Faithless: M&M of Restraint, #9

As a child, I was Faith. As a youth, I was Faithless. Before I reached adulthood, I was pure Syn. When I was a girl of fifteen, my daddy was incarcerated, my momma was worthless, and my sister was clueless. I did everything I could to survive, to keep my loved ones alive. I began playing the game, living the game, and hungering to change and rule the game.
I’ve lived a hard life- a life that has even harder decisions and the hardest of consequences. My life has given me the clarity to see what I am and accept it.

Experience Faith Simpson’s life as she goes from being an innocent, impressionable girl to Restraint’s hardhearted petite sadist. The 335,000 word epic journey spans nearly 17 years and the entirety of the Mistress and Master of Restraint Series. Your thirst for answers is quenched, leaving you satisfied but eager for more.

About the author

Erica Chilson

42 books437 followers
Erica Chilson does not write in the 3rd person, wanting her readers to be her characters. Therefore, writing a bio about herself, is uncomfortable in the extreme.

Born, raised, and here to stay, the Wicked Writer is a stump-jumper, a ridge-runner. Hailing from North Central Pennsylvania, directly on the New York State border; she loves the changes in seasons, the humid air, all the mountainous forest, and the gloomy atmosphere.

Introverted, but not socially awkward, Erica prides herself on thinking first and filtering her speech. There are days she doesn’t speak at all. If it wasn’t for the fact that she lives with her parents, giving her a sense of reality, she would be a hermit, where the delivery man finds her months after expiration.

Reading was an escape, a way to leave a not-so pleasant reality behind. Reading lent Erica the courage she gathered from the characters between the pages to long for a different life. Writing was an instrument of change, evolving Erica into the woman she is today- a better, more mature, more at peace thinker.

Erica has a wicked mind, one she pours out into her creations. Her filter doesn’t allow all of it to erupt, much to her relief. Sarcastic, with a very dark, perverse sense of humor, Erica puts a bit of herself into every character she writes.

FOR ALL U M&M FANS. THIS IS THE BOOK YOU WANT TO READ. !!!!

Just when you think you know all the players. see all the plays.. WHAM Erica throws you off the trail. Back to square one you go!

Having read all of the books and strategizing with my cohorts we thought for sure we knew the game and who was playing.. little did we know we were off... well somewhat....

The series has been in the characters point of view thru out the books. In this book you get Syn's. Holy hanna... its a doozie...
When i first started this series i thought to myself OH WOW.. hot sex, cute men, lovely Queens and lots of BDSM.. but as you read each book its a Kat & Mouse game that your watching.

I thought oh I want to get to QUEEN or OMG i need to get to KING.... Wenches you want to get to FAITHLESS cause in the end you be stumped as i am ....

I promise you this is not your normal KINK books.. THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER.. WITH A DAMMM GOOD STORY AND DAMM GOOD PLOT... IF YORU LOOKING FOR THE HEA BOOKS MOVE ALONG IF YOU WANT JAW DROPPING RESTRAINTS LOOK NO FURTHER!!

WOW....EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING about this book is... (what's the best word you can put in here?)....oh yeah, EXTRAORDINARY! Mistress and Master of Restraint fans have NO IDEA what they're in for with Faithless. Get ready to be BLOWN AWAY is all I can really say. Easily the best series out there in my opinion. Gripping plot and captivating characters had me hooked from cover to end. Never a dull moment and this was a beast of a book! To say the intensity of Faithless was off the charts would be huge understatement. Through it all one emotion was consistent...SHOCK. Erica Chilson you've certainly earned your title as Wicked Writer.

Are you ready for some secrets and a game that will rock your world?!

Author Ercia Chilson has outdone her self again, I know how is that even possible! She brings us Faithless the story of Faith.

In Faithless, Faith is struggling to find her self and where she belongs. With having to take care of the ones around her, she loses a part of her self along the way.

With a game that can end your life, our loved ones; Faith has to take control to protect the ones around her.

Can Faith learn to forgive herself, learn to live and love?

Where do I even start….This book blew me away and knocked it out of the ballpark. I have officially named Erica Chilson the ‘Plot Queen’. She has literally woven a spider web of deceit, lies, love and control in Faithless. We learn so much about the people we meet in the Mistress and Master's series. We get to see it from Faith’s POV and learned how everything started. You will find yourself laughing out loud and maybe shedding a few tears every now and again. The game, oh the game is everything you thought it would be and probably even more. Where does she come up with this stuff? I would love to spend a day in Erica’s mind.

Are you ready for the games to begin?!

How do I even start this? WOW and inserts mental breakdown→ HgfdkojG6:$#$&*; 99%\¥¥`¤!

We finally get Faith/Syn's story and what a effing story it is!

Most of my questions were answered but now I have more questions?!?!

