Burning Depravity
Dory
She was supposed to be mine. She was made for me, and I’d planned to breed her that night at long last. Six months of watching her, and following her… six months of planning and anticipation, and thanks to him, I had to leave without having her.
Now my biggest problem is how to get the girl without him taking what he wants too.
Gray
Fire makes the world go round, or some shit like that. It definitely brought me what I’d always wanted. A sweet, repressed man for me to own and find pleasure in, whether he wants that or not. If only his obsession with her hadn’t put her right in my way.
Wilma
He was planning to ‘impregnate me’. I’d never met him before, but apparently he knew more about me than anyone should. Now I’m trapped with both of them, and my only chance of surviving this is to play them off against each other, and try to break them before they break me.
Dory wants Wilma, Gray wants Dory, and Wilma just wants them to leave her alone. Can any of them get what they want? And if any of them do, who’ll come out on top?
Or will they just keep breaking each other until the damage can never be undone?

If you love things dark and twisted then this book is what you need.
I’m constantly amazed by Mia’s writing and the way she makes me feel about her characters. I get attached to them all and never want to leave their world and this book was no exception.
What can I say about Gray.. I love that crazy man. His banter with Dory is amazing and hilarious at times, he knows what he wants and he’s determined to get it.
Dory, sweet conflicted Dory, he thought he knew what he wanted but then his plans get derailed in a spectacular way and things will never be the same.
Wilma isn’t a weak FMC and doesn’t just resign herself to her fate when she’s taken. She fights. But ultimately that makes her even more perfect for these two.
A superb dark romance full of heat - and I mean ridiculously hot - that will have you hooked from the beginning.

Hold onto your hats people because this is one of the spectacular dark rollercoasters EVER‼️‼️‼️
In my opinion this book wouldn’t work as well as it did without all 3 characters. Whilst they are all depraved in some way, they are also perfect for each other.
Although I loved each character, Gray was, without a doubt, my favourite. He is so twisted and perverse, his logic so skewered it’s beyond comprehension. But, he’s also, and I know to some this will sound wierd, someone who just wants to belong. He wants to feel safe and cared for - isn’t that what we all strive for?
His stoic sarcasm and and perpetual meanness seemed, to me, like a cover to mask his insecurities. A wall he built to protect himself - something I am
More than familiar with.
The banter between Gray and Dornan is hilarious and a perfect companion to the depravity. It some parts it’s almost like watching a dark comedy, which, I think added an extra zing to something that was already a masterpiece.
Dornan, or adorable Dory is just that. He’s equally twisted but you can’t help but love his character. He wants to be loved. He wants what we all want, love, companionship, a sense of belonging. I don’t necessarily agree with how he went about it but who am I to judge lol
Watching him draw parallels during his journey in the book brings worth a lot of emotions. I wanted to be cross with him and smack him upside the head and say ‘duh!!’ And then I wanted to hug him because he was sweet and kind.
Wilma bless. What a character!! She’s not the shrinking violet she is at first assumed to be. She has a backbone and a sense of self preservation but she also has a twisted side, she also craves the sense of acceptance and belonging for who she is. She craves a family. And this is exactly what they become. A beautifully twisted, depraved family.
Mia Fury has a mind I would give my left arm to live in. Her imagination is off the charts dark, but don’t mistake that for anything less than the perfection that it is. The twists and turns, the sexual content, the lack of empathy and emotional turmoil all combine to give us one of the best dark and twisted romances I have ever read.
Is it depraved? Yes
Is it twisted? Yes
Does it have numerous triggers? Yes
But, my god, is it worth reading? Heck YES!!!!
Mia Fury has a talent that knows no bounds. Gray, Dory and Wilma are just perfectly imperfect. Their story could not have been written any better than it has been, it’s addictive, compelling, twisted and the depth creates so many emotions from you. What it is, is the best dark rollercoaster I’ve ever been on. Get ready for lots of angst, pain, fear, self esteem issues and enough steam and heat to combust you and the book!!!
I can’t recommend this book or this author highly enough.
Not enough stars in the entire universe to fully portray how good this book is!!!

