Wow! This is definitely a five star read for me. What a wild ride. It had me gripped from the very first page and I did not want to put it down and even took it with me to read whilst doing housework just so I could finish it.
This book can be enjoyed time and time again. It is amazingly intense and the author prepares you for the journey for you to take alongside the characters really well. The characters and story development were perfectly done. This book was extremley well written and has fast become of my favourite books. I will definitely want to one click future releases from this author. This book was full of different emotions with many twists and turns in the book that will keep you guessing what is going to happen till the very end.
I could not wait to get to the end so I devoured it in one sitting. Incredible work!!
The storyline was done really well and was believable. It kept me gripped from the very start until the end, so much so I took the book everywhere with me in order to finish it. I adore this book and cannot wait to read the next in the series as well as other work from this amazing author. I will definitely be recommending this author to everyone I know.
Words just cannot express how amazing this book is!!!
***5 ‘Holy fuck fuck fuck’ Stars***
I’m thinking that *Points up to the rating* should be enough to express how I feel about this book right?
Okay, I know it’s not. But seriously? It does sum it up quite nicely. It’s dark, brutal, heart wrenching and gut wrenching and yet you find you can’t stop reading. You get to the point where it’s just too much but you keep going because you have to know if Jade gets her payback.
Jade is at the epicenter of this dark journey and what happened to her was horrific and that’s an understatement. She’s survived but is still trapped in hell and the only way to end it all is end the man who put here there in the first place. As much as I hated and was sickened by what happened to Jade ~ physically, emotionally and mentally ~ I totally admired her strength and determination and was rooting for her the entire time.
Then there are the other characters in this dark journey who make their mark. My favorite is Dillon, which really is a no brainer because the man is my kind of alpha male. Stubborn, strong, a little broken, sexy as hell and has a thing for strong women. But the other one who fascinates me is Benny. Maybe it’s because I’m that girl who tends to be more fascinated by the bad guy in a movie than the hero, but I NEED to know why he became the way he is. Then there is Macy. I had a feeling about her and that feeling proved correct so I’m totally looking forward to finding out part she will play when all is said and done.
This was my first read by either of these authors and talk about starting off with a bang! The writing was engaging and so seamlessly done that had I not know it was two authors writing it I never would have figured it out. There is a cliffhanger ending, I did know about it before starting the book, and I thought it was the perfect place to leave things. So now all I can say is…Bring on Pretty Lost Dolls baby!
Description
Wow. I’m speechless. This books is amazing. I couldn’t stop reading. If I did take a break, it didn’t last more than a few minutes. Eat… read… bathroom… read… laundry… read… work… read… sleep… read…
I think I only got a few hours of sleep because this book kept me up all night.
It’s dark. It’s abusive. And layered with mystery and suspense.
My favorite part of this series is that it feels like a detective novel at times. Jade is completely focused to bring justice to the man that captured her and her sister years ago. Luckily, Jade was able to fight her way out and find help, but she still hasn’t been able to find her sister.
When her captor resurfaces, he leaves crumbs for Jade to follow. His dirty little doll.
This book isn’t for everyone. It deals with abduction and child abuse. But if you are a reader that can handle dark books, this is a MUST READ.
Pretty Stollen Dolls kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. It was dark, twisted and full of suspense.
Jade and Macy are both warned of the dangers of strangers. Nothing they’ve been taught prepares them for what they encounter in broad daylight.
The monster they cross paths with is all kinds of crazy and so unpredictable. Will they manage to escape his clutches?
After hearing so many good praises about the Pretty Little Dolls series, I finally got a chance to start this dark and wicked crime thriller series. I went into Pretty Stolen Dolls blinded and it shocked speechless. The book blurb summed up the plot of the story pretty well. However, the mystery, the suspense and the buildup were so riveting and captivating; I was pulled right into the story.
The pace of the story was a little slow and monotonous in the beginning centering around Jade’s struggle with her nightmare from her painful past and her sense of detachment even when she had built a life surrounded by loved ones years after her escape. Nobody fully understood her until her partner, Dillion, knocked down the wall that surrounded her.
With a new string of new murders came up, the pace of the book started to picked up. The suspense and the gruesome discoveries kept me on the edge of the seat. The story ended with a shocking and twisted revelation. I cannot wait to continue on with the series in Pretty Lost Dolls.
