Zara.
Eli.
Alex.
Three students at Caven U who are all really, really f*cking tired of life.
Zara has a substance problem. Eli is a star athlete with a secret. And Alex? He’s just a fcking a*hole.
Their paths collide one night at a party that quickly spirals out of control. A series of volatile moments follow, enveloping the three of them in a whirlwind of drama, drugs, and destruction.
Zara … drama, drugs, and destruction.
Zara feels like she’s slipping under, losing her grip on reality. And if she isn’t careful, one of the boys just might pull her all the way down.
But the thing about almost dying at the hands of someone you hate?
In the moment before you take your last breath, the fear can feel a lot like…ecstasy.
And that’s a high you only get once in a lifetime.

Ecstasy is unlike an book I have ever read. This is my first read by KV Rose and I must applaud her for how speechless this book left me at times. Eli, Zara and Alex aren’t you typical university student and this is no ordinary story. I can’t wait to dive deeper into KV Rose’s world.
If you love dark romance, you need Ecstasy in your life! I was obsessed from page one, it felt like I was right there living and breathing with the characters. This book is profound and all-consuming. I felt like I was saying WTF and ‘AH HE!! NO!’ every other page. Then there were times I wanted to smack these characters up the side of the head.
I’m a huge fan of dark romance. The darker, the better. K.V. Rose did a bang up job. I can’t believe I’ve never read her before now. That being said, if you do not like dark romance, this is definitely not the book for you.
This is my first time reading anything from this author, and I was not disappointed, this was a great read, the characters are well written, and their story kept me intrigued the whole way through. This was raw, gritty, dark, intense, twisted, emotional, steamy, and dramatic.
I went into this book not knowing what to expect…damn was this one very dark and twisted book and SO DAMN GOOD! This book is definitely not for the faint of heart, there are certainly some triggers depending on the individual.
This was my first book by KV Rose and it won’t be my last! I got so wrapped up in Zara, Alex and Eli’s story. It was such a messed up story, but one you can’t tear yourself away from. There was so much truth and vulnerability in KV’s words, in the characters personalities, action and voices. Such a strong deeper meaning behind the tainted glasses and drug induced, anger, and psychological haze.
I went through each chapter, each word, wondering what would happen next. There was nothing predictable about this book and I wouldn’t of wanted it any other way. It kept me on my toes and holding my breath for what would come next.
This book was deliciously dark. It drew me in and held me captive. KV Rose blew me away with this read!
Drugs, Sex, and Psychopaths
This book did funny things to me. I wanted to scream and beat the crap out of these weirdos but it’s scary how much I can relate to all the characters.
Proceed with caution while reading this book, it’s mentally exhausting! This book will not be for everyone. I loved it so much. It’s a definite must read for me!
Two people Zara and Alex in a poisonous relationship, sha a drug addict him dealing with his own demons, now his housemate Eli decides he should save Zara from Alex and keep her safe with him. Wow just wow this will get under your skin make no mistake, the big question who to trust, never sure who to love or hate, once you’ve read this you’ll know what I mean. I voluntarily reviewed this book.
You’re not ready. You might think you are, but you’re not. You’re so not ready. This book was INSANE. So insanely delicious and I wanted to drown in it. This book made you hurt and that’s real. The happy mess free books get so mundane and this one was so refreshing because it was anything but. These characters make you love and hate them like a flipping coin in a fun house. You think you’ve got them figured out and you don’t. You find yourself doubting everything and it’s exhilarating. K.V. Rose never disappoints. Prepare yourself all you want. You won’t see it coming until you’re drowning in it. In the ecstasy.
I’m just speechless. I’m just trying to wrap my head around the mind**** of what I just read. All the agonizing pain that these characters endured, I was right there with them. Page after page of emotions that I didn’t know if I could make it out of. It’s worth every single second though because K.V. is a master of her craft.
Eli, Alex, and Zara are characters that I will never forget. They’re a mashup of misfits that make me want to comfort and fix. I don’t want to give even the slightest away about this trio’s journey, their story needs to be experienced going in blind. You’ll love them all despite everything that unfolds.
I don’t beg often but when its comes to this book, you have to read it, seriously YOU HAVE TO! And then go read all the other phenomenally written books she has out too, they are to die for!
Holy sweet baby Jesus what did I just read??? K.V. has a twisted, dark, sick, crazy, messed up mind and I love it!!! I couldn’t get enough of this book and just when I thought I knew what was happening, it all changed and was even more twisted than I expected. K.V. is now one of my favorite authors. I need more K.V. Rose books asap.
Ecstasy by K.V. Rose
5 STARS
O M G….This book. I can’t belive I finished this book, but especially, I can’t belive I loved it.
Drug consumption is one of my triggers. Man…. I don’t know why, but every time time that I find this in a book, I get scared. I don’t know why I don’t like it, but I can’t.
Zara, Eli and Alex were some characters. Each had his own demons. Different buy the others, but actually the same. Each one had his own struggles.
Zara used substance to feel in control. Only then she feels normal & accepted.
Alex has a heart of gold, he is kind and sweet, but all is just a mask. He is hiding his anger, which comes out every time when he drinks. He is mean, he is bad.
Eli is the most dangerous of all. Broken & Dark. I loved this character. In deed, the quiet ones are the most dangerous of them all. He gets of by controlling, manipulation, owning and chasing. And he wants to do all that to Zara.
Alex & Zara are on/off for about 6 months.
Alex & Eli are best friends and they live together for 3 years. And now Eli has his eyes on Zara.
It’s Senior year and they want to live it all.
Such an intense read. Dark, insane, not your tipical romance. Mindblowing.
I didn’t knew what to expect, didn’t thought that will be like this, but I don’t regret a thing.
Dive in BLIND