I am completely shocked at this point, just when you think you got it all figured out, BOOM, BAM, and SLAM, I am floored!

I cant say anything more, I might be back after my mental breakdown with a better review.

Ok, now that I am better!!!

This is Syn's story or you can call her Faith. Out of all of the books, this story is the most truthful and eye opening! I will definitely reread the entire series to see the clues that I missed. These books do not compare to anything I have EVER read.

Faith is one hard core chick, I love her! Shes like the Mob boss or some shit! Haha, don't mess with her!!!

Wowza, we get some kick ass Sexting in this story, I found a new kink! ;) Had to add that, lol!

Anyway its a must read!

I might come back and add more!

Erica Chilson→ *bows* *clapping* *whistles* You rock!

I can't even put into words the mindfuck I just experienced. Wow. Seriously, damn! Ezra ia batshit crazy, Syn whoa who saw all that coming, Wil is my new book boyfriend, and Katya needs a good bitch slap. This series just gets better, and better with each book. I'll admit the 1st book hooked me bc the kink, but everything following is so twisted the story really takes over..and yeah it's still HOT! I feel better now that I know what happened to Grant, but do I REALLY know?! I'm sure everything I think I know will be taken away from me in the following book.. Wow, amazing job on this book Erica!!

**Update***
The revisions to this series have seriously brought it up to full potential. The character dynamics are so complex and intriguing it's almost mind blowing. I really love how much the changes have allowed Faith to become a more well-rounded and complex character as compared to a more narrow view in previous versions.

Welcome to the devious, cunning, ruthless, and brilliant mind of author Erica Chilson as she uses Faithless to reveal and unleash "The Game" on her readers. Fans of the Mistress and Master of Restraint should be ready for an even more mind blowing experience. The captivating characters and gripping, intense plot return. The truth finally unfolds throughout the life of Faith Simpson as she tries to survive and find herself in the wild and ruthless life she was born into. Be prepared for the secrets, the shock, the pleasure, and the devastation as it unfolds before your eyes. You may think you understand, but you're wrong! Erica Chilson is Wickedly brilliant!

Faithless
Reviewed by Jedi Christy

Faithless was a rollercoaster of a book. It is also to date Erica's best work. In this book she shows her master story telling ability. Faithless is a true work of art, drawling you in and giving you a whole new look at the game players. It is at times a frighting honest look at things that we normally like to put in a corner and never talk about. I give Erica big PROPS for being truthful to who the characters are and still show a real view of how society would react to them. I want to meet these characters in a way that I haven't felt in years, more so then ever after Faithless. This book is not for the romance readers this is an intenst book. And it has even made me look at myself in a new way. AND I WILL SAY THIS SYN IS NOW HBIC. AND I LOVE HER FOR IT. I also love her interdigonal and look forward to the next book, but as of now Faithless is my love of the series. If I could I would give you 10 starts on goodreads and amazon but sadly only 5 are available for this masterpiece.

My favourite book in the series so far.
The thing is I seem to say this after every book in the masters and mistresses of restraint series.

This is one of the best collection of books I have read. Every time you end a book you feel as if everything has been said and brought together with very few cliffhangers, and yet the next book will blow your mind.

This book shows you the real history behind all of the characters, especially quiet and rarely mentioned Syn. I honestly did not think that much of a story could behind the quiet and reclusive Syn, how wrong could I be?

Just when I thought I understood the characters, another twist comes which makes you re-evaluate all The characters (some much loved characters) and see them in a completely different light.

Cannot wait to read the rest!

Welcome deviants to Faith’s epic story! This is one brutally profoundly addictive series, when you find out why Faith becomes Faithless, Syn and Cynthia you will feel like your heart is being wrenched out of your chest, I know I did. Erica Chilson is a true master storyteller that is sadistically brilliant and has one hell of story arc with M&M of Restraint. I love the way Erica writes strong dominant women that do not apologize for being their true self! All of the pieces of the puzzle fall into place with this book, the Game is revealed and so many questions were answered in this book. The sex scenes in this book can only be described as panty scorching! Cannot wait to finish this series!

O my goodness I love this series!! Great book that answered so many questions throughout the series. Regina was my favorite character, but now Faith/Cynthia/Syn might top her :) I want to reread the books to see all of the clues that lead to being disclosed in Faithless.

Can't wait for the fallout of the "new" game... Great job Erica Chilson.

Original Faithless:

I think this is my favorite in the series. I love Pixie and Wil. Love Grant's dirty talk, and just love the dynamics of all the cast against each other. This was by far one of my favorite books and favorite series and I can't wait to see how Erica makes it better in her "hopefully" re-released revised edition (yet to come)

Another one of Erica Chilsons books that I couldn't put down. Poor Faith seems to have been dealt a bad hand, but she makes the best of what she has. I love to read about a strong woman.
