This jaw-dropping, gritty, dark romance is an absolute masterpiece. It has taken me a few days to write this review as I am still reeling from that ending! This author’s book slay me and Madman’s Method is no different. This book hooked me right from the first page and was loathe to put it down to go do important things like sleeping and eating. I don’t know how she does it, but this author has the unique ability to make me fall in love with her twisted serial killing anti-heroes. Her creativity in constructing a unique story and her descriptive writing never cease to amaze me.
I found the characters in this novel to be quite interesting. I loved Cassandra as she is a hardcore heroine who is a survivor on the quest for vengeance. The anti-hero is dark, obsessive, protective, and sexy. There are twists and turns that will leave you gasping and scraping your jaw up off the floor. As this is book 1 in a duet, there is a cliffhanger and it was one that I truly didn’t see coming. If you love a good dark and twisted romance full of suspense, intriguing characters, and a story that is sure to leave shocked, then you will love this book!
I love this author’s work, having read the pakhan’s rose books. This book blow it out of the water. So many details in this story of love, hate and revenge. I couldn’t put it down and the ending I didnt see coming. I cant wait for bk 2. I have to see where this all leads.
This author never ceases to amaze me with her ability to weave a masterful tale. Her books have a way of pulling you into the story and not letting go. My mind is blown away right now and I’m waiting on pins and needles for the next installment. VF twisted my mind and left me reeling. If you like dark romance with a side of mindf*ck this book is for you!
OMG…another nail-biting page-turner from VF Mason. Each book keeps getting better and better and this story was no exception. Madmans Method was intense, well-written and engrossing. You will be hooked from beginning to end. The author will take you on a chaotic journey with this tale, and the twists and turns will leave you speechless.With secrets and betrayal, dark, complex characters, and so much more, you will be consumed and the cliff hanger ending will leave you in shock and in urgent need for the net book.
Madman’s Method was a phenomenal read and I would highly recommend it to all lovers of dark romances.
4.5 twisted as shit stars!! Ahhh this book is crazy good!!
This is book one of the “Madman Duet”. And yes it ends in one hell of a cliffhanger!! Oh the anticipation!!
“Once upon a time, a sinner, a priest, and a madman played a dangerous game. Where all of them burned in the ashes of their passion and betrayal.”
I loved seeing all the killers through this book. I absolutely love this author and her twisted mind.
I will admit I was slightly confused pretty much the entire book until the last 5 pages, now I am only a tiny bit confused but DAMN!! This book had so many secrets and triggers. It was exciting and I did not want to put it down!!
Madman is one crazy sob. But damn I love him. Also I would like to give props to Cassandra!! She is a bad bitch!!
I absolutely can not wait for the next book. I will be on the edge of my seat. This book is full of incredible characters and such a twisted and bad ass plot. This is a read you will NOT want to miss out on!!

“Once upon a time, a sinner, a priest, and a madman played a dangerous game. Where all of them burned in the ashes of their passion and betrayal.”
Madman’s Method by V.F. Mason… OMG! This is my very first read from V.F. Mason and I am sitting here DUMBFOUNDED as to how in the HELL I have not found her before now! This review is gonna be short and sweet ya’ll. There’s just no way I can do an in-depth review without giving away spoilers, and ruining the suspense, and OMG the suspense ya’ll! Told in multiple POV’s Madman’s Method is a dark and sinister story of pain, heartache, revenge, and vengeance!
There is a TRIGGER WARNING BUT it would be quite a big spoiler and WILL reveal Cassandra’s motives… Sooo, read at your own discretion guys!
When a new woman named Cassandra moves to town, she seems to know all the dirty secrets about everyone in town… and she’s determined to make them pay for the sins of their past.
But why does she look so familiar?
Who is this mysterious woman?
How does she know things about the town and the people in it that only those who grew up there would know?
