so much fun!
Can’t believe what just happened. I’m still trying to process. It earned all the dark hearts and bloody stars. This was the end of volume two. And it sure went out with a bang. With each novella I read I think this is my favorite, there’s no way it could get any better than this. But this one tops them all! The characters dug their way into my soul. The story is dark and mysterious and the more you learn the more questions you have. Their dynamic and chemistry was fire. And as always Elec is MINE. I am so obsessed with him. I love each and every little peek we get into him.

Well one thing is for sure, Elec has a master plan up his sleeve and nobody is safe, including founding Masters. This one, once again, had an unexpected twist. And who knows what is in store with some of the slaves getting a little power. Dark, delicious, devious.

I’m going to have to keep this short and sweet as to not spoil the best parts of this crazy story. I completely understand and feel how a reader can be so incredibly put off by by Elec but he is a man with a plan and will take no interferences and will not tolerate people who can’t be trusted. I just respect it. This story was so good .. something is brewing and I must journey into the final volume of the gardens ..

If you loved Whitlock and you're reading every Garden of the Gods books as soon as they're released.... then one click and read this twisted book of perfection! If you haven't jumped into this incredible alternate reality; stop waiting and take the plunge into the Gardens! AA Dark's Master A-0005 is the connection between Elec and Bram that we've all been waiting for; the first concrete ties between the Whitlock bloodlines above and below the Gardens. This dark and twisted storyline could be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone, but for those who have followed each new release in the Garden of the Gods, this book is the closest glimpse we've had yet into our beloved Main Master and his incredible vision for the Gardens. No hesitation, scroll as fast as you can to KU (or whatever platform you read from) and download this delicious installment of twisted amazingness written with the perfection only our Queen, Alaska Angelini AA Dark,) can create.

Holy COW! What an exhilarating ending to this volume and series (so far).
This novella is a quick but interesting (and explosive) read that will keep you thinking for days after you've finished. We meet Jake and Kayla in this installment... and it gets CRAZY! I don't want to spoil anything, but seriously... Jake doesn't have a good time in this one... but when you find out why.... WHEEEEWWWWWWW what the hell!
If you haven't had the pleasure of reading any of these books, go do it. Start with 24690 and read through the intended order... you can thank me later. While I personally did not rate every single one 5*'s, almost all of them are perfection. Seriously.
I cannot wait for volume 3 - and yes, there WILL be more stories from the Garden of the Gods.
I was beyond excited when my favourite pitch black author was looking for ARC readers... I signed up IMMEDIATELY. Thank you Alaska, Dee, and Mad Girl Publishing for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Jake and Kayla
There is nothing this woman writes that isn’t perfection! Master A-0005 was phenomenal. I did NOT expect the outcome. It had me on such a rollercoaster ride of emotions. That’s what I get for always being so dang optimistic! If your interest is piqued at all, and u love erotic horror as I now realize I do, then go binge-read this entire series, part 1 and 2 are now complete!!

Gotta love to hate that Main Master
Wow I just LOVED this book! I love ALL of them but this one was one of my FAVORITES! What I love most about the Garden's is you never know what you are going to get! We may end up with an ending of a Master or a Mistress that is in love with their slave and still going strong, or we may have an ending where one of them is killed, or we may have an ending that is up in the air and we just don't even know if there will be a part two!!! Every single story is a memorable one. There is always one character in every story that stays true to himself and that is my man Elec. Sometimes I love him and sometimes I want to slap him because I hate his choices. But I always want to bang him. I LOVED him in this book. We got to see more emotion from him with Kayla and I loved seeing that. It only makes me even more hot for his book (if he gets one) I really loved Kayla and Jake and although I wish their outcome was different I was happy to see what they had while they were in the Gardens.

saved the best for last 😏
Well… where do I even begin?
As with all the others, this is a deliciously dark glimpse into the world of the Masters and Mistresses. While we’ve already seen the Master falling hopelessly for his slave bit before, this is so much more.
Loyalties are tested, lies exposed, and grand-schemes revealed.
At first, I totally expected this breeder to be the one from Elec’s dark God club—the one removing her own ♥️ why? Well, she’s been referenced in most of the books in this volume, and I NEED to know who a man like Elec calls a friend 🤪
Needless to say, this isn’t it—this is… everything, at least, I think so. Our Mistress Alaska cast her webs, and weave story so delicately it’s hard to know what just is, and what’s more.
This Novella predicts more to come. Not just in novellas, but as in Elec’s big schemes. Am I still hoping for his story some day? Heck yeah!!

Dark and twisted.
Knocking it right out of the park again, a story with so many twists and turns you don’t expect what’s building up. Delicious, tantalizing and absolutely addictive. You’ll fall in love with Kayla, as well as Jake and of course Alec’s manipulation in every single move and decision made.
Jake — a man with lineage, expected to have an heir is given a womanwhose lineage is even greater than he knew. Kayla is related to the Waltons as well as the Whitlocks — a hidden treasure in the eyes of Elec who was only found after a DNA test.
Kayla was set on a mission, a scheme Elec set up, in order to light a fire in Jake. Shut down after losing his entire family in a car accident that was fatal, he takes it out in the Gardens. Simply puppets in Elec’s games, I’m thrilled to see what is in store for Kayla later on. She truly belongs in the Gardens.

