Malice (Dahlia Saga #1)

Everyone knows the stories about naïve girls being taken by beautiful monsters.

Often the monster is a tortured soul with a fucked up past, but even then, that monster is redeemable.

This is not one of those stories.

My monster revels in the carnage he creates.

Our story is not one where good prevails and the villain becomes a hero.

My reality is dark.

His demons are darker.

And though I love my monster, this is no fairytale.

There is no happily ever after.

Obscene (Dahlia Saga #2)

Love is a tragedy designed for two.

What would you endure to see it through?

I was nothing.

He was both madness and paradise.

I was innocent.

He was twisted, harboring sadistic secrets.

I was a malignant obsession.

Now I am his most prized possession.

Back inside the halls of Dahlia -

Mason returns to care for his father and prepare to take over the family business.

"I knew better though. Sometimes our heads could be a dangerous place. My mind had always been my worst enemy. "

- Katie

Katie was just a touch different

The voices at times were just a little too loud

And not all her thoughts were pure, but she was a good girl.

"People tell you to be yourself, and then they judge you for it. "

- Mason

Mason knew she was made for him.

She was just like him, she was just afraid to be herself.

He would fix her, even if he had to break her first.

Katie has a backbone she just forgets it's there at times. Her mom was a piece of work and the emotional berating she bombarded Katie with growing up would offset anyone's sense of self-worth. I have to say her 'internal' discussions were entertaining and at times almost childlike in their innocence at other times her quest for blood rivaled Mason's. Though she did not act on her fantasies. She was a good girl. It was interesting to watch as Mason helped her spread her wings (??)

Mason was so head over heels for Katie. Anything for her. He truly lacked any patience with the outside world but Katie, even when she was stomping on his last nerve, was different for him. He saved her once (so not telling) and he was going to save her again - No matter the cost.

Each episode uncovers a few more secrets delivering to its reader another piece of the puzzle. Each new unveiling sheds light on the 'hobbies' of our resident serial killers.

I adore this family - get beyond the hobbies and there is a lot to them. The bond between them. How they truly hold family and honesty in such high regards. The way they rationalize their art.

This is graphic dark romance - note the word graphic -

please don't play in the red room if the flowing crimson might pose a problem for you