“Familiar euphoria runs over my skin, awakening the sinister madman inside me who is already hungry for the pain and blood she’ll inflict. And then I’ll finish it for her in the vilest of ways possible. Only then can I capture my phoenix who rose from the ashes.”
You’ll have to check out Madman’s Method to find out!
Sorry, ya’ll that’s as much of a synopsis as I can give without giving away spoilers! Seriously this book is a MUST READ! Again, V. F. Mason is a new to me author so I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this one and OMG I am honestly blown away with this one! I loveee dark reads and this one was right up my ally! Really well written and had just enough twists and turns that it kept me right on the edge of my seat waiting to see what secret would be unveiled next!
The heroine, she’s a bad bitchhh! She wants revenge and she will stop at absolutely NOTHING to get it! No matter who she has to go through, or who gets hurt in the crossfire she will seek her vengeance against the ones who have wronged her!
The hero or, in this case, the anti-hero is a smokin hot alpha with enough darkness and crazy in him to make ya a little nervous but still, totally hot!
“Once upon a time, a madman desired an angel while her heart belonged to a saint. This time around though, our story will be different. This time, a madman will get his sinner and drag her into his world, revealing all his dark secrets to her that only she has the ability to withstand.”
Just remember, the villain isn’t always the bad guy of the story…
The steamy scenes, all I’m going to say is !
“Your smell, the little whimpers, the flush that spreads all over your body, I no longer know how to live without them.” A beat and then, “You’ve consumed a madman.”
Madman’s Method ends on a HUGE cliffhanger that you will NEVER see coming, that will leave you completely speechless when the FINAL bomb is dropped! There has been so much already revealed but yet there are still so many more secrets still left to unravel in the conclusion of the Madman’s Duet, Madman’s Curse! I can NOT wait until October, this one is a MUST READ!
“That day an ice princess kissed a sinner and everything changed. Because one single kiss made me a sinner and him the devil… a connection no one would be able to break. A connection that will become our curse.”
I highly recommend checking this one out!
“A priest and a madman, two sides of one coin. And the most interesting part of it all? No one knows who craves the darkness more.”
Confessions Of A Bibliophile’s Overall Ratings:
– I LOVED it! Awesome read and I can’t wait for the conclusion! Anyone who enjoys dark romance filled with suspense will most definitely enjoy this one!
– The steamy scenes have just enough darkness to make them EXTRA hot!
Cliffhanger Warning- This one leaves off right after a HUGE, HUGE, HUGE bomb is dropped! Conclusion of the duet comes out in October!
I voluntarily reviewed an advance complimentary copy of this book.
This was a great read. Full of twists and turns and OH that ending!
Unfortunately I have to wait til October…boooo… for the second in the duet. I’ll be on pins and needles with anticipation for days and days..well played VF Mason…well played.
Madman’s Method is a suspenseful thrill of a read. While it’s long, it’s not LOOOONNNNGGG, and it doesn’t feel that way becuase you’re always wondering what Cassandra or Eduard is going to do next.
A tale of a young girl in love with one of her best of friends, while the one in love with her watches from the sidelins, waiting to stake his claim. While Arianna’s life falls apart due to the whims of her “best friend”, Cassandra emerges from the flames, becoming Eduards phoenix.
The writing is great, the characterizations are fabulous…but the end. I love suspense, thrillers, mysteries. Throw in some well written sexy times and I’m in heaven…so to say I was floored when the ending came along is odd for me. lol I’m usually qicker on the uptake there. but I didn’t even THINK that dastardly. Wasn’t even LOOKING in that direction. Very well done!!
I simply cannot wait until October and Madman’s Cure!
It’s not fair I have to wait until October for the conclusion of this story You’re a little mean Miz Mason…
In case it wasn’t clear as day from the above, I pretty much LOVED every minute of this book. This will come as no surprise to anyone that follows my reviews because V.F. Mason can do no wrong in my eyes. Her books are always well written. Well paced. The plots are always engaging and full of twists and turns. There is usually little to no OW drama. There are always hot sex scenes. There is always a great cast of secondary characters. The heroes are always twisted as f-ck, yet strangely endearing and the heroines are (usually) very likable. And all the above can be said for this book. I can’t wait to get my hands on the conclusion to this story!
