Omfg! This book is DARK. It’s brutal, distressing, sickening, suspenseful… and somewhere amongst that shit, there’s romance too. As for the ending?! Gahhhhhh!!
Brilliantly written. What a crazy journey we are taken on. I couldn’t put this book down and devoured it in one day. And I need more.
“Your master wants to play. What game are you going to play with me today, dirty little doll?”
Ker Dukey and K. Webster should co-write at least one book each year to feed my dark soul. Both authors are so phenomenal in the twisted, mind-fuck, suspense, and dark romance genre. So my expectations for this book were very high. They didn’t disappoint at all. I loved the original and creepy concept with the dolls. I loved how the authors started this book, the prologue was very suspenseful and sad at the same time. I couldn’t wait to read more, and the moment I started I couldn’t put this book down.
I loved the characters in this book. I especially loved the main female character and how strong and dedicated she was to her job. She was on a mission and would do anything to make sure she completed that mission. Thankfully she had a very strong person backing her up and supporting her.
This book had very dark elements and the suspense was amazing. Towards the end I figured something out and had to go back to reread a couple of chapters. The authors did a great job by adding that twist in the book. I thought this book was a stand-alone, but while I was reading it I found out the story willy continue/conclude in Pretty Stolen Dolls. I CAN’T WAIT for that book to release. I am glad this book wasn’t a stand-alone because I was flying through the pages in a very fast pace and I didn’t want it to end (which it didn’t). This book was very easy to read and I had no clue which author wrote which part. I need more books co-written by them.
Only these two queens of darkness can take a childhood nursery rhyme and turn it into something dark and depraved. Together, the insanity that these authors have perfected is off the charts!!
Benny is a deranged mad man with a penchant for pretty dolls. He is a predator that steals them, dresses them up and “plays” with them. Two sisters are abducted and introduced into the horrible nightmare that is Benny. For years they are his Pretty Little Dolls. One lucky day his favorite doll ran.. ran.. ran…, but was unable to save her sister.
Years later, Benny is back and he misses his Dirty Little Doll. He wants her back, and he’s coming for her leaving a bloody trail in his wake. And if he is coming for her, did he become bored with the pretty little doll who couldn’t be saved?
The suspenseful ending leaves you with a desperation for more and cursing the author’s wickedness!
Until these two sinister authors render the next installment I will be in the corner rocking back and forth singing:
“Miss Polly had a dolly who was sick, sick, sick.
So she phoned for the doctor to be quick, quick, quick.
The doctor came with his bag and hat,
And he knocked at the door with a rat-a-tat-tat.
He looked at the dolly and shook his head,
And he said, ‘Miss Polly, put her straight to bed!’
He wrote on a paper for a pill, pill, pill,
‘I’ll be back in the morning, yes I will, will, will.’”
Well this was all kinds of dark and twisty. How do these two come up with this stuff?? I would’ve love to sit in on that brainstorming session! This book is so messed up, but in a good way. I’m sitting here thinking, what in the hell did I just read? I couldn’t stop reading! It’s like you want to stop reading because the story line is 2 kinds of crazy. But on the flip side, you’re like keep going, you need to find out more. I feel the need to talk this out with someone! Other people have got to experience this, if you’re a fan of dark and twisty. If you’re not, then yeah, don’t read it.
Cheese and rice I can’t wait for the second book
This is my first book by Ker Dukey and K. Webster….WHY did I wait so long??? You can bet I will be reading all of their sick/twisted books!!!!
OMG, OMG, OMG!!!! What the heck just happened???? Talk about a suck you in, page turner, never let you go until the very last page. And, of course, its a cliffhanger, but I knew this, so I waited until I had all 4!
This book has EVERYTHING….kidnapping, abuse, rape, murder, torture, graphic sex, serious crazy moments, wanna throw your kindle moments, what the hell just happened moments, and everything in between and I LOVED IT!!!
If you need a HEA or have triggers than this is NOT the book for you, but if you love a good mind fu** than what are you waiting for???? Get the book NOW.
I cannot believe it has taken me this long to ride the Ker Dukey / K Webster train. This book was so messed up it completely screwed with your mind. Absolutely fantastic, it was sick, dark, twisted and suspenseful with a solid helping of horror and gore. This book had everything thrown at it.
This book is covers the taboo topics of kidnapping, rape, serial killings, physical and psychological abuse. If you are not a lover of dark and twisted move on, this book isn’t for you. For me, it was addictive, a real page turner. I spent most of my time reading this book holding my breath… Benny gave me the creeps. Is it wrong to be intrigued by him…?
Told mainly from a first person POV, the book was fast paced. It really was a thrill seeker’s paradise. All of the characters held my attention… My heart even went out to some characters. And as for Dillion… wow that guy was hot. Delicious!