I have never read a story like this before as I struggle to keep up with all the little signs. This was amazing though and kept me hooked all the way through. Benny and his dirty little doll. Can’t wait for the next book
Why I haven’t read this book before now is beyond me. This story consumed me. I wanted to read this book in one sitting and I almost did as I knew I was going to have a restless sleep because of the content…. and I was correct. To be honest, I don’t think finishing this first book would have made any difference because of that ending!!!! I desperately need to read the next book, and I am so thankful that I can download it straight away!
Pretty Stolen Dolls is one of those WOW reads. It is certainly not for the faint hearted and I say that because I know that I can be affected by what I read….. and I was. There are some graphic scenes that almost made me put my kindle down BUT I couldn’t, because I was already addicted and also desperate to know how this story concluded. The emotions that this story is bringing out in me are compulsive, and my heart rate won’t go back to normal until I know that all is well….. if that even happens!
This dark, gripping, twisted and suspenseful story messed with my mind. I suspected everyone at some point to be involved in what was happening and I am sitting here stunned at recent revelations. What an incredible story!!
Pretty Stolen Dolls is a must read for those who enjoy crime thrillers. I have to say that Ker Dukey and K Webster wrote this book brilliantly. Now please excuse me whilst I go and purchase Pretty Lost Dolls and get back to reading the story that I am eager to finish.
Wow. Wow. Wow.
This book is all kinds of dark, mixed with suspense and steam. I feel like I’m right there, feeling the main character’s fear and confusion. I have no idea what will happen, and I love it!
This series is everything I want in a dark romance. Highly recommend.
This book was all kinds of dark and twisty, that I couldn’t put it down even if I wanted to! I was so immersed in this story that I was on the edge of my seat in anticipation of what was to come, my heart was racing from the craziness that unfolded page after page and I was abso-freaking-lutely consumed mind, body and soul with this book. The last chapter had me screaming and in utter shock that I was left speechless. This series was highly recommended to me and all I can say is that…..without a doubt this is a TOP READ for me!
I didn’t know it was to be continued in another book, leaving me hanging. It was too unrealistic. I wanted to quit wasting my time reading it but wanted to see it to the end. I should have just skipped to the end. Spoiler alert– who skips the reception at the end of both parents funeral to go to a bar and then have hot sex in the car with her cop partner??
I LOVE this book. The characters are something. Suspense for sure in the series.
If you haven’t already heard, this book is filled with all kinds of triggers, so be warned. It is dark and twisted. Jade and her little sister were kidnapped when they were young children, but after several years, Jade managed to escape. Now, eight years later, she is a detective and still on the hunt for her kidnapper and to find the sister she had to leave behind with him. While the story takes place in the present, there are flashbacks to her years in captivity, exposing us to the horrors the two girls had to live through. This is book one of a four book series and it does end with a cliffhanger. The characters are brilliantly written. As you may expect, there is explicit sexual content, including some of those trigger-induced situations. There is also brutal violence (some we get to experience, others we get the aftermath.) This is most definitely intended for mature readers, and not for the faint of heart. It is written from her POV.
Holy schnikes! This story is intense!!!! There are triggers galore – I am talking kidnapping, sexual assault, abuse, and captivity – this isn’t a rainbows and sunshine romance. This is dark, gritty, heart breaking and infuriating – but at the same you will want to fight by Jade’s side and hold her hand while she deals with the demon of her past. I was pulled into Jade’s world – the Hell that she went thru being held captive by an insane individual. I loved how strong, determined, and brave Jade is in this. Dillon is an amazingly fantastic character as well. Benny – oh this twistedly evil guy, I have to know what happened to make him this way. I was on the edge of my seat and glued to my kindle from page one – that cliffhanger though!!! I am getting ready to dive into the next in this series because I have to know what happens next.
Jade and Macy Phillips were taught to be cautious around strangers but one day they visited the local flea market and were tempted by a handsome man offering a deal on a beautiful doll. Being the older sister, Jade, tried to protect them from danger but it was too late before she realized monsters exist out in the open. After four years of being Benny’s pretty little doll, Jade sees an opportunity to escape and runs to freedom.
Now in her 20’s, Jade is a police detective intent on revenge against Benny. Leaving Macy was the hardest decision she ever had to make, but her only hope now is to locate Macy and save what remains of her sister. The latest missing girl and murder case has Jade on full alert and when certain coincidences begin to occur, she is positive Benny is looking for a new doll.
As Jade further investigates, memories are triggered causing her to reconcile the past with her present. But while it all seems to be spinning out of control, for the first time, Jade has someone that will fight with her and having such security is a completely new concept for her, but will she get what she always wanted.