Twisted. Dark. Depraved.
Everything I absolutely love in a fucked up romance. This trio is EVERYTHING! Starting with Gray. He is, in my opinion, the most depraved of the three. He has the most mental issues BUT his twisted ways had me falling in love with his character. Dory pissed me off the majority of the book. Like grow some balls my dude!!! But in the end, I respected him. He reminds me of me ALOT! He is finally accepting of who he really is and thriving. And Wilma. Wilma is just as messed up as the boys. She didn’t want to accept that she was actually in to them and the whole situation, but once she did, this throuple thrived!
I probably need therapy for absolutely loving how dark and twisted this romance is, but that’s why smutty books are for!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
The spice was amazing! Never thought I would be so worked up over these type of spicy scenes.

Comically deranged.
There was a lot of dark inappropriate humor. Unfortunately, it got old fast, and Wilma ruined the book. She was just an annoying character, I found her rather conniving, too. And not in a save myself way but more of just being vindictive.
Dornan The Stalker was hysterically demented. Even though he was a psycho rapist, he was also oddly sweet.
I died with this line:
pg 15, The Stalker - "Good girls, the best girls, they give it up on the first date. It doesn't make you a whore, but it will make you mine. Forever."
Gray The Arsonist was such a wack-job

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Burning Depravity OMFG this book is absolutely insane and I loved it!! In fact I'm pretty sure this is going in my list of all time favorites!!! Dory and Gray are certifiable 🤣 But I loved them and Wilma. This book is DARK. Really it's black. Black like my soul🤣😈 I couldn't get enough. At times I was laughing so hard I was crying and at others I was about ready to spontaneously combust!! This is a MUST READ!!! Y'all better stop sleeping on Mia Fury and go buy all her books because y'all are missing out!!!

What can I say what a book Mia fury is definitely a brilliant writer. I have never read this type of book before and was a bit apprehensive.
I loved every single word of it.
All 3 characters are so different
Gray so ruthless and naughty but so funny.
Dornan a person I think who just wanted to be loved same with Wilma.
I can not recomend this book enough well worth reading.
I cannot wait for more from this author

This book was dark but that is my kind of book. I hope Mia comes out with another one to continue the story. I loved all of the characters. But I would love to know more of there backstory and see where their lives takes them. So good!!! I loved Mia’s writing style. I will definitely read her other books.

Twisted tale
Omg this book had me feeling a range of different emotions! One minute I was feeling sorry for Dory and really disliked Gray. This story has trigger warnings!
I have read all of Mia's books to date and I cannot wait for the next one... If you like dark, twisted, erotic scenes then you must read her books. Not suitable for prissy girls or snowflakes!

This might have been severely too far for me and yet I read the entire thing😂
Firstly READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS, because this book is basically 80% non con and the rest is just Stockholm Syndrome/ depraved (hence the name) individuals. Gray stressed me out the most, completely unhinged but I guess they all were in their own way.

Please please please another one
You absolutely have to write another book like this one. It was perfection. Everything I long for in a book. Has to be MM or MMF. I love it more when one of the M’s is forced but loves it in the end. Love it.

I was really excited to start this book, I love DR and this is darker then dark. The Dynamic between Dory, Gray and Wilma was very intense, but also funy and so loving at the end. I think I will re-read this book again and again. Mia Fury did it again and created another awesome book.

Completely depraved.
This book is beyond disturbing and twisted. Yet it's filled with humor along with the violence and coercion. Three unlikely people who find their unique happily ever after together. Please read trigger warnings!

Dark but captivating
WTF did I just read. Is it dark? Yes. Would I read it again? Probably not. Am I already downloading the sequel? Hell Yes I just have to see what happens next.

I've been a fan of Mia's work, and it just keeps getting better. Dark, twisted, and oh so delicious this newest book has reached the top. Dory and Gray and Wilma were meant to be. The way the relationships twist and grow and bloom is amazing.
I do recommend paying special attention to the trigger warning. This book is not for every reader.
10/10 would read again.

More Gray!
This book took me on one heck of an amazing ride! Gray, is mind-blowing, over the top. I had some very sexy lip biting moments.

