Happy New Year you amazing
Bibliophiles!
With the new year brings us a
clean slate, well not, really right? With our ever growing TBR piles and the
newest authors coming on the scene it will never be a clean slate not really.
Let’s begin shall we, because
as you all may know I was once on a blog with another blogger and we had
created between the sheets. Well that blogger abandoned me unfortunately; so, Zephyr’s
Bookshelf is born.
I want to start off with my
first read book of the new year. This one is a re-read for me, one of my
favorite authors to date.
The amazing Miss Natalie
Bennett.
Genre: Twisted Romance/ Dark
Romance
How do I begin with this book
without coming off as a fangirl? I am not sure I can, those of you who love the
dark side of Romance, the ones who love the male with loose morals and the
women who become obsessed will love this author. Natalie Bennett has a certain
style of writing; it continues to impress me on how she immerses you into her
world and you come out the other side with a question in your mind.
What question is that you may
ask me? Well for me it’s I can’t believe that someone this amazing exists. So,
the question always is are there others? The answer to that is yes. But that is
for another time. Let’s get back to the book, shall we?
This particular book is a Ménage,
That’s one female with two males. Our MC’s for this book are, Declan, Ethan,
and Helena. Helena grew up in a real messed up situation, one that contained
abuse. Her mother knew there was something evil in her. Whether Helena was born
this way or was she created we will never know. All we know is that she likes
to ‘fix’ things.
Declan is one of the Delia
son’s a particularly twisted family with a messed-up job. They own the chateau
where they have Red Rooms. If you don’t know what this is, I would say google
it but I wouldn’t put you through that. Really what it is, is snuff films. Now
if you don’t know what that is? I don’t want to break you. Just know it’s not
something you would probably take pleasure in.
Now our story begins with
Declan and his lover Ethan, they come back to the chateau for the grand
reopening. They have always loved each other, but they knew something was
missing. They wanted a third in their little fucked up relationship. Someone
who would support their lifestyle. Enter Helena, her life had made her a blank
slate. Someone to be molded and perfect for the duo. We find out some of their
back story, how they bring their women into the fold.
I am going to be completely
honest here. I loved this book, it’s the third in the series but it’s a standalone.
You can read this one without reading the other two. It’s a great addition to
your bookshelf if you like the dark, twisted, loose moral kind of romance.
