Dance of Monsters

Darkest Dance #7

by Jagger Cole

I made a huge mistake.
I’ve always been the good girl and the dutiful mafia daughter.
So when my devil of a father is in trouble, I ask the help of a worse one.
Vaughn Bancroft is a demon in a three-piece suit.
A monster with the body of a god and the mind of a villain.
The first time we cross paths, he tells me to run away and never look back.
I should have listened.
Because taking his help means entering his world of power, control, and deviant games, and giving him my body and soul.
I thought I could handle his brutal touch. I thought I could weather his storm.
But I never accounted for the monster waking something monstrous inside of me.
Something that refuses to go back to sleep.
Something that craves his darkness.
Something that may destroy everything I am.

Dance of Monsters is a fully standalone dark mafia romance with a good-girl heroine and a morally gray hero. Readers are highly advised to read the TW inside. No cliffhanger; HEA included.

About the author

A reader first and foremost, Jagger Cole cut his romance writing teeth penning various fan-fiction stories years ago. After deciding to hang up his writing boots, Jagger worked in advertising pretending to be Don Draper. It worked enough to convince a woman way out of his league to marry him, though, which is a total win.

Now, Dad to two little princesses and King to a Queen, Jagger is thrilled to be back at the keyboard.

When not writing or reading romance books, he can be found woodworking, enjoying good whiskey, and grilling outside—rain or shine.

Vaughn Bancroft…the absolute unhinged man that you are 👏🏻😮‍💨 I absolutely DEVOURED this book. The inner demons…literally…that this man battles are insane. I wasn’t expecting so many of the twists and turns that came my way.

Sweet, innocent little Evie…girl you just got your whole world rocked and I loved every minute 🤣🤣 I love a corruption era and our girl isn’t a little fragile princess anymore. I loved her and Vaughn together. These two are polar opposites in so many ways but have so much chemistry it’s insane and it’s so palpable on every single page.

This book gives such good insight into what’s to come for second gen and I cannot freaking wait. As always, Jagger doesn’t disappoint. This book had hot as hell spice, plot and suspense. Highly recommend to all my dark romance, mafia lovers!

Thank you so much Jagger Cole for this ARC🤍

5th February could not just come faster and also YAAYYYY THE MMC IS VAUGHN
I LOVE EVIE SO SO MUCH IM SO EXCITED


I liked this book Evie was so cute and her character development was INSANELY GOOD
Vaughn is so so so HOT
There was chemistry there was banter THE SMUT!!!!???? Out of this world

But that’s it
That’s all there was

There was so much of smut the story couldn’t develop properly
The plot had potential but couldn’t be carried to its fullest….

3.5/5 ✨✨
Good book
Also lowkey it felt like it was inspired by RK’s Legacy of gods mixed with Royal elites series

The inner circle of The Syndicate
Vaughn- Aiden king
Sebastien - Xander Knight
Carson king- Ronan Astor
Gideon - Cole Nash

Maybe it’s just me but Evie felt a lot like Cecily blended with Ava’s social butterfly pink princess vibes

Jagger’s word of the day while writing this was SLAP… and rarely in the context of a palm against a cheek. Also, don’t think I didn’t catch the “because you make me curious” Heated Rivalry Easter egg!

[Hannah · Rating 5 out of 5]

Man oh man I can’t believe this series is over 😭 ending it with Vaughn and Evelina though was perfect. Not only was the smut so hot and straight up filthy, but the plot was so good too. The twists and turns had me stressed out and once again Jagger loves to just drop bombs on us that leave us shocked! Every time I think I know what’s going on, Jagger shows me I definitely DON’T.

5 ⭐️/2.5 🌶️

Okay, this was such a satisfying way to wrap up the series. I went in with a few theories about Vaughn from the earlier books and honestly? This story took a turn I did not see coming, in the best way. And Evelina! Based on what we’d seen before, I never imagined her character would evolve like this. Definitely not the innocent mafia princess vibe I expected, but her growth felt so right for the story 🙌🏼

What I loved most was getting inside both Vaughn’s and Evie’s heads. Understanding how they think, what drives them and how they process everything added so much depth to their relationship. It made their journey feel real and earned.

As expected from a Jagger book, the plot was tight, the writing was addictive and the spice hit just right 👀. The side characters were such a bonus too. I’m officially invested in Vaughn’s crew and really hoping we get books for all of them 🤞🏼

Overall, a fantastic finale and the perfect setup for what’s next. I’m so ready for the next gen series! 💥📚

Ugh I don’t know why I continue to torture myself… the thing is I do enjoy Jagger Cole’s books- I loved his dark hearts series but just for some reason his darkest dance series is such a flop for me… I never feel connected to the characters and I often cringe at the dialogue and storyline

I’m sorry yall I continue to give it a try but alas I hated it

[Cristina]

I liked the beginning of the story, the good girl vs the dark/dangerous H. But as the story progressed, I enjoyed less especially how the h loses her V card. Yes she has a safe word that she never uses but… as a reader, it left a bad taste.