*disclosure: this is part of my full review of Garden of the Gods volume 2. This story was 1 of 5 featured in the book
Book 5. B0005: the master in this one is a board member...so very high up in the chain. He purchases a "breeder" which is typically the cheapest..but in this particular instance, the female is exceptionally important. He's contracted to produce an heir, as a member of the board and the main master has very specific plans in mind. This story was definitely complex. A lot of hidden agendas by all parties involved and a definite opening at the very end for another massive storyline involving the next generations of the Gardens. ⭐⭐⭐💫🌶️🌶️
"Play the role and feed me my fantasy. I'll give you a child. Be good to me and I'll give you as many as you want"

I actually love these short novellas and am excited to finish the rest of the garden books. This is a spin-off to Whitlock so you get the same vibe, just different and each book is of a different master or mistress or couple. This book was a master. This is probably my favorite gardens book so far, it was so different than the others and actually left me wanting to know more. I was definitely not expecting the story to go the way it did. I now need to know what happened to the FMC, did she get out? Did Elec keep his word? did she meet her family? does Bram come into the story? THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE TO THIS STORY!!!! This is something huge and a big player such as Elec, Bram and Everleigh. I NEED MORE!
May 14, 2023
Okay... this book has left with with... what the fuck did I just read? I mean that literally. What the hell just happened? What the hell is Elec planning? and OMG I can't wait to read it! I am dying of curiosity right now! I was so intrigued by this story. I couldn't put it down. I have to say that I hate how it ended. I wish it had ended differently. But it wouldn't have been a Garden of the Gods book if it had. This is horror after all not a romance.
I can't wait for the next volume of books to be released. After reading this part of the series I have high expectations for the next. It's gonna be so hard waiting for them to release. I have so many questions and not enough answers! 😆😆😆

There is nothing that A.A writes that isn’t 5 stars! I will stay up all night because I physically cannot put the book down once I have started.
One thing before reading check triggers!
I did NOT expect the outcome, I always need more with each book she writes them so well it’s like you really get to know the characters. A.A is dark and I always get my hopes up for HEA but leaves me wanting more, it would be amazing to hear the rest of her story she reminded me so much of Everleigh and would love if she got her HEA in the end.

OMG! I absolutely LOVED this one!! I think it is now my favorite of all the Garden books.
The story is dark, depraved, twisted and utterly titillating from start to finish.
This amazing author takes us on another mindfuck journey of epic proportions that had me addicted to the story and my eyes glued to the pages.
Loved it and can’t wait to see what happens at the Gardens next.

If you are looking for a HEA, do not read. If you want a twisted and dark read, then this is the book for you. Definitely a page turner.
In closing I would like nothing more then the main master to pay, and dearly. Hopefully that will come in another book, and soon!

Mistress 0
This one had me on the edge of my seat the entire time!!
I truly had no idea what was going to happen. I didn’t expect the ending and I wasn’t so much more on her story and how she plots her revenge.

Mistress 0 Better Have a Spin-off
I need more of this story. Like, what Bram does once she’s discovered? Life with the twins and of course, more about the Evil Elec…ugh, poor freakin Jake!

Another stellar novella for Garden of the Gods! Love getting to see more of the Main Master. The twist in this story is everything! Loved it!
March 23, 2023
Well, well, well, what do we have here but a slave more deceiving than her Master?? Is it possible in The Gardens? The genius of this book lies in the manipulation and deceit involving Elec and Kayla. Even though Elec and his plans make more of an appearance in this novella, we, the reader, know only a little more than before. Once a certain someone finds out about Kayla (IYKYK), poo is going to hit the fan, and I can't wait to see it unfold. This is a fantastic, dark, fast-paced book. A great addition to the Gardens.
I read an arc and willingly posted my honest review.

Jake an kayla…wow. This story was far darker than I expected and I enjoyed every minute of it! Elec is something else. He’s got something big going on in that mind of his. Can’t wait for the third round of auctions!
March 23, 2023
Every novella in this series gets better and better, but this one blew my mind so much that it NEEDED to be on my top reads list.
And it wasn't even the story itself (even though that was fantastic and a MUST read), but it was the massive bombshell that the author casually threw at us and walked away.
If you're a long time reader like myself you'll know when it hits you.
As usual but now even more so, I can't wait to see what the author comes up with next.

Talk about a mind f**k! A.A Dark has done it again!!
Jake is a man that has turned to the dark side after his family died. He has a promise that needs to fulfill. A promise he made to his dad. He needs an heir. Kayla fc0001, was handed picked by Elec to be with Jake.
Jake and Kayla find "love" in their twisted relationship. Elec has his own plans. Lies, betrayal and hurt are just a few emotions that are portrayed. The twists and turns will keep you invested!