WOW!!! I never expected this, this is some dark and twisted intense beyond mind blowing that I could not get enough of, you think you have it figured out guess again. Madman and Cassandra are one of a kind and holy they are unique and dangerous and so so beautiful at the same time in this dangerous game their about to play so hold on tight. This is outstanding theirs no words it’s every single thing I love in my Dark Romance. The character development and feelings are so real and written to perfection and I can’t wait for the next one. That ending ugh boom blow your mind.
So this author is an auto-buy from me and I devour everything she produces.
I am such a die-hard fan of her serial killer romances no other author compares for me.
Madman’s Method is up there with my faves and is the first instalment in a duet and the next is out like next month so not long to wait here at all.
So as usual im gonna try and keep this very vaguish in terms of content its a story best appreciated blind.
So this one has a woman out for vengeance and twin brothers at its centre and no it is not a love triangle abhor that trope.
This story really takes you on a gripping journey, it’s like a runaway train you can’t get off and I was enraptured and transfixed from the very first instant.
This author sure can construct a tale and this was equal parts confusing as it was compelling I only can describe it to having the veil slowly lifted from your eyes until a final picture starts to emerge one where you have to applaud the ingenuity of the infrastructure and the creativeness of the initial builder I bow to your evil genius.
My this was a tangled web with so many shocks and twists a real class act and I am now gagging for the next piece of this puzzle.
Really recommend this one ever so highly it was a fantastic read.

Wow! This book was phenomenal! The writing was on point and I was sucked in from page 1! This book was heartbreaking, steamy and sexy, mysterious and twisted! I’m in awe at the ending I did not see coming!
Holy chit! This was a baptism of fire into the dark pits of hell and psychological warfare. My first book by this author and if you‘re drawn to the psychologically dark thrillers, read this book…today. Do not add it to your TBR, bump it up to your next read. For once I’m actually ecstatic that it’s taken so long to read this book, because I can dive straight into the second book. I’m in need of all the answers right now.
Who are the players you ask, the privileged, a serial killer, a priest and a broken doll who has some formidable back-up friends on her side. The five founding families of a small town, have lived charmed lives and their name holds a huge influence. They look down their noses if you aren’t one of them. While on the surface everything appears smooth, this town holds some very heavy secrets and as we know it’s only time before all is confessed. The domino effect will have them scrambling for their lives, as this is the first time that someone has stood up to them. Which players will be left on the board? Who will have the winning move
What a deliciously dark and twisted romance that hits all the dark desires, angsty feels, Vengeful acts, and jaw dropping mind games that this story brings forth. V.F. Mason is the mistress of dark romance and this is one of her best!!!!
I didn’t know what to expect going into this book and the main characters- Cassandra and Madman- are ones that will entice while at the same time drawing the reader into their intense and dark interactions. As the plot played out, I was on the edge of my seat. I wanted to see how and what would become of Cassandra and Madman’s twisted yet seemingly impossible romantic relationship. There are twists and turns that abound and the cliffhanger ending leave questions that won’t be answered until book 2 comes out. All I can say is… this is such a beautifully twisted romance that will entice while bringing the pain. Loved every minute of it!!!
My Rating: 4.5 stars *******
Madman’s Method was a fantastic book! This story is dark, twisted, and intense. I never knew where it was going to go. This story was written so well and it’s like you get to put a puzzle together as you read and figure it all out. The twists and turns left me wanting more and that ending has left me speechless, I can’t wait for the next book! I think Madman is one of my favorite characters now… I would highly recommend this book!
