Review: the Masks and the Dancer

 

Title: the Masks and the Dancer

Series: Their Obsessions Duet

Author: Bea Paige

Release Date: January 31

The Masks
We kidnapped her.
She was our revenge.
She fought against our darkest desires.
She shone a light on our pitch black souls.
She became our mirror.
She made us see.
And what do monsters do when they stare at their reflection?
They break the fu*king glass.

The Dancer
They kidnapped me.
I was their vengeance.
They used and abused me, they degraded and humiliated me.
But I fought back.
I held up the mirror. I made them see.
Only for them to shatter it into a million pieces.
And what does a girl like me do to the men who break her?
She cuts the b*stards and makes them feel.


WARNING: This is an 18+ dark, contemporary, captive/kidnap reverse harem romance and contains graphic sex scenes, non-con and dub-con, violence, and other subject matter that some may find triggering. This story will have a HEA, but of course it will be hard won.

So I have been waiting to head to Ardelby Castle and these characters since I read the Dancer & the Masks. 

She was stolen in the night. Taken to the castle of nightmares. Or torment, and torture. She was used, abused, degraded and humiliated. But now she is fighting back. She became their mirror, reflecting back their monsters from within. 

If you like your romances dark, and with multiple men, then this duet is the one for you. 

I've been in a major book slump but I loved diving back into the dark and twisted Ardelby Castle with Christy, Jakub, Leon & Konrad. I relish in the darkness & couldn't get enough of this book and these characters. 4⭐ out of 5⭐. 

Review: the Dancer and the Masks

 

Title: the Dancer and the Masks

Series: Their Obsession duet

Author: Bea Paige 

Release Date: August 30, 2021

They came for me in the dead of night. Silent like ghosts. Three faceless men with one thing on their mind, revenge.

The Dancer

I was stolen.

Ripped from the people I love, and imprisoned in a medieval castle in Scotland with walls as thick and impenetrable as the stone encasing my kidnappers' hearts.

Do as they say and you’ll survive this place.

Refuse their orders and feel the consequences of their wrath.

Everyone here calls them The Masks.

I call them my enemy.

I may seem fragile, weak, but I’m not like all the rest.

I’m not just a dancer, or a singer, or a musician that they can loan out as entertainment to sick men and women.

I’m a fighter. I come from a long line of them.

This time they stole the wrong girl, and these walls…?

They’ll come crashing down even if I have to rip them apart myself, brick by bloody brick.

The Masks

We took her.

A payment for a debt. A very personal one.

With our father “The Collector” dead, we are the heirs to a twisted dynasty with nothing but revenge in our hearts, blood on our hands, and darkness in our souls.

Our home bears witness to our cruelty.

The prisoners within it, scarred by our wrath.

We’re the soulless creatures as twisted as any monster real or imagined.

We steal, thieving not just the artist themselves, but the light that makes them shine bright.

We must keep up our father’s legacy.

We must have revenge.

The Dancer we stole is ours to play with. Ours to use.

She won’t survive this place.

We’ll make sure of it.

WARNING: This is a dark, contemporary, reverse harem romance for adult readers, and contains graphic sex scenes and violence. It is not for the feint of heart.

First, WARNING, this book is dark & may have content that could trigger the readers. 

Christy was stolen in the middle of the night, taken away from a home and family she loved. She was assigned a number, and has been degraded and at the whims and mercy of her kidnapers, her captors. The Masks. Faceless, cruel, monsters. Soulless twisted creatures who are trying to extract revenge, and uphold their father's legacy. Christy, is their new toy, plaything, possession. She's reduced to nothing, naught, zero. And she won't survive the Scotland castle, but she isn't giving up. She will fight until her last breath, until she can't any more. The Masks may try to take everything from her, but that is one thing they can't take, is her fight, her will to survive. 

I enjoyed the story. Enjoyed seeing Christy, her fight to survive, her strength and determination and stubbornness. 

I loved seeing Jakub, Leon, and Konrad. I love the dark and twisted men, and these guys fit that. But there is more to them then what meetd the eye. And I cannot wait to see what happens next, and watch the story unfold between the characters. If you like dark, twisted, tales with monsters for men, and a woman who challenges them every step of the way, then this is the book for you. 4⭐ out of 5⭐.
