Garden of the Gods: Vol 2. #6-10
This is Vol. 2 of the Garden of the Gods series, books 6-10. These books are DARK and despite having romantic elements are considered HORROR.
With the death of Whitlock, a new home for horror is born…
Garden of the Gods Book 1:
Main Master
Lilian Lowe had it a promising career as an up-and-coming rock star, a rock God for a boyfriend. She had been destined to follow in Master A-0077’s footsteps…until she declined the deal with the Devil of Hollywood. Now, as an elite outcast, everyone’s turned their backs on her.
Everyone but Me.
I have big plans for Mistress 0042. I’ll make her prove her worth. She’ll have to face demons she’s spent her life running from. There’s only one person she trusts to help her through it, but even he’ll put her to the test.
With a lifetime of darkness, will Lilian be able to find the lights and stage I can provide, or will she turn out to be her own enemy ?
Fame has a price. What happens when you refuse to pay it? -Elec

Book 2:
Main Master
The Summerland twins were raised on the set of movies. With a famous actress and Hollywood inventor for parents, they grew up in the limelight. Their life had been what dreams were made of…once.
Death. Jealousy. Betrayal.
Lies and manipulation weave a dangerous web as the twins find their place in the Gardens…and with themselves. But the past isn’t easy to forget, and some secrets are better left with the dead.
Sibling love goes hand-in-hand with sibling rivalry. What happens when both are put to the test? -Elec

Book 3:
Main Master
Judge Jenson Colburn never expected to be accepted into the Gardens. Due to his close ties and loyalty, I brought him in, knowing if anyone deserved to lose themselves in their darkness, it was him. But morality and sins don’t always see eye to eye, especially when there’s no one you can trust.
Good. Bad. Evil.
Nothing is what it seems. As Jenson battles want versus desire, can he reach an agreeableness between what he needs and who he really is, or will someone else step in to do it for him?
Demons don’t always know how to play once they’re set free. I’m more than ready to help him out. -Elec

Book 4:
Main Master
Pastor Anthony Addaway is an inspiration around the world. He’s handsome, charismatic. He's the savior for those looking for a second chance. People flock to him for repentance, for hope…and Anthony’s church is all too happy to help them out.
Drugs. Death. Life.
The Master is determined to find answers to the unexplained. What Anthony doesn’t realize is the things we can’t explain is usually the same things we try to hide.
In a place where the truth is dark, I’ll be the one to help him see the light. -Elec

Jake Princeton had the perfect life. He was a husband. A father. As one of the oldest families in our circle, he had it made. That all disappeared when he lost his family in a tragic accident. Per our duties as elites, he needs an heir, and I just happen to have the perfect slave.
One breeder. Two shocking bloodlines.
All is at stake, and Jake’s resistance to move on poses a problem. Little does he know, Kayla is exactly what he needs. I know… I trained her . But what’s good for me, may not be good for Jake, and he’ll put us all to the test.
When power, love, and possession face off, which one wins? -Elec

I've actually thoroughly enjoyed both volumes 1 and 2 in this series. Dare I say, I may like these collected stories even more so than the main 24690 storyline?
I love the glimpses we get of different people, both masters and slaves, that are part of this complex secret society. The levels of depravity vary and cover a broad spectrum of personalities and important players. Each "book" has alternating chapters of the master/mistress POV and the slave's POV.
Book 1: B0042 tells the tale of a mistress who has been in the Gardens for some time. She's a former model turned rockstar and we bare witness to her insecurities as well as her darker predilections.
"No one was safe with me. Rage and blood had been all I'd ever known. It was the answer..and my curse"
The other main focus of the story is on one of her slaves...a male blank slate, which as previous stories have alluded to...do not always function as intended.
I tend to really enjoy this dynamic the most apparently. I believe, if I remember correctly, that I rated a similar storyline in volume 1 high as well. (Mistress x blank slate) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🌶️🌶️🌶️
Book 2. Couple B0019: This was a total mindfuck. Here, we had two twin mistresses. There were moments I questioned what was actually going on due to their dynamic. There was definitely a twist to the storyline and I loved how I was kept in suspense and guessing. These girls liked to play games...with their male slaves and, apparently, each other. ⭐⭐⭐⭐🌶️🌶️
"We're going to fuck, covered in your blood. Show me your life is mine without me having to take it. Give this to me and you'll live. It's that simple"
Book 3. B0491: is a prestigious judge in the outside world. I can, without a doubt, say that I loathed this master above all else. His level of sick and twisted was almost bottomless. I appreciated this particular storyline because it showed a side of the Gardens that gave us full transparency. It doesn't sugarcoat what the Gardens are all about. On some level, we are already aware of how bad it can truly be in this environment and this story just gives voice to that.
The slave involved is what is classified as female W...or virgin/pure. Once again, I like how each storyline visits the different classifications and different scenarios that are possible. ⭐⭐⭐⭐🌶️🌶️
"The way the intensity held me captive, I wasn't sure whether to be mesmerized or on alert. There was something...off. I couldn't put my finger on it and wasn't even sure the feeling had merit other than intuition"
"The monster inside of me was my true other half. He ruled me. Made me stronger. And thanks to the Gardens, he was here to stay"
Book 4. B0113: Here, the master is a pastor. He and his church are main recruiters for the Gardens... kidnapping the down and destitute and transporting them to the Gardens to be sold. The slave in this story is a female B. Non virgin. She was actually brought there by his church. Her complex history includes drug addiction and prostitution but is slowly revealed to be layered with so much more backstory...making it truly suspenseful.
I really really liked this one because it was the first instance that paranormal elements were laced into the plot. It ended up going in a different direction than any of the others and I was definitely fascinated by that. ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫🌶️🌶️🌶️
"I got lured into my secret fantasies. I began to explore all sides of faith until...no sides at all"
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"

This set of novellas are so much darker than the ones in volume one and they’re just as addicting and delicious with writing that truly flows. Some of these absolutely shocked me.
Again. Elec? Love him. Love seeing the inner workings and his twisty manipulations in each story. The final novella in this second volume has got to be the one that stood out to me the most. However — if you live in the Toledo area, the one following the Pastor mentions our lovely city!

Good short stories
I liked reading all the short stories, some I wish were longer than others. Loved the dark twists and turns in these too.

Love it!
Really enjoy all of the mini series. Interesting how they all tie into the main master. Would really like to see more of Elec’s story and where this is all leading up to.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 / 5
Another amazing collection of short stories pertaining to the A.A. Dark universe/series! I’m seriously so obsessed with these stories and I don’t want them to end… 🥹
** The one note I want to add to make sure readers get the best experience out of the series’ and the A.A. Dark universe as a whole, is to read both Volume I and Volume II of the GOTG collection before reading the A.A. Dark version of ‘Seeking Stalker’! It’ll all make more sense when you get to the end of that book…. I say this as someone who accidentally read that book before reading GOTG Volume II... 🤦🏻♀️😂**