I cannot praise this book highly enough. 5 dark and twisted stars!
I thought I was prepared going into reading a joint collaboration between theses two Queens of darkness. OH HELL, TO THE FUCKING SHIT NO I WASN’T!
This read was off the charts intense, dark, and terrifying!
Brilliantly written, I became a spectator in the scenes unfolding on each page. The characters made their appearance and absorbed you into their world. I felt the fear, the pain, their cuts. I smelled the blood and death. This is a twisted dysfunctional marriage between a crime and a horror thriller. As much as I wanted to walk away from my kindle to catch my breath, turn on some lights…I couldn’t.
I don’t want to give much away because you should just go ahead jump in and read it. But I will say this…
Jade and Macy were kidnapped by Benny. One day Jade escapes, but is always haunted by the memories of her past. Eight years later he contacts her and the hunt is on. Now a detective, she and her hot alpha partner Dillon go in search of Benny.
What happens next, my lips are sealed
Oh my god this book was quite the trip through crazy town!! The shocking story of abuse and suspense was nerve wracking to say the least!! I had to force myself to go to sleep when I was at 80% done at 4:30am!! This book ends in a cliffhanger but do not let it deter you from buying this book!! It is worth the time you will have to wait for the sequel!! This book is quite dark and it will make you feel uncomfortable at times, but I love a book that can get under my skin and make me feel all kinds of emotions, and this book does that in spades!! I highly recommend this book and now I count down the days and tap my foot waiting for the next book!!
I’m sorry.
I honestly don’t know where to start. This was a whole movie in a book and I never wanted it to end.
Suspense? Check.
Heat? Check.
A plot that will keep you engaged from the first word to the last? Check.
Twists that will leave you reeling and keep the suspense going? Double check.
I never wanted it to end or run out of pages. It had me gripped from the very first page.
Reminder: This is a dark romance with scenes that will make you cringe but that fits the story to a T.
Our h is Jade. She has had a rough life from the time she was fourteen while browsing the flea market with her younger sister. Now I don’t want to go into serious spoiler details so I can’t describe too much what changed from their lives other than, well you guessed it, Benny.
Benny, you know, the un-sub that likes Pretty Dolls? ‘Un-sub’, see what I did there? Can you tell I was a Criminal Minds fan? Lol
Pretty Stolen Dolls is a gripping tale of tragedy, fear, suspense, heat, hope and a healthy dose of strength. Jade is one of the strongest women I’ve read. Through everything she’s been through and experiences she’s underwent in the hands of Benjamin, she still chose to fight. She is, in every sense of the word, a survivor.
Dillon is her partner, and has been for the past eight years. He’s tough as nails and has a matching ego to boot, or at least we see so. Their romance didn’t starts off from the beginning. They were just frenemies at first, always trying to jerk each other’s chains off.
The events that lead them towards each other in a more intimate level were both sweet and heart breaking. I broke seeing the things Jade had been through since she was just a teen. I hurt for the damages she now feels inside her, for her insecurities and fears. I loved that Dillon was such a tough alpha male but that also doesn’t act like an overprotective douche and actually involves her in things.
Did I forget to mention that the chemistry between these two are off the charts? I needed to bathe in ice-water to cool off.. lol
Dillon’s gaze narrows, finally landing back on my face. “Put some fucking clothes on. We need to talk and I can’t do that with you standing there looking so god-damned tempting.”
Tempting?
I stare at him dumbfounded.
“Move your skinny little ass, Phillips,” Dillon barks, “or I’m going to be talking to you with my cock nine inches deep inside your hot little body.”
Nine?
I move my skinny little ass.
See?!? H-O-T-T-T
Though they didn’t start of with romantic feelings from the start, I loved that they’ve known each other for eight years. That’s a long build-up, if I ever heard one, it fit perfectly with them.
The suspense within this book was nonstop. It flowed through every page onto the next one, until you’ll end up biting your nails anxiously. I felt the fear as well as the pain and every scene or flashback had me at the edge of my seat.
“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.”
I just about melted right there. Can I have a Dillon too? Lol
This story was written so well by these two authors, the descriptions so vivid I could practically see everything in my mind.
Do I recommend this to everyone? Well, if you’re into a book with dark themes then hell yeah, I definitely do.
One of the best books of 2016 I’ve ever read and I am now anxiously awaiting the next, Pretty Lost Dolls.
I have heard so many things about this novel and I have had it sitting in my Kindle forever. Trying to pick it up has been a challenge with other reading commitments, but I couldn’t resist any longer. I had to read this no matter what.
And boy am I glad I did.
Twisted….The ultimate twisted a novel could ever get.
Dark….So dark it was almost like it darkened my own soul.
Sickening, raw, graphic and all things gut-wrnching….This is what this novel is to me.
And I loved every minute of it.
