VF Mason is quickly becoming my favorite Dark Romance Author! This book is so gritty and dark – I absolutely loved it! Madman and Cassandra’s story is twisted and amazing and twisted and perfect! FIVE STARS are not enough for this book – I CANNOT WAIT FOR MORE!!
I’m speechless. My mouth has hung open the last pages and won’t shut. I’m not sure how to word at this point. I’m shocked. So many damn lies have been uncovered in Madman’s Method, yet so many new secrets come out. I’m left here just staring with my mouth hanging open, trying to figure out if I just read what I read.
Cassandra has had the most awful thing happen to her. Then another shoe drops and she’s experiencing pain like never before. I honestly have no idea where to go in this review .
Did I love Madman’s Method? Absofeckinglutely.
Was a mesmerized by the characters? Feck yes.
Was the writing and world building done believable?
I almost shat my pants when my dog barked, so yes.
I have a super huge crush on V.F. Mason. Madman’s Method is dark, gritty, delicious, sinister, mind fecking, and twisted. Yet I NEED more NOW!
Woah… Hold on, why is this the first I have read by this author? This was incredible, it was everything I love about dark romances… And more… I did not know what to expect going into this, but I certainly was not disappointed.
When it comes to romance, I like almost everything but I am most in love with the darker side of it and Ms. Mason just blew my mind. Not only did she deliver an outstanding, heart-pounding, all-consuming, dark and dangerous romance, but she also delivered it flawlessly, her writing style was smoothe and it flowed easily and it made it so easy to get hooked, and fuck I was hooked. I devoured this in a matter of hours.
WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!?!
Holy god damn shit, my head is spinning… I didn’t expect that ending. That twist? I’m in awe.
Cassandra was a treat to read, I found myself entwined and captivated with her story and the build-up, and when she and Madman connected it just intensified. It was dark, it was twisted, and it was mind-fuckingly beautiful in a messed up away. I couldn’t get enough and I am so eager to see what is to come for these two because if this part of their story is anything to go by, the next is going to be just as epic.
Whatever you think you are about to read, I can tell you now, nothing will prepare you for what is to come in this book!
I am so glad I took a chance on this author, and I am stunned I hadn’t until now. I can’t recommend this book enough.
5 Stars!
Cassandra Scott seems to want her past to make a reappearance. Madman is plotting something. This is when we have to wonder what the author has in store for her readers. Eachann Campbell sounds like he’s part of the puzzle that our author will slowly reveal.
This story is dark and not one that you want to eat while you’re reading. It’s intense and not hard to picture the scenes our author has fabricated. I think the word fabricated seems to be a perfect description since she weaves her characters through the scenes that keep our minds engaged. This is a book that you just have to keep going back for more. You think you’re going to stop and come back later – yea, you may find that it’s more like five minutes later. It’s very hard to put down.
Ms. Mason does a great job in creating something that grabs your attention. And that becomes very important because you’re not going to want to miss a thing. She lets us travel into the past to see how important that is to the present. That past also reveals things that had me thinking, “that’s interesting” which had me so entrenched in their lives and the mystery that surrounded them. I loved the twists and turns that had me wondering, “What is going on”. The ending isn’t really an ending because our mystery is not anywhere near solved. That just means that I see what is in my future, Madman’s Cure.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
O.M.F.G.
Literally my very first thought after finishing this book. Madman… is truly a madman. When I first read about the first teasing sentence:
“Once upon a time a sinner, a priest and a madman played a dangerous game…”
I was thinking okay, this must be one pretty violent joke. Oh, but how wrong I was. Madman’s method is no joke and when I met with the said priest I was literally shocked and happy. Although, I have to admit it was also a little bit expected if you read between the words.
Eudard and Eachann have very strange names to say the least. And they are totally different also. I loved both of them a little bit as much as I also hated the saint. It can sound weird as hell but the only sane and relatively normal person in this unholy town was Eudard. (I just hope I wrote the names correctly, again, because no matter how much time I check it is pretty confusing, lol)
Cassandra had to go through a lot, to hell and back to say. I really admire her courage and strength but let us be honest here for a moment: he had no chance up against the Madman. I understand their driving forces and motivations and I admired them a little bit also. The ending… I am really curious about how Madman’s Cure will deal with all the shit going around.
V.F. Mason created a twisted, dark web again that totally captures the reader. Beware thee, who shall dip only a toe in this black pond: there is no going back. Don’t follow the light. This book is a good example that a good package can still be rotten on the inside. I loved every word of it.
The first part in a new Duet and once I started reading I couldn’t stop. It is full of secrets and twist and turns and it will keep you guessing until the end and then it is still a big question mark. So can’t wait for the next book.
I really enjoyed Cassandra and her journey towards revenge. It was well thought out and I was laughing with her. And her connection met Eudard was so intense. It could just picture the whole story in my head.