Pretty Stolen Dolls is a dark thriller at its best. Written in first person POV alternating between the past and present, Jade’s life unfolds giving the reader the innocent and tainted moments. Knowing Benny is at large provides such ominous foreboding because he doesn’t see boundaries and he will stop at nothing reclaim Jade. But, Jade is brave and resolute about seeking justice.
Jade is a character I instantly liked and admired. She is stubborn, strong and sarcastic and it’s those qualities that enabled her to escape Benny’s prison. Having someone like Dillon in her life adds complimentary dimension to her already complex character. With Benny, he is a true villain with his own issues but his role as a predator is deviously plotted to precision. To manipulate and orchestrate people is one of his greatest strengths, yet he eerily uses such skills for evil.
In this collaborative book with Ker Dukey and K. Webster, the prose flowed seamlessly and the plot was provocatively rich with thriller elements such as tension, intimacy, empathy and fear. To say this plot is tightly woven is an understatement because Wow! When I finished this book, I was so excited because the authors successfully took me on a dark and thrilling journey to the very last word. I loved it!
Without saying more, this is a book you have to experience. I highly recommend Pretty Stolen Dolls!!
4 Dirty little doll stars,
Ker Dukey and K Webster are like evil plotting author twins, seriously these two authors with their heads together are dangerous for a readers sanity.
I read most of this book with my mouth open, one twist after another. I’ve been on rollercoaster reads before but Pretty Stolen Dolls is the black hole of rollercoasters, you’re on the ride and can’t get off, waiting for the light to come, the end of the gruesome ride, but it doesn’t but at the same time it’s thrilling and exciting.
A dark read that takes you to the edge and back, filled with suspense and an absolutely mind-blowing plot.
“All of your pieces are mine to hold. Each shard is mine to willingly slice myself on, you’re worth the pain.
In fact, I want to embrace that pain if it means, even for a second, I can take some of that pain from you”
Told in dual pov’s, mainly Jade’s the end of Pretty Stolen Dolls has you desperate for more from this evil plotting duo.
Well done ladies, brilliant!
Holy Shit what did I just read! Mind-F**k! Unbelievable! First book by this tag team and it was amazing! It is very Dark but oh so good! This book is so twisted that it amazes how they can think this stuff up. It was horrible watching all that Jade went through while trying to catch her kidnapper Bennie and hoping her sister is alive.
If you love Dark and Twisted, Read This Book!!
Omg! This book is everything dark and twisted and suspenseful. I was clutching my kindle and holding my breath the whole way through this wild ride. The storyline was fast paced and packed with action. The characters were so well developed I felt like I knew them. Every page uncovered another layer to each character and different secrets of the story and my mind is totally blown! K Webster and Ker Dukey have started a phenomenal series and I can’t wait for more!
SVU meets Criminal Minds, this is their twisted offspring. A haunting tale of obsession.
Past and present perspective of a stolen doll. Jade battles with her emotional, tragic past and her present need for revenge. Dirty little doll. Broken little Jade. The past comes back to haunt her. Is she losing her mind or has Benny always controlled the game?
I was hooked from page one. The abduction was chilling, realistic, and terrifying. I can almost not a say a thing because of spoilers, so yeah, this will be vague. Jade’s flashbacks were sick, twisted, yet completely compelling. I wanted to visit the mind of the deranged, as twisted as it was, I couldn’t look away. What makes Benny tick? The present is almost more tragic. As Jade uncovers all her broken pieces one layer at a time, she’s also searching for the man that invades her mind, one nightmare at a time. I was trying to piece the puzzle together, trying to solve this case, I was on the hunt right with cops. I felt this surge of electricity every time there was another piece of evidence uncovered.
That’s not even half of what goes on in this book. Jade finds peace for just a minute. Maybe she can heal with the help of her partner, Dillon. Dillon added another layer to this story. You can’t not love this guy, he definitely weaseled his way into my dark heart.
“All of your pieces are mine to hold. Each shard is mine to willingly slice myself on. You’re worth the pain. In fact, I want to embrace that pain if it means, even for one second, I can take some of that pain from you.”
The twists were unpredictable, jaw dropping with intensity. I loved every bit of this book. I’ll be hanging off this cliff until I get the next book.
HOLY HELL!!!!!!!! This book definitely lived up to all the reviews. It is not a story for the faint of heart. This is a dark twisted tale of a completely f’ed up family. There are monsters hiding in plain sight that you need to watch out for and this book tells you why. I couldn’t put this book down until I finished it and then started the next one immediately.
If you are a fan of the tv shows Criminal Minds and Law & Order SVU this book will not disappoint