[Melissa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Holy plot twist after plot twist after plot twist. This was DARK and intense and I loved every second.

Vaughn and Evie were the two characters I’ve been holding out hope for ever since Vaughn came on the scene and they did not disappoint.

You want fated soulmates? It’s these two.

Evie has been the good girl who blushes at any mention of sex. Sugar and spice and everything nice, that’s what Evelina is made of. She was sweet and innocent that the entire friend group has lovingly teased her and kept her in a protective bubble.

Enter Vaughn.

Vaughn is the dark and mysterious figure who stepped on the scene and exuded all the red flags, but red is our favorite color isn’t it?

When these two interact the chemistry is EXPLOSIVE.

Their banter is insane. And their sexual connection is perfect. They match each others freak to a t. She takes (and wants) every depraved thing he wants to do. So of course he becomes fully obsessed and addicted to her and we love to see it.

The love these two have for each other is obsessive, possessive, gentle, and pure.

This book is by far the darkest book of the series. Make sure you check the content warnings and triggers because the spice is off the charts. But it serves a purpose because it’s imperative to them and their relationship. It draws these two together on a soul deep level where they finally have someone to show their true selves to.

I loved this book, every single dark, depraved, and ugly edge to it, I loved it all.

I’m so sad this series has come to an end but I will always come back for a reread.

Eternal gratitude to Jagger Cole and Valentine PR for the arc. It was an honor to read this early.

I wanted to love this book. Jagger Cole is an auto buy for me and let’s face it Evalines story has been building in the last couple books and to pair her with Vaughn Wow! But I was so disappointed. This book had no storyline. No feelings between Evaline and Vaughn. Just raw, brutaluzing sex. This couple could have been awesome, instead I’ll really have to think about picking up a Jagger book because maybe his writing style has changed.

Dance of Monsters

Vaughn & Evelina

Jagger Cole pretty much can't miss the dark romance that's for sure.

This was so good

These two were fire.

I'm so glad she found her voice and confidence.

Also Vaughn … ugh so hott

So many plot twists, surprises and reveals.

I just love this world.

There is humor sprinkled in along with so much plot, spice, found family and mystery.

I really loved this

Great addition to the world and series.

So thankful for this arc

Final rating: 4.25/5

Thank you to Valentine PR and Jagger Cole for an Advance Reader Copy of Dance of Monsters in exchange for an honest review.

I have been patiently waiting for both Vaughn and Evelina's stories, and Cole did not disappoint.

Evalina has been portrayed throughout The Darkest Dance books as very sheltered and naive, despite being in one of the leading Bratva families. Vaughn, well, he has been portrayed as being dark, dangerous, and a complete psychopath, so you can only imagine how things will go when their lives intersect.

In a bid to try and help her exiled father, Evelina turns to the last person she can think of that may be able to offer her assistance - the Marquis of the Syndicate himself. Vaughn does everything he can think of to scare Evelina off, but she will not be deterred (despite the things that her father has done to not only her own brother, but Vaughn's as well).

But what Vaughn shows on the surface, does not even scratch the depths of his character. Without giving any spoilers, all I will say is that you will not expect what else Vaughn has to offer.

As with all Jagger Cole books, the spice is on point (please read the triggers at the beginning of the book to get a feel for what will be involved. This is not a PG romance book). I loved how Evelina really came into her own in this book, and started to stand up for herself and what she wanted. Even when things got tough, she didn't let anyone else tell her what to do, especially Vaughn.

I also really loved the depth of character we got from Vaughn, from more of what he went through as a child, his mental state, and the steps he started to take to heal from his past trauma. But don't worry - he didn't lose his dark and twisty side that Evelina loves so much.

And of course we got more Roman and Val given the interwoven familial relationships.

I cant wait for everyone to be able to read Dance of Monsters when it releases on February 5. And the second gen series coming this spring? Sign me the f*ck up.

[KayBeReading · Rating 5 out of 5]

We’re starting off with a bang. Our sweet Evelina is at Club Venom looking for Vaughn but why? Our girl blushes at the mention of something sexual so I just know her cheeks are red. Miss Evie is in over her head with the situations she keeps getting into and they keep happening left and right. Evie is a bit of princess but she is also that girl. People may think she scares easy but miss mama is up for a challenge. Vaughn is absolutely unhinged and I love it. I think he might be the most unhinged, he makes Carmine look like a puppy. Vaughn has his trusted inner circle, two of the I am skeptical about( each for different reasons). Evie got her some d**k and started acting up. I mean our girl is cursing and saying dirty words. And I am living for it! This man has our girl covered in “love bites”, he is just throwing her around and down. Evie is finding herself and a back bone. Vaughn is struggling with his inner demons( and sometimes they come out play). There is a part in this book that shocked the mess out of me. I have to put my kindle down. A Jagger Cole book never misses and this was no exception. Honey it was a roller coaster ride. Jagger had my mind playing tricks on me, I had to go back a reread a few times to make sure I read what I read. Evie and Vaughn’s relationship started off unconventional but turned into something beautiful. These two had to overcome a lot and they did( and there was a lot of drama in between). It was like a telanovela. This was a banger. I loved this entire series and I had a favorite but I think Dance Of Monsters may have taken the top spot.