It is an amazing read.
This book was crazy chaotic and amazingly awesome!!! Talk about one heck of a complex story with twists that just keep coming. I am fumbling for words to give justice to this book. The beginning, I admit took me a bit to grasp what was going on, but it was only warm up to prepare you for the mind blowing events that will take place.
Cassandra has lived through some very awful things, you have no choice but to hope that she can have some sort of peace and happiness, while she seeks her vengeance. There are secrets piled on top of more secrets, you will have no clue of the events to come. Madman, I know I should hate him, but I just can’t, he’s sucked me into the darkness.
I never could have predicted the twists and turns as the events started unfolding. Talk about a shocking ending. I swear I sat looking at my screen thinking, “What no way, did I really just read that?” I need more, so much more. I absolutely can not wait for the next book to come out!!!
A Phenomenal Book, 5+Stars!!!
WOW! What a book! V.F. Mason is a fabulous author. I was spell-bound from the first page. So many secrets, everybody in the book was keeping secrets. I kept waiting and waiting almost afraid to continue because I knew it was going to be disastrous when the secrets came out and it was. The ending will shock you. I loved the book and cannot wait for the next one. Kudos to Ms Mason for writing and extraordinary book!
I’m still reeling from finishing this on 8/28.
I definitely need the conclusion to make sense of it all.
Madman’s Method is twisted to the point of maddening…
It’s tumultuous plot had my mind blown.
Cassandra..oh boy..she’s so BADA$$.

Would I read more from the author? Yes
Would I recommend this book? Yes
Oh. My. Goodness!! This book just blew me away! It was so dark and heartbreaking in spots, and you couldn’t help but root for her vengeance. But there are questions, you only get bits and pieces of what happened so many years ago. We’re spoon fed details of that night so long ago, and not everything you think you know is true. This book was everything! The ending will have you shocked, and needing the next book! I can’t wait!!
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
Once upon a time a sinner, a priest and a madman played a dangerous game….
She is a sinner. He is a serial killer. She demanded vengeance. He demanded her. She vowed to avenge. He vowed to destroy. She created a web of lies. He wore a mask of deceit. She wanted to escape. He captured her instead. There are no rules in this twisted game of theirs. But there is a winner who claims the sinner.
This story is amazing. Like so amazing you won’t put it down. I love when V.F. Mason gives us a serial killer to love. I know I know that sounds strange but someone has to love them. I am not going to talk about the story. I didn’t read the blurb. I didn’t look at one review and I know I am a reviewer but your best to not read them as I am sure their will be something to spoil it for you. I went in blind and that’s my favorite way to go in these dark, edge of your seat reads. This book too is told in three points of view and from the past and present. If you have not idea what is going on at first don’t feel bad. The story will reveal itself in the memories your going to read about. This story is going to rock your world. If you love dark, dirty and edge of your seat reads then you do not want to miss Madman’s Method. I look so forward to seeing what V.F. Mason gives us next. I get so excited and giddy every time I know that she is going to put a new book out into the world.
Madman’s Method, is the first in a duet. And I have to say that this author did it again, even outdone herself with this book! This author is known for her twist and turns in her stories…but my oh, my. She’s really stepped it up a nudge!!
“Where one is an angel sent by God to bring goodness to this earth… the other one is the demon sent by the devil himself to bring chaos and destruction to whomever he sees fit.”
My absolute favorite books are about badass heroines kicking ass and getting revenge. Cassandra Scot knows how to do just that. And I loved that she had a weakness, and even let herself have some happy moments.
“A priest might forgive. A madman, though, makes you pay for every sin you ever committed. ”
That turn of events in the end though… Can’t wait to read Madman’s Cure!!
Absolutely a must read this year!

I really need to process real hard of what I just read. Cause omg this book!
It’s dark. Like churn your stomach inside out kinda dark. Like twisted your soul kinda dark. Like crying cause it hurt so bad while you’re shaking so hard of anger and disqust and just pure terror kinda dark.
And the Twist ending? Just worth screaming on the top of your lungs full of WTF moment
So, yes for Madman’s Method I really have no idea what to write in my review without spoiler.
But I tell you this, Madman’s Method is not as simple what you think from the first page.
To say this is the best book so far by the author is an understatement. And yes, I finish it in one sitting
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. 10 amazing stars and that end ugh…… These books keep getting better and better!! Madman and Cassandra’s story is dark and twisted but I couldn’t put it down. Read it cover to cover last night! There were alot of ups and downs, twists and turns. This plot DID NOT disappoint. I cannot wait for the next one!!
Wow!! This is one dark, twisted and totally mind-blowing read. The characters are complex and the story interesting and engaging. Be prepared to be kept right on the edge as you ravenously read this gritty, raw and extremely intense book. I’m very eager for book two.
Wow! What a journey! I loved every second of this book and I can’t wait for the next book! Amazing!