Jade and Macy.
Sisters joined at the hip.
The love they share is unique.
Jade being older, it’s her job to protect her little sister Macy.
Their daddy taught them that monsters lurk everywhere and to always be careful, never talk to strangers.
The girls ALWAYS take their daddy’s advice.
That is until one fateful day at a flea market.
That is until Macy so desperately wants a doll that Jade will cave and do anything for her little sister to have it.
Even if it means doing the complete opposite of what they were both taught.
And what happens next is what nightmares are made of.
Jade and Macy are taken.
They will become the monsters prisoners.
They will become his play things.
They will be come his dolls.
Four long years locked away from the world, tortured, abused both mentally and psychically, innocence shattered, Jade finally makes her escape vowing to return for her sister.
Years, eight long years Jade has been free with still no success in finding her baby sister.
No evidence, no trail.
Nothing.
Not even Jade, now detective can get her any closer to solving her sister’s whereabouts.
How can Jade deal with the guilt of leaving her behind?
Will Macy survive at the hands of the monster still keeping her?
Can Jade save her or is it too late?
Guys I have so much love for this novel. Such a graphic, dark and powerful read that I couldn’t put it down. Devouring it in just one day I was completely blown away. A manipulation of the mind that left me speechless.
I cannot wait to dive into the next.
A spectacular read.
5 stars
This is a great book. It is dark though so if that isn’t your bag don’t read it. There is a great story here not really any romance. The main character does find love though but this is not a romance book to me. There is a cliff hanger ending for this book so you have to read book 2 which is even better in my opinion. Usually I write a lot of spoilers but I don’t want to with this you have to read it.
As it is Kerry alone could fuck your mind, add to her the devious twisted Cuke-loving mind of webster and its a volcano waiting to explode. Imagine a world when Bloodthirsty Ryan merges personality with Cucumber loving Gabe and you get Benjamin “Benny” He loves stealing dolls, mutilating and cutting them , then he dresses and paints them. But when it comes to his Perfect Dolly – Jade Philips,he falls in warped love with her. He keeps her sister Macy as a hostage and a carrot that he dangles in front of Jade to get her to use her. On one fateful day Jade escapes , but a piece of Benny’s Monster festers in her soul and no matter how far she runs , the monster eats at her.
Now He’s Back……
Bodies are being slaughtered , people being abducted, sliced open, hit by trucks,
ominous Messages are being left like bread crumbs for Jade to follow and surrender to him.
BUT , he is not alone!!!! *gasp*
This story is your darkest and deepest fears coming alive. Its nail biting, flesh chewing scary intensity that both Kerry and Kristi boil in a couldron and serve you hot.
You will be Scared
You wll be hypnotised
You will curse and pray
You will throw your book at the wall
You will Love sweet Bo and Lust after Dillon
But you wont put it down!!
Where do I begin with this one. It was amazing and maybe that makes me a little sick, sick, sick. You really feel for Jade and Macy in this book. I want to hurt Benny like physically hurt him while also learning what makes him tick. Bo is an a$$hole (not in the good way) for what he did to Jade. Dillion is perfect for her and I’m glad she has him as a partner. The therapist part was brilliant!! The story ends on a cliffhanger and I’m about to start it really quick, quick, quick.
“Miss Polly had a dolly who was sick, sick, sick.
So she phoned for the doctor to be quick, quick, quick.”
“Something passes between us…another human sharing pain…two souls touching the essence of each other.”
This story is all kinds of dark…deliciously wonderful DARK. If you feel brave enough to meet Benny and be one of his pretty little dolls, then I invite you to go one click and be consumed by his madness. But be warned, once you enter this world, there is no turning back…you will learn that not all monsters hunt in the dark.
Pretty Stolen Dolls
What in the actual hell just happened?!
This book took a lot out of me. I started it and had to take several breaks. I needed to walk away and find some peace before I could continue. It’s deep and twisted and darrrrrk!
Benny was a twisted individual- twisted. The amount of abuse he inflicted on his dolls- it was something only these twisted authors could get away with writing. I mean, damn!
There were points in the book where I was almost wanting Benny to have a break through and realize what he was doing was wrong. I think because of how detailed the authors were about the abuse he suffered from his twisted parents. You never really want someone to be evil and they pulled on the heart strings that made me almost feel sorrow for him.
Benny wanted to be anything except a man like his father was. The parts of the story that really got me were always of him saying things to defend himself while doing a horrible act- rapping a woman and screaming he wasn’t a pervert! Gawddddd how insane was this book?!
This story is not for the faint of heart as it deals with child abuse, kidnapping, rape and a corrupt legal system- if his father was ever really a police officer. I have a feeling there is more to come about this later…..
I would recommend you be ready to feel anxious for the duration of this novel.
Off to the next Dolly book
Happy Reading
