Wow… that was super dark and messed up. I honestly don’t know how I feel about it. I HATE cliffhangers and I’m not typically a fan of dark. I like romance and swoon worthy moments. This mostly just pissed me off. However, I got super sucked into this and couldn’t put it down… it was extremely well written.

A gripping book one in the Obsessed Duet! It is a dark, raw, and twisted suspense romance that is well written, engaging, relatable, and emotionally wrenching. There is drama, intrigue, twists, surprises, secrets, violence, and suspense. The characters are complex and you will enjoy getting to know them. An on the edge of your seat read that I look forward to continuing in book two. Definitely recommended.

Dark, Twisted and oh so delicious…….
A Deadly Obsession is the first book in The Obsessed Duet and is a dark, twisted and very interesting suspenseful romance. It is the story of Lucas and Ella and a “society” where things are not quite what they seem at first glance.
Ella has been raised to become the wife of a man she has never met. On the surface she is beautiful, obedient, intelligent and ready to serve him. When she leaves her family house to go to him she finds that she is not the only young woman who has been raised to be his wife. She is actually one of seven to be chosen from, so not quite the fairy tale ending she had been dreaming of all these years. The man is Lucas who is the son of an elite leader. He is rude, rough, brusk and disinterested in the entire process of choosing or even having a wife. Ella is hiding an inner strength under that serene surface and it appears when she stands up to Lucas during the process. She is the only one and it ends up costing her as she is not chosen. But for Lucas it makes her more intriguing and she is the only one that she cannot get out of his mind or his desires. But he is also hiding things below the surface and these are darker and crueler. It seems Lucas is obsessed with Ella and it may just be deadly for both of them.
This is a well written and very engaging and intriguing book. The characters are wonderfully written as you get to see “behind the curtain” of them. But you also get a glimpse behind the curtain of the society. This book ends with a cliffhanger so be prepared to read the next to find out what happens with Ella and Lucas.
I received a copy of this book for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
Wow I enjoyed this book. The characters are well developed and engaging with undeniable chemistry between the couple which made for a great storyline that kept me entertained throughout the pages.

I am becoming a big fan of this new author to me. This story, Deadly Obsession is a very dark romance suspense novel and I,loved,it. It does end on a cliffhanger but I expected that Lucas and Ella. Ella has been groomed her whole life to become the wife of Lucas but when the time comes she finds she is one of 7 candidates. When Ella finds out more about Lucas, she is t so sure she wants to know him let along be in the running. His past is quite repulsive but Lucas is drawn to her rebelliousness. It turns out Lucas doesn’t get to choose and the choose made for Lucas isn’t Ella. It all comes to a head when rules are broken and dangerous secrets come to light. Intense, captivating and compelling, a perfect dark read trifecta

This is definitely a must read book! Cannot wait for book #2 on the series. This is book #1 in the Obsessed Duet and this book ends in a cliffhanger! This is the story of Ella whom has been groomed her whole life to become the wife of Lucas.. she will be in a house with 6 other woman whom Lucas will choose to become his wife. Ella is not like the other girls, stands up for herself and for what she believes in. Lucas takes notice and now there’s no way he cannot see her whether she likes it or not. This story is full of suspense and power play between a father and son. Gotta tell ya I cannot wait for book # 2.

ella was one among the other six woman who are eyeing for lucas , Ella was a sheltered woman who was in the elite society where anything and everything goes, Lucas is a mean, harsh and brash SOB . This story has so many twist and turns, betrayal and deceptions. I really like this story and i highly recommend it.

Oh my goodness !! Talk about suspense, betrayal and so much more. From the very first sentence you’ll not want to put the book down. It was definitely dark as Master Andrew is pure pure evil. Henry just gave me the creeps and has you not sure what his end game is exactly. All while Lucas is different in so many ways yet at times very much alike. Ella she has a fire in her that seems to get her in trouble every time she turns around. The cliffhanger….COME ON !! I NEED to know the rest…..LOVED IT!

This book is the first half of The Obsessed Duet. Ella has been groomed all her life to be a wife to a man she has never even met. At first Ella is excited but that quickly turns into uncertainty and fear when she meets Lucas. He is not at all what she expected. Lucas is not interested in a wife, he just wants to continue ruling his empire. But Ella makes an impression when she stands up to him when no one else has the guts. Obviously, being part one of a two, this book ends on a cliffhanger but it was a fantastic introduction into these characters and the in which they exist. I loved the vivid details in the story so far, they makes you feel like you are there. I cannot wait to read part two. Enjoy!

A deliciously dark book 1 and so it has a huge cliffhanger! I love this author’s writing, I have yet to find a book by her that I did not enjoy. This had me sitting on the edge of my seat and I fell in love with these characters and needed to know what they would do and say next. An absolute brilliant book.

Vi Carter did a great job on A Deadly Obsession, the plot was strong, it was dark and filled with many emotions that’ll leave you on the edge of your seat. Ella and Lucas were strong characters, their journey wasn’t an easy one, they had many ups and downs but they were drawn to one another.
This was a great story. I’m looking forward to reading more.
Thank you, Vi Carter. Great work 🙂
This was a deliciously dark and intense story. The characters were interesting, well-developed and had amazing chemistry. The story was well-written with an intriguing storyline that had mystery, suspense, violence, cruelty, brutality, secrets, lies, deception, emotions and steam. I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait for the next book. (Cliffhanger Ending).

I’d definitely recommend this book.

I love dark romance, it’s probably my favorite genre. This book delivers that and more. Ella is a young woman, raised to believe she is promised in marriage to Lucas. When the time comes to fulfill this promise, she discovers, she is one of seven candidates for the”job”. In her girlish fantasies, Lucas is a fairy tale prince and they will live HEA. She soon discovers he’s not at all what she thought. This book has great character development, is full of twisted torture, violence, turns, and drama. There maybe chemistry between Lucas and Ella, but they have little choice in their futures. This book is well paced and a page turner from start to finish. The only down side, I hate cliffhangers and this book has a doozy! I can’t wait for book 2 in the Obsessed Duet, A Cruel Confession. But until then, you can enjoy reading this book fro free with your KU Subscription.

Vi Carter knows how to write a dang good dark twisted book and this book is no different. First off if you don’t like cliffhangers then you need to wait till the next book comes out.
This storyline is Mafi based which has mystery, murder, suspense, drama and steamy forbidden romance. Ella is one of seven women hoping to become Lucas’s wife but isn’t chosen by Lucas’s father. Lucas seems evil but as the story goes on, we see another side to him. This story is dark and it will keep you on the edge of your seat. READY FOR BOOK 2.

This book was a very pleasant surprise. The story line was an original one to me but has been well thought out and comes cross brilliantly in the book. The characters are all plushed out and believable and are very emotive. This book had me hooked from the beginning and , as it has a cliffhanger, waiting on tenterhooks for the next one. I absolutely loved this book and cannot recommend highly enough.