Oh this book is the darkest of dark and so twisted. More than just a 5 star read!!! Omg….this book….is so freaking good and has left me speechless with the WTF just happened in my head. Really…this book is a must read for all you dark and twisted readers out there…no judgement here..I floved this dark and twisted read and wondering can I really wait until October for the next book?!?! Looks like we all have to, but I will be re-reading this one again right before the next books release day for sure.
Happy Reading Everyone!!!
Cassandra is a strong heroine looking for vengeance. Madman is the perfect anti-hero and so interesting. This story has so many twists and turns and goes into the past and present. There’s a cliffhanger you won’t see coming but the next book comes out soon.
10 DARK TWISTED STARS!!! Holy Moly this story has invaded my brain…I keep replaying it over and over again. This book is in my TOP 5 READS FOR 2019. Madman and Cassandra’s story is dark, twisted, mind blowing and beautiful. V.F. Mason is phenomenal at her storytelling….I am so hooked on her words….GIVE ME MORE!! You must read this book if you like this kind of story…..SO GOOD!!!
Wow! How have I not read VF Mason before?!? This book is flipping awesome! It’s dark and twisted with a sprinkle of love mixed in to give you hope that everything turns out right. You really feel for Cassandra and want her to get her vengeance and a happy ending but she’ll be lucky to end up with even one. It is so well written that the plot twists leaving you craving more, needing to know what craziness happens next including the ending. I need the next book now!!
***5 Stars***
UGGGHHH
Why do I have to wait soooo long for the conclusion?!?!
*slumps down and sighs*
I know, I know. This is a duet and I knew before going in that there would be a cliffy, and honestly I’m sooo not mad at it. It was all kinds of crazy awesome…but still…
But with that outburst done.
I kind of adore Madman and Cassandra. These two are all kinds of dark, twisted and absolutely fascinating ~ especially since they have a strong moral code of their own and are too intelligent for their own good. Their journey is quite convoluted and, as you know, not done yet, but they just work for me. There is a flow to them, it may be obsessive and twisted, but it’s there and I cannot wait to see what it takes for them to get their unique HEA.
This is only my second read by the author, and as with the first, I still can’t believe it took me sooo long to dive into her words. The description does a very good job at giving you an idea of what you will encounter, but the reality is much more vibrant in its darkness and enthralling and I cannot wait to get my hands on the conclusion to Madman and Cassandra’s story!

Holy mind games – breathe in – breathe out
“If your heart rules your head, you are set for failure. The path of revenge should be devoid of any emotion.” – Lachlan
If only Cassandra had heeded that warning
But vengeance can blind even the most stoic sinner or saint for that matter.
I felt lost during so much of this story. Not lost in the general sense more like … I guess like Arianna and Cassandra – I was getting only parts of the whole I knew there was more but it kept eluding me.
We get flashbacks to Arianna’s story which is the motive behind Cassandra’s actions. She is such a kick-arse heroine! I loved her wit and her duck it attitude!
I want to toss in here real quick… So many of my favorites make cameos in this story!! Now back to Madman and Cassandra.
Madman * sigh* I always question at what point I connect (definition- I want to keep them) with the anti-hero for Madman it was the cabin – after that, it was all downhill with regards to his personality – but in that one moment I saw him- I believed I could save him…and it stuck.
There are so many little clues that I did not put together until it was too late. A few heart-stopping OMG moments that had me holding my breath, as well as a few that would have tugged at my heartstrings possibly causing me to shed a tear but I have to agree with Cassandra here – it wasn’t like you didn’t have it coming to you. Someone had to drive the Karma bus and in this instance, it just happens to be Cassandra… Maybe… Maybe not?
I am a Mason junkie – I won’t even try to deny it. The way she twists the facts. The subtle nuances of her characters. How every story manages to have me questioning my own moral lines.
I love her work.
This ends on a cliffhanger… It’s a duet folks
It has lots of triggers – Really callous characters – and violence
That being said – I need the conclusion now…please
