Main Master
Braddock Pierce grew up as an elite. He had it riches, businesses, a prestige reputation. Getting into the Gardens was everything he’d always wanted. At least…that’s what they keep telling him. But he’s not who they think he is.
Or… is he?
Allison is the perfect blank slate. Her mission is her unstable Master. The violence she can take. What she isn’t prepared for is the web of mystery woven around Braddock by his doctor. Nothing is as it seems. Is Braddock a ticking time bomb waiting to go off, or is Ally the real threat?
Reality is what we make it. Reality…isn’t always what it seems. -Elec

I know I keep saying it, but it doesn’t make it stop being true–The Gardens just keep getting better and better! This was a WILD rollercoaster ride that I feel like I took while sleep deprived, hallucinating, and only getting half the story. What is real? I don’t know…Braddock doesn’t know…Elec certainly doesn’t know. We’re all just sitting here in the dark waiting for the other shoe to drop and I think Mistress Two may quite possibly be the only one with a clue…or I suppose A.A. Dark herself. She’s woven quite the web of mindfuckery here and I must say, I’m here for every second of it. Braddock’s story was insanely dark and the side plot unfolding? Perfection. I cannot wait to see this all come to a head and will be (im)patiently awaiting for Mistress A-0002 to make an appearance.
I’m sorry, let me just scoop my brains out of the mind f*ck blender Alaska created and shovel them back into my skull. What is real? What is truth? Is reality only our perception or what others know? Who’s right? What constitutes as the truth?
This was another banger that had me questioning everything and as usual, leaves me salivating for more. Things are spiraling out of control at the Gardens and poor Elec, that man deserves a vacation and a good nap BC BLANK SLATE 91……..WHEN I SEE YOU MISTRESS 2 <<<<< Although tbh I have so many theories swirling around, my fingers are getting tired going back and forth between blaming Elec and Melissa.
Idk, go read the series. Alaskas Garden of the Gods novellas are out of this world and I will forever shout about them.
Even though this was about master Brad, the story seemed more focused on mistress 2 aka Melissa and the main master. Which I assume it’s to lead up to the last book of this series.
Brad was a prime example of how Melissa is able to brain wash these people. It’s funny as garden of the gods is for sick and privileged masters and mistresses to use humans they see fit, desire and love. Melissa is controlling most of them in her own way. They all messed up but somebody messing with your brain esp for the elites is too far. Always that saying, one rule for one, one rule for another.
The slave in this book was definitely one of my favourites, her purpose etc seemed fitting for her role in this story and one I enjoyed.
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. This book was of a master and blank slate/protector. I was hooked BUTTTT WE NEED ELECS STORY!! WE NEED A BOOK ABOUT ELEC. These little snippets aren't cutting it for me. I need a whole series on Melissa and Elec. Also would love an update on Bram and Ev. I have so many questions now and need to know how this plays out. Only one book left and I already know I'll be left devastated once I'm done.
This book just took the garden of the gods to the next level. My jaw was on the floor through so many parts. I found myself trying to figure out what was real and what wasn’t. Braddock and Allison are the ultimate pairing to me and their story put me through the wringer of emotions.
Honestly, this book changes everything. It’s been building up and building up to an extreme climax with each book but this one takes it to the next level as I said before. Read it right away if you are a fan of this devastatingly beautiful universe.
In this book we finally begin to see the beginnings of a bigger picture. We’ve see flashes of parts of the plots and plans but we didn’t know where it was leading us.
My mind got blown. I don’t know how this author dreamed this up. It’s dark and the story masterfully weaves a ROYAL MINDF^CK! You have to read the series to understand just how brilliantly A. A. Dark Universe truly is spellbinding! I mean WTF….
If you’re not afraid of the dark…I dare you to read the series! BEST UNIVERSE EVER!!!
Talk about being put through the wringer. Braddock and Allison’s story really tested me with trying to figure out what was true and what was false. With the mind games being played we were kept on the edge with what Braddock was dealing with and just how his slave Allison dealt with it.
As per normal, or as normal as can be within The Gardens the story kept me fully intrigued and I’m so eager to see more of the Garden’s secret revealed.
The end is near and I have mixed feelings about it. I want all the answers finally but I don't want to say goodbye to these characters that have been through so much. More things came to light and action is finally being taken but is it too little too late? I realise this is not actually a review of the books or re the characters, but you'll thank me for that. The novellas are quick and dirty and you'll want the joy of reading first hand that I got to experience.
Well we have another crazy, wild, gruesome quick read by one of my favorite dark erotic horror authors. While each book can be read as a standalone, I think we are now seeing a clearer picture of a story we have been getting bits and pieces of all along.
This mindbending horror thriller still keeps us guessing what is real and what is not, and the twist, well better read and find out.
Oh. My. G**. What just happened?! This whole book from beginning to end is a wild ride of WTF. And then to cap it off with that ending?! This was intense, scary, and surprising.
He’s not who he thinks he is….. or is he? More breadcrumbs on the way towards the bigger picture. Carefully placed hints woven into this story make it a thrilling reading experience. For all readers who are following the development of the GotGs, this story is a must on the way of discovery what is really going on there. What is the true purpose? What isn’t? Who is the true evil and who isn’t? Where is it all leading to and how is everybody going to deal with the consequences? You will feel left with some more clues but even with more questions once you’ve read Master B-1901‘s story. Can’t wait for more.
So this is my favorite thing about reading from this particular author. As we follow along and learn about Braddock we also start to see another side story beginning. This side story is such a doozy in itself, but before we even get that far,. Braddocks story alone is super intense. This is where it starts to all come together! I am super excited! Aren't you?
This book was a wild ride! Things are really heating up in The Gardens! The story goes more in depth about the gardens than any other has. I really liked the story, the characters and the fast passed cohesive flow. Get ready for a wild ride! I highly recommend this book!
