<—- Oh look you guys!! Er…. well, I mean, only look if you’re one of those that like the darker kidnappy books. 😉 This appears to be one of ’em! It was on one of my Friday bargain deals posts, and now it’s a series that’s 3 books long. Bad guy criminals, one’s shot and the other kidnaps a doctor and forces her to fix him. And then… she’s not allowed to go. GAH! (and oooohhh I wonder what happens?!). I shall find out soon enough, as I have the first one in my iPad.

Book Review – Wanderlust by Skye Warren
Wanderlust
<—- First off – BEWARE OF DARK READ!!! Enter this review (and book at your own risk). Deals with VERY difficult subject matter and I worried that it was too hard for me, in the beginning part, even if these are totally up my dark alley. But I’m glad I stuck with it. I ended up loving it.
Maryse’s Book Blog: Okay so I’m continuing my “Dark-read” weekend (impromptu, but I’m just in the mood for Dark and scary potential romance, it would appear).
Book Review – Mafia Captive by Kitty Thomas
Mafia Captive
I haven’t read all of Kitty Thomas’s books yet, but I’m already a HUGE fan. There’s a certain addictive quality to her writing and her dark tales that ensure I will read every single Kitty book out of her repertoire (and the sooner, the better). I just can’t get enough. Plus!! She’s one of “my firsts” (see my review for Comfort Food – I had never read anything like that before and was torn as to what I was feeling). It was my first super-dark-read with a side of questionable romantic connection and unnerving emotion, and I was… bonding with the monster!!? I was experiencing Stockholm Syndrome via a book! GAH!!! I couldn’t believe it (and yet I was titillated!)
Sherri Hayes – Finding Anna Series Reading Order
The first two in this series were a part of my “dark reads marathon” last year and they were pretty good! I didn’t go as crazy over them, as I did a few of my other “dark-favorites”, but it was certainly an interesting and different look into an kidnapped-turned-human-slave’s world, and I’m curious where #3 will lead us. I would say this series is a gentler version of some of the dark “kidnap” reads we’ve read in the past. (You can check out my reviews here and here).
Book Review – The Lonely by Tara Brown
The Lonely
This was a pretty great read and I couldn’t put it down, but it was one of “those” that I had to contemplate for a day to figure out where I stood with it. An interesting and eerie love story exploring a whole new set of damaged pasts and broken futures. Had a bit of that Hopeless/Ten Tiny Breaths/Fifty Shades feel and throw in a little bit of Stockholm Syndrome for good measure! (I know right? Weird combo… but it did actually end up working well). So thanks to many of you for this recommendation! You’re right, it was right up my dark alley!
