Some of them can shatter your mind. You’re invited to join me in my Descent into Darkness. This is a standalone full-length MFM novel, but there are elements from this story which will carry on throughout the entire series.

arc review I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. This is a story of Madison ( doll face)a child star now 18 but back when 16 she does something that impacts just not one life but many .that now has brought her to be kidnapped by viggo and Carter . Great story
This was a complicated BDSM revenge story. Carter and Viggo have a chance to seek vengeance against Madison, but she’s wrapped herself up in so much darkness that it was hard for even those two to find a way to help her. I like a good complex character, and I thought Madison’s was one of total despair, but I wasn’t truly convinced she had found her way back at the end. I felt the pain/pleasure chemistry in the middle of the story, but towards the end, I thought there would be more obvious feelings of love, but it didn’t quite do it for me.
This book was pure self-discovery with a lovely dark edge. The main characters come together because of circumstances that everyone can do things that are not always good. It reads wonderfully and the chemistry is good. The rest of the story was also easy to follow. I myself have read the other parts, that made it easier, because it all plays in the same world and continues. From me 4 stars, I very much enjoyed this part again.

This book was truly a great read and was intriguing from beginning to end. I loved how the story unfolded showing us how Madison, Viggo and Carter’s lives were intertwined. It is truly a dark and twisted read. Definitely recommend this book to all the dark romance lovers out there.

This book is nothing like I expected. It’s very dark and erotic though. I enjoyed it and look forward to seeing what the author has in store next.

Karma is dark and this author has managed to do a wonderful job describing it! The plot is easy to follow and very well written. The characters are well developed and each one has some demons they need to deal with. There are a lot of triggers in this book so be aware of that. If dark is your thing you are not going to want to put this book down till it ends!

I have mixed emotions about this one. While it started off quite dark and the redemption and forgiveness themes were very strong which I quite like I never really connected with the characters. The chemistry didn’t feel like it was really there between them either. The story as a whole just didn’t work for me but I did enjoy a lot of the writing so I’m giving it three stars.
***I decided to review an ARC of this book.***
Intriguing, dark romance
This is a great read. I’m enjoying the Descent into Darkness series. They are standalone stories but intertwined with the others so it helps if you read them in order but not necessarily required.
Madison Snow is a former child star. 2 years ago she did something horrible and was never punished for it. That’s about to change. Viggo is the best friend of Carter, the man she wronged, and he’s going to help Carter get his own justice. In the pursuit of justice some other things are found, forgiveness & love. I’m anxious to see where this intertwined story goes next. I have an idea of who could be the next characters and can’t wait for more.
Broken by Them is the next book in the series “Descent into Darkness”. Each book is a stand alone but follow the continuing characters. You meet the characters in the previous books but reading them all is not necessary.
Madison Snow made her name in the movies as “Doll Face” when she was a young child. A tragic accident on her 16th birthday changed the life of not just her, her best friend, and her brother, but two strangers.
Carter is living a broken life ever since that night and his best friend Viggo decides to help him start to recover.
Loving the series and can’t wait for the next.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Madison Snow is Doll Face a former child star who gets kidnapped on her eighteenth birthday. Two years before she did something horrible and her kidnappers were going to make her pay for her crime. Best friends Viggo and Carter run a Chicago underground gambling ring and are out for revenge. This is a dark, twisted captivating book full of revenge, suspense, angst, drama, twists, steam and so much more. This is a great addition to the Descent Into Darkness series.
Wow! What an amazing Dark and Steamy Read!!!!
One secret, that’s all it took to affect 2 men in such a tragic way. Carter & Viggo kidnaps Madison to exact their revenge. In this dark romance story, Madison will be punished for her actions. This is such a twisted and dark story, that I had to keep reading until the end. The chemistry between the three was absolutely hot. I loved the dark story line, and that there in the darkness, the three found love and forgiveness. A definite must read, you’ll surely enjoy it!

If you like this genre than this one is
definitely going to keep you on the edge
of your seat and attention right from the beginning
to the end.
In this the plot is set around Madison Viggo and Carter.
Follow their journey of how they had to forgive themselves
for things that happen years ago.
This is a hard book to write a review on without giving the plot away.
The chemistry between the characters is interesting and well developed.

Right now, I am consumed with so much appreciation for Ms. Kelli Callahan. With the impeccable creation of Broken By Them, I have become re-obsessed with dark (albeit beautiful) romance. Madison Snow, aka ‘Doll Face’, is all grown up and it is past time for her to pay for her sins. At tender age of 16, Madison made a life-altering mistake that impacted Carter and inadvertently his best friend Viggo. Each are living with guilt but all of that is soon to change. I encourage all romance reader’s that love a book with dark themes and a beautifully designed happily ever after to read this release.
Ms. Callahan has incorporated all of her talent and creativity into one unbelievably delightful release. While I realize that everyone does have a reading preference and a dark romance might not be it… This publication certainly checked all of my boxes for a top notch, perfect quality book.
I voluntarily requested an advanced reader’s of Broken By Them in exchange for my honest & voluntarily given opinion and I highly recommend reading this book as well as anything written by Ms. Callahan. I can not wait to see what is next from Ms. Callahan. Side Note – I am very grateful to catch up with the past characters from another well written release of hers.
This is a dark romance and at the same time it shows light and love. It takes a lot to reach that but what a ride! Madison is unable to forgive herself for a devasting decision. Viggo and Carter best friends and brothers at heart. They have their own demons and want her to pay. It is a page turner. A fantastic read. Check it out and see for yourself. I am voluntarily leaving my review after reading an advance copy of the book.
This story between Madison, Viggo and Carter is so intense but in a good way. I was hooked from the start and my heart sped up and slowed down at the same time as the characters did. I’m just such a fan of KC!! I definitely recommend this book.
