Blake:
I am a brother
I am a police detective
I am a contract killer
I don’t want to love
I don’t want to feel
I don’t want… EMPATHY.
They say some people are born with decreased activity in the front central lobe causing them a deficiency in … the front central lobe causing them a deficiency in empathy. Maybe that’s true about me but whether I was born this way or created in a moment of evil, empathy was something I didn’t possess until her green eyes met mine in the mirror and I couldn’t take her life.
I didn’t want to feel, didn’t want this woman in my life complicating how I lived but she was there at every turn. Sent to haunt me for my sins. Her light so bright she provoked a shadow from everyone she touched. When a job turns bad quickly altering my life forever I’m forced to feel. When nothing is making sense I’m forced to face truths I never would recover from. When life drowns you in its cruelty you don’t know which way the current will drag you or who you’ll become once you re-surface.
Melody:
I was a daughter
I was a student
I was a victim
Did I have his love?
Did I make him feel?
Did I have his empathy?
When the actions of a soulless killer forces sorrow into my veins I never dreamed the man healing my wounds would be the one to leave the worst scar. His love would scar my soul. Scars are permanent; I will never feel the relief from them. Will I learn to live with them, remember why I have them and learn never to let him close enough to inflict more? Will I eventually cover them… like tattoos coating them with new memories, new love and new starts? I didn’t know these answers because the pain was too suffocating, the only thing I knew was they will always be under the surface lingering. He had scars too, from his sins. There is nothing that can cover them, they were too deep, too ugly, too dark and they marked us both forever

How can I accurately express how messed up this story was? Messed up and glorious! If you’re looking for a dark and twisted read, something that will push your boundaries and have you wondering how you can possibly be fascinated with someone so effed up (it can’t only be me), then you’ve come to the right place.
Some people are born predestined …
Epic read.
Blake and Melody’s story was full of twists and turns and will keep you on the edge of your seat. I loved the concept of exploring Empathy and what someone without it would be capable of. Ker nailed it as always. I love that she isn’t afraid to dive headfirst into these subjects and makes us feel like we are there.
Melody is a college …
I am a fan of Ker Dukey and K Webster’s books that they have written together, so I thought it was time I picked up one of Ker Dukey’s books that she wrote herself. This blew me away, I LOVED every mind tripping minute of this page turner. This is not a rainbows and sunshine read – this is dark, gritty, hot, intense, and white knuckle inducing …
5 OMG….REALLY STARS!! This book is so addicting with all OMFG moments….did I really read that. I could not stop reading this book, I need a little more and before I knew it I had finished. Blake and Melody is just wow, I am still shaking my head. This author’s dark storytelling is phenomenal…..I need more.
Okay well that wasn’t what I expected.
Good lord.
It’s like my words are evading me right now.
Because well…..
MY. MIND. HAS. JUST. BEEN. BLOWN.
Guys Empathy is downright perfect. I can’t even begin to describe the utter dark and twisted perfection this novel is. It completely captured my dark soul and didn’t let go. I couldn’t put it down. …
I had originally bought this book when it first come out but it somehow got lost in my TBR file. I cannot believe I waited this long to read it. It is a “dark twisted wow did that just happen” type book. It will have you on the edge of your seat afraid to put it down because you don’t know what will happen next type book.
There is so much to say about this book. It is intense, dark and twisted. The storyline is well written, complex and original. The characters are compelling and engaging. They are smartly created with multiple layers that keep you fully invested with each new discovery about them. Blake, Melody and Ryan’s story is gripping, gritty, deep and often …
PURE GOLD! UNPREDICTABLE! I LOOOVED EVERY WORD! A THRILLING RIDE THAT LEFT MY MIND SPINNING!
I had no idea what to expect from this. I had no idea I would still be completely enamored with this story a day later. I had no idea Ker Dukey was such a AMAZING STORYTELLER! I devoured this in one sitting, this story grabbed me and didn’t let go. My …
I read and LOVED the Doll series, so now I want all the Ker Dukey books!!! I’ve found that I’m really enjoying the dark romance genre.
I had higher hopes/expectations for this book, but it was good, just not as good as the Dolls series.
Melody was very predictable, but Blake and Ryan…anything but!!!
This book has murder, violence, blood, …
No, seriously…dafuq did I just read??? Was this supposed to be a romance? A psychological thriller? A psychological case study of a sociopath? Erotica? I mean, it worked a little bit as all of those things, but never wholly fit into any one category. After reading it from beginning to end (no, I didn’t DNF, though I kinda wish I had), I’m left …
it was amazing
The most amazing story.usually the guilt trip is exclusive to women kind .ker plays wonderfully with emotions and feelings yet the characters are hard and unrelenting.beautiful.beautiful book
To say that this is one of the hardest reviews to write would be an understatement! I refuse to divulge any information and with the twists that this story has I am at a loss… How do I explain that this is going to be one of you favorite reads this year. How do I tell you that to wait to purchase or wait to read this would be one of the biggest …
