This was absolutely another fantastic 5 plus read from the cleverly diabolical mind of Natalie I have to wonder where she comes up with these f’ed up stories, but as long as she’s writing I’m going to be reading them.
We go back to the Andreou family of the Dahlia saga this is the story of Mason who is the son of Morgana and Julian and he’s a lil saner than his father, but not by much seeing as he likes to cut up a person for his kind of art then paint them. Then you have his Katie or Katie Kat as he likes to call her she knows there’s something wrong with him, but she’s got her own lil crazy going on in her mind she’s a good girl, but in her mind she’s already managed to kill you 6 different way’s oh yeh these 2 deserve each other and Mason has been watching her and binding his time waiting for the right moment to take her and make her see that their crazy can live in harmony as long as she never leaves him, because then she won’t like him.
This book will take you on one crazy rollercoaster ride after another, but it’s so good you’ll want to get your ticket. This is definitely not for the faint of heart, but if your into the dark, twisted evil has a new name called Mason then you’ll want to read this.
This second book in the Dahlia Saga is truly dark, twisted goodness. I loved Katie’s conflicting thoughts and feelings and watching Mason slowly bring her into the fold of his world. I was fascinated with their story and couldn’t seem to put this one down. The mysteries and twists along the way were fantastic. And by the end I was already looking forward to diving into the next book.
Omg! Gahh! This series is so good ! Another great dark and morbid novel from the queen of dark romance ! This book will truly mess with your mind and will keep you guessing page after page ! I literally read this in one sitting once I sat down I did not get up until I was finished . This story was dark and disturbing and kept me off balance at times but was so good I couldn’t do anything other than continue reading to find out what happened in the end ! Loved it ! Definitely 5 stars
The next installment of the Dahlia Saga continues with Mason & Katie’s story…So much darkness, twists & turns, secrets & lies..I couldn’t put this book down! & In true Natalie Bennett fashion your kept on the edge of your seat wondering if history will once again repeat itself. This book is dark, its unique, weirdly beautifully grotesque… I’m obsessed with this series and I cannot wait for what’s to come next
I devoured this book in one sitting! I love the dark and twisted characters and story! I definitely recommend if you love the dark!
Freaking fantastic!! Natalie knows how to placate your inner dark and twisted side!!
So “Obscene” is the story of Morgana and Julien’s son Mason and this is his and Katies story.
He is certainly a chip off the old block but compared to his father’s past antics Mason is practically sane even with his unique compulsions that drive him to take things apart for his macabre art inspirations.
despite his penchant for murder and dismemberment, he was actually quite a sweetie, well to Katie anyway.
His dominance and control are definitely at the forefront as he drives this obsession with his Katie-Kat to it’s full completion.
He wants to immerse her in his world so she has no choice but to stay within his deviant but loving embrace and teach her to embrace her wicked side completely.
I liked Katie and she is certainly wide open to this lifestyle of decadence and death.
She even finds mason’s little hobby strangely intriguing which just shows her level of wired wrongness.
So Julien is back in this one and as much as I loved checking on him it also felt so bittersweet with how things finished in the previous book.
We also get to meet Mason’s cousin Declan, who along with Ethen is in the next instalment of this series “Depravity” which is M/M/F and doesn’t disappoint either.
So this series is not for the faint of heart on a 1-10 scale of darkness this is definitely an 11 this is extreme stuff very hostel in nature.
Me I love this type of fiction and I read this in one complete sitting.
This really is a great read if you like your boundaries completely obliterated.
I voluntary reviewed a copy of Obscene: A Dahlia Saga Novel.

If you have read the Mercy Books the world will be familiar, but you don’t miss out if you haven’t read them before.
Katie isn’t rescued by a white knight, but by a Dark Knight. I really felt for Katie, She is so confused about Mason. She loves him, but the things he does repel and attract her at the same time. And then there are a lot of secrets. Mason is a complex character. He know who he is and what he likes and makes no excuses.
The second part of the book was more emotional and we see Katie grow more confident and more herself. She was not just playing Mason’s games, but she played her own. Something that Mason respects. There is a intensity and connection between them that grows stronger each day.
Once I started reading I couldn’t stop.
***5 Stars***
I DEVOURED this baby.
It was dark, deviant and gory and yet…and yet I felt the love. Obsessive and deranged at times, but I definitely felt the love.
I adored Mason and Katie. Mason, for all the darkness that’s in him, is a man of honor and loyalty. He is also one that is quite honest, at least when it comes to what his heart desires and isn’t afraid to show it ~ even if it’s in ways that aren’t the norm when it comes to romance. Katie, for all that she was sheltered in her life, had a pretty strong sense of self. She knew that she was ‘different’, and would chastise herself for it at times, but also just went with the things going on in her head. She’s naturally curious and I loved how she followed her gut in most things.
Their journey to their HEA was definitely an interesting one from start to finish, but one that I thoroughly enjoyed. While there were secrets between them, I loved how honest they were with each other, even when they didn’t want to be. Their flow was spot on, even when things were rocky, the chemistry was intense and I really liked where they were at in the end.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, though I’m not all too sure if it surpases Depravity, but it does come close. The secrets and twists and turns were well done and I love how everything played out. As you can see, I didn’t read in order, but it didn’t cause any issues and can be read as a standalone, though reading Malice first is something I do recommend considering that it is about Mason’s parents.

Oh another amazing dark read from in this series. The story continues with Mason and Katie, these two have one crazy messed up ride of a relationship. This book, sucked me right in at the beginning, no way I could put it down. If u are a fan of Natalie Bennett then this is one of her best series yet, well actually I completely love them all but this is defs one of my top favorites.
