WARNING
This book is for grownups. This book is not for …
This book is for grownups. This book is not for people who are easily offended, get nightmares easily, or have difficulty reading books about tough subjects. I do not glorify bad things, but bad things do happen to my poor characters. This is not your typical love story. My heroine does not fall in love and live happily ever after… at least not like the typical heroine. There is a happily ever after, but it is a long, painful journey to that end.
This book will likely offend you. This book might make you cry; it might make you throw up. It is a dark book. As my friend, Heidi, said, “It’s dark. It gets darker. It gets even darker, and then it gets even more darker. And then, just when you think it can’t get any darker, it does.”
But, don’t worry. I take you to the deep end gradually. 😉
There are many sexual situations in this series of books. People die. People get hurt. Things aren’t always truly the way they appear. The antagonist isn’t just a bad guy; he’s EVIL. My heroine’s worldview is skewed; things that may appall you are perfectly normal to her.
Any violence in this book is non-gratuitous and crucial to the plot and character development.
Do not read this if you are under the age of consent in your country. Do not get angry if the subject or actual book upsets you. If you’re reading this, you’ve been warned.

If you’ve made it this far, well done. This author just keeps on getting better, the story just keeps on getting more and more twisted. There are so many sub plots going on that you really have to concentrate.
Alex has found a way to protect Anna and reduce Devin’s influence over her. He is just perfect for her. Until something happens to Alex that removes him from Anna’s life. Devin then ups the anti plundering Anna into a life of slavery like nothing she has ever seen until now. There is no end to the depths that Devin will make Anna endure. I thought book two was depraved but OMG that was a walk in the park compared to this. There are times when I could physically feel the pain inflicted on the characters. Marissa writes with a no holds barred style, she is very descriptive in her writing. Again more twists and turns as we strive towards Devin’s ultimate goal of world domination as he tries to influence and control major key players in the political field
I love the German vocab in places and in my head I have Alex, Wilhelm and Kurt talking with a German accent. That is the beauty of this author… you immediately change voices in your head depending on which character is talking. Her characters are very very real and take on a life of their own.
I am just in awe at this authors style of writing, it’s very easy going, thorough, everything is covered, thought through and planned down to the smallest of detail. At times it feels a little long winded but it’s just because I’m getting impatient for Devin’s reign of terror to end and for it all to come crashing down!! There is no way this book could be rushed, a lot of the intensity would be lost. We definitely have to play the long game even if it means sleepless nights and book hangovers!!
In this book there is a lighter tone and things calm down for Anna. There are a lot of sweet and more tender moment. Anna does come across as a bit fickle. She is constantly in love with someone else. Her emotions are just all over the Place. I liked the fact she stood up to Devin, even if it was just for a short time.
I completely lost myself in this book! The beginning was rainbows and sunshine until the the darkness enveloped us once again. So much love and happiness and then so much pain and excruciating sadness. This book really screwed me up! Twisted doesn’t even begin to cover it! Just when I think I’ve read it all, Marissa slams us with more triggers!! The story is really well written. I could seriously have nightmares from this book lol… not kidding!
WARNING! Read the author’s note! Read the reviews! This book is not for everyone !!
I think in my long list of reasons I’m going to Hell, reading this book is now included. Just when you think Anna’s FINALLY breaking free of her evil Master Devin and getting her HEA, a series of WTF just happened happens! No spoilers, but there were times I had to put my Kindle down and take some deep calming breaths. I’m not sure if this is even considered dark erotica anymore…it’s like a chamber of horrors. The author has written this nightmare to make it feel so real, I can hear the screaming long after I’ve stopped reading. I’m scared to continue…but I will…
After finishing I really don’t know what to say I am going to try and do this review spoiler free
The first half of this book is Kind of Calm to what we have read in the first 2 books but the stuff that happened made me annoyed I was shouting at my kindle I had to put it down and walk away for a break Just when we think Anna will be happy Bam Devin does his thing and hurts her She tries to cope with it the best she can Then Alex comes in and well……. I was so happy at this point of the book really happy and I thought Yes He will not let that Evil Devin hurt her again but Happiness just isn’t in the cards for poor Anna Just when you think they are both Happy BAM! Devin comes back even worse than before he is a Monster he made me sick in this book how much more can you put someone through My heart Broke for Anna bit time in the book and all she wanted was Alex and well…… you will have to read it to find out what happens This book is such a rollercoaster of a ride People will leave, others return and there will even be some casualties that’ll make you go NOOOOOO WAYYYYYY and WHY JUST WHY!
I felt loads of emotions through this book and by the end I was just speechless and I can’t wait for book 4
Alex is hotter than hot in this book I love him
Devin is more sadistic than ever he is pure Evil at its best he is a MONSTER and he shows it in this book
