But, my quiet little world is about to be shattered by the whispers from heaven and hell.

I am Mateo. Unlovable and unworthy. I am the boy everyone runs from. I keep love close to me in little jars of perfection, reminding me of a thousand goodbyes I never had to say, because I left them before they could leave me.

I am Svetlana. Dirty and Used. Birthed into brutality while still trying to comprehend my version of normal. I am an injured lamb, eaten by filthy wolves day after day. Just as salvation seems like it's within reach, a goodbye from this awful world is all that I wish for.

**Graphic content warning including detailed depiction of brutal, bloody acts. Physical and emotional abuse is also apparent throughout this book with graphic sex scenes, both consensual and non-sensual. Reader discretion is highly advised. Not suitable for readers under the age of eighteen or those who are easily offended by the above mentioned acts.

Heed the warnings!!! They are there for a reason and in this case it was not an exaggeration ..
You either will Love this story or Hate it, I don't see how there can be an in between..

One of these authors must be familiar with the South Bronx because the vibes, imagery and street names were on point reason being I grew up in Hunts Point and glad to say my parents were able to shelter me from most of what went on.. But I still saw ALOT..

This was an extremely dark read, with subject matters and scenes that would shock even the most avid Dark & Twisted reader..  This was a total Mind Fuck from the start and just kept getting more intense as it went on.. If you THINK you like dark reads seriously don't bother.. You have to CRAVE the shock factors in these kinds of books.. ESPECIALLY this one..
It was gory, twisted, taboo, sick, abusive and scarier, some of the things I just read can happen right under our noses!! The Blurb did hint at what I was in for but boy was it an understatement.. I'll leave it at that for those that are brave enough to give it a go!! It's a ride you won't soon forget and possibly have nightmares about!!

Bravo Ladies on making me question MY Dysfunctional taste in books!!