I was hooked from the first page and was immediately thrown down a dark and d€praved rabbit hole that I didn't want to leave! 😈 The story quickly takes a turn in a very unexpected way and I loved every second of it.
When Dory (the sta|ker) crosses paths with Gray (an ar$0nist) while sta|king Wilma, none of their lives will ever be the same. While Dory is 0bsessed with Wilma, going so far as to *t0uch* her while she sleeps as well as una|iving her dates, Gray is 0bsessed with fire and the er0t!c way the flames dance.
These two team up to take Wilma, Dory with the intention to finally claim "his woman"...and Gray with the intention of claiming...something else. 😈
And here's where things get really d€praved. Nothing in this world is free...it's a system of give and take (and this book has a lot of *take*). Gray helped give Dory his "blonde goddess"..and now it's time for Dory to return the favor...with something he's not so willing to give. And although Wilma may be a v!ctim in this, she is far from a helpless v!ctim, using everything she can in an attempt to gain her freedom...even if it's her captors themselves.
It's dark and twisted roller coaster ride to their HEA but one that I didn't want to get off.
*Definitely heed the trigger warnings

MMF isn't my normal read, but I decided to give it a whirl because the premise of this book was fascinating. A stalker who becomes stalked. A £ap!st who gets £aped. Each piece of the triangle was damaged but fit. Things that intrigued me:
😈 Dory was a really fascinating character. I yearned for more of his perspective because I really got it with him. He had been rejected. He didn't think anyone would ever pick him, but he craved a family, and he craved her. I didn't like how the readers got a glimpse of this, but it wasn't really properly discussed with homegirl. He's spilling out how much he loves her, but she really doesn't click with that aspect of his being, and that actually made me sad for Dory.
😈It was made clear that Dory would be with her, and Gray would be with Dory, despite how much Dory hated it. Dory would be the one making a baby with her. That kept me on the hook. For me to be interested in these dynamics, I prefer this setup.
😈 Gray was a wildcard. He really was deceptive and manipulative, but what I enjoyed most was how I saw Dory's levels because Gray was an abusive jerk
😈 the k!nks were really k!nk¥. D€gradat|on, voy€urism, c0erc€d sex, br€€ding was all exquisite it was really explicit, dirty, filthy, and just all around well done.
👎🏾 For me, what lagged was that the same arguments were a little repetitive. Deep character movement would happen in their heads but not aloud. Then, it basically becomes your standard MMF. Now it's all us making a baby.
👎🏾Honesly, the FMC didn't feel like a real facyor. She was a non-factor. By the end, the story is truly an MM bi-awakening tale, and the FMC was more like an object to bring that out. Dory didn't truly get the girl. There wasn't a point where it felt like she fell in love with him jitlst begrudging like. Instead, he felt like FWB for her by the end.
👎🏾 The normal MMF all of us, etc, and that's where the story lost me. I wished the story had stayed more daring. Decided to be equal partners fine, but seeing Dory be the father and want that aspect for himself was a refreshing change. Having a deep character motivation change drastically in the end killed the vibe for me. That's a personal me thing. That's where I don't enjoy MMF, but I know others do.
This book made me a fan of the author and will definitely buy more work.

I'm a fan of dark romance. This was a considerably darker read for me than what I've read. I liked it, but I did have some issues with it 🤏🏻
I loved the plot of basically the stalker being stalked and r@pist being r@ped. I also loved the character growth...for two of the characters.
I really felt like this ended up rushing and I was so sad about it. Toward the end, I didn't feel like the fmc had a place between them because the story seemed to be so heavily focused on the 2 mmc's relationship. I would have liked to see a relationship build between the other mmc and fmc, besides the one that was obsessed with her.
Gray- obsessed with Dornan (Dory)
Dornan (Dory)- obsessed, stalked and r@ped Wilma
Wilma- hates both of them and is kidnapped and r@ped but then ends up loving them.
We end up learning that Wilma is a bit depraved BUT I felt like her outbursts were not explained and did not constitute as true outbursts or psychopathic tendencies. We were sort of led to *agree* with the assumption but in all honesty, there wasn't enough for me to connect the dots with her past, her behavior, and then her current predicament.
I was really disappointed in the lack of relationship building between Gray and Wilma especially when he said he hoped he could grow to love her. I read the extended epilogue and he didn't say it there either. And it had been a total of a year and a half. It just came to a feeling of her being disposable and it kind of bothered me since they had the baby then. 🤷🏻♀️
If you go into this with the mindset of expecting dark smut, you'll not be disappointed. I went in think there would be a lot more to the plot after reading several chapters and then it took a plot nosedive. I liked it still and Gray's mouth is 🥵.

We were sort of led to *agree* with the assumption but in all honesty, there wasn't enough for me to connect the dots with her past, her behavior, and then her current predicament.
I was really disappointed in the lack of relationship building between Gray and Wilma especially when he said he hoped he could grow to love her. I read the extended epilogue and he didn't say it there either. And it had been a total of a year and a half. It just came to a feeling of her being disposable and it kind of bothered me since they had the baby then. 🤷🏻♀️
If you go into this with the mindset of expecting dark smut, you'll not be disappointed. I went in think there would be a lot more to the plot after reading several chapters and then it took a plot nosedive. I liked it still and Gray's mouth is 🥵.

I always love when I go into a book not knowing too much about what to expect - but somehow I think even if someone told me exactly what happens in this book, it still would have blown me away. So many times the characters surprised me or caught me off guard in awesome ways.
I have to admit I adored Grey. He is certifiable and his mood can shift with the flip of a switch, but I wouldn’t have him any other way. There’s more to him than meets the eye and his character was so well written.
Dory (sorry Dory, the name stuck 😆) is our stàlker and he goes through so much development in this book! He is complex and when he starts to see things in a different light it really made a huge impact.
Wilma also surprised me! When I started to wonder if anyone would be able to stand up to these two men… Wilma rose to the challenge 😈

This book revolves around the lives of Dory, Wilma, and Gray. Each character is wonderfully flawed in their own way. Gray and Dory have conflicting desires, while Wilma simply wishes for solitude, which proves to be elusive. Gray aspires to be like Dory, often bending to her wishes, and he dreams of building a life with Wilma, including starting a family. However, he steps back from Wilma because Dory is interested in him, despite his attraction to Wilma. Ultimately, both Gray and Dory find a way to share their connection with Wilma, and they embark on their journey together. Despite the complex dynamics, they all find contentment in their unique arrangement by the end. Unfortunately, all of Wilma's dates mysteriously meet their demise, as Dory eliminates them to keep Wilma for himself. Unbeknownst to Wilma, she believes she is the issue. If you're considering reading this, be sure to check out TWS. I truly hope there will be a sequel, as Mia Fury is undoubtedly a talented writer.

Nice quick read overall
Generally speaking it was a decent read.
The story was honestly pretty weird. Without spoilers, I’ll just say that I struggled with the details of the story. It’s all very random, like bad porn plot random.
I also really didn’t care for the characters constantly psychoanalyzing themselves and why they liked what was happening. The situation was clearly depraved but after every spicy encounter there’s several pages of internal dialogue where the character has an existential crisis for enjoying the depravity. And then it’s right back into the spice scene, rinse, repeat. It became pretty irritating by the end and honestly I sped read past it all at that point.
The spice scenes were pretty good though, which is why I scored it as high as I did. It had some really great moments. But overall it really fell flat for my personal tastes.

The title of this book should have been Dumb and Dumber Plus One. This was the by far the worse book I have ever read. I'm trying to get into dark romance. This was such a letdown. Sure, these three were weirdos. However, because the characters were so flat and underdeveloped, I didn't care what happened to them. The scenes that warranted the trigger warnings really had no shock value at all.
I'm not sure why so many people rated this so highly. A book is a good read when it stays with you after you've read it. You think about the characters for days after. I will never think of these three again.

trigger warning
This whole book is a walking red flag. But I’m colorblind so. Definitely not a book for you if you have trauma and haven’t worked through it to be able to read it. Non consensual activity is not okay and if you are a victim I am sorry. I am myself but I’ve worked through my past and was able to move on. Not everyone can and that is okay. But please know before reading this book that it is not just one non consensual scene. It’s the whole book until the very end.

An okay dark read
This was a dark twisted read. Slightly disturbing but I like that. It started off a bit creepy, but exciting. Our main characters Wilma and Dornan and with a little twist they are joined by Gray. I enjoyed the first half of this book but felt it went a bit flat. The sexy scenes were good. The characters were okay although I think the only one I actually liked and felt for was Dornan, and that shows a little about my character. But it was an okay dark read.

This book is dark and twisted in so many good ways. Stalker vibes? check. Pregnancy trope? check. MMF? check. Enemies to lovers? check. Wilma, Dory, and Grey set up an entire series in this one book but it seriously stands alone in it's wild, crazy ride. Watching how things come apart around both Wilma, and Dory, is shocking, yet exciting. The trigger warnings on this one are a MILE long but that's just a challenge for most of us, right? If you like your romance trigger heavy and dark, dig into this one.