Well Holy Batman‼️ Jagger Cole I don’t know what you put in your book but they absolutely consume me I absolutely DEVOURED this book. What a way to end this series.

Vaughn and Evie were two characters I've wanted their story for a while now and Jagger did not disappoint at all. This story was filled with plot twist that turned into more plot twists and I ate it like candy.

Vaughn Bancroft was the unhinged morally grey hero. I loved everything about him. He was dark and mysterious but still had that confidence. The man was a walking red flag. His inner demons that he was battling were off the charts and just made me love him more.

Evelina Nikitin has always been the good girl. She doesn’t talk about sex, hell she’s a virgin. She’s the sweet, princess ballerina who just got her world knocked off its axis. She shows us she’s a lot tougher than she looks.

These two were absolutely explosive together. They were very much each other’s opposite but somehow they just worked together perfectly. Their banter and sizzling chemistry was off the charts intense.

As always Jagger left us a few breadcrumbs of what is coming in the next second generation series and I can’t wait. This is Jagger at his finest This book is filled with all the elements that we love from Jagger but please read those TW before embarking.
Highly recommend tjis journey as Evie n Vaughn do not disappoint.

[Tiffany ✨️ Bergamot Book Reviews · Rating 5 out of 5]

Evelina is on the hunt for someone that will help her father. He's been ostracized, alone, and begging for help after his most recent attack on the family had him shipped off to Russia. She isn't sure how she feels about him, but she knows she doesn't want him dead. Her search puts her in the path of the Syndicate, and she'll do anything she can to become one of them and gain their protection for her dad.

*****

Sooooo I loved this one and I'm not sure what that says about me. If you're new to the genre, read those topic warnings clearly because this is heaaaaaavy on the S/m and has ample CNC throughout. If you're a dark romance lover like me, this will be absolute *chef's kiss*.

I loved that Vaughn was so twisted. His dark proclivities and mental health disorder together just made him so incredibly interesting, while also being just a messed up dude with ample secrets. Layering in his love for corruption and Evelina being the most pure of mafia princesses and it was bound to be explosive. I loved their on-page chemistry, and also how they changed for the better for each other and for themselves.

Vaughn softened for her, Evelina grew a backbone for him, and that gentle expansion of their characters was everything. I also really enjoyed that they stayed true to their BDSM core of how they experienced their intimacy together, and didn't change it once feelings developed. So many darker romances soften in that aspect, when the mutual enjoyment of that dynamic is usually what brought them together in the first place.

Also that twist? Wiiiiiild! I sort of figured it out, but I was questioning myself right up until the reveal and conclusion. All in all I loved this one, and am planning on going back and reading more of the authors works.

Thank you to Valentine PR for the advanced reader copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

[Katie Murphy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh my! Evie and Vaughn’s story was absolutely well worth the wait🤭.

Evie has come across in the series as meek and sweet but when she wants to help her father she is willing to do anything even if that means being at the mercy of a man who terrifies her. Evie had such a great character development from the woman we saw at the beginning of the series. She most certainly develops a back bone and becomes fierce in this book and Vaughn most certainly brings this out of her.

When Evie crashes a party to sign up to become a member for the syndicate Vaughn is instantly aware. He tries to scare her off but he soon comes to realise she won’t be persuaded. Vaughn especially becomes her mentor so to speak for her membership trials. Vaughn is a morally grey and controlled man who has a lot of darkness and inner demons and you will understand what I mean when you reach this book, but he is ever so shocked when he realises that Evie is the one woman who will match that darkness.

This book was definitely twist after twist and I was absolutely living for it- normally I would have an idea about where the plot would go but I couldn’t predict this. Our couple’s chemistry was impeccable and the smut was delicious as always.

While I’m sad to be saying goodbye to this series this was definitely a great book to finish up with. I cannot wait to explore more in the Jagger universe in the near future. Thank you to VPR who provided this e-arc for my honest thoughts 💭

[Kristi Lange · Rating 5 out of 5]

LOVED. I’ve had the privilege of arc reading this entire series and i’m so sad to see it end but can’t wait for the second gen series this spring!!

I’ve been obsessed with Evie from the beginning, something about the truly innocent character in a universe full of criminals was sooo good but i kind of wanted to throttle her for the stuff with her dad in this book 🥴

ANYYYYWAYY we’ve met both characters during the other books. Evie is seemingly a good girl - no swearing, no drinking, no drugs. But she has a dark side she didn’t even know existed until she comes face to face with Vaughn and her trials to join the syndicate..

“i actually want to dig my nails into his skin and open him up to crawl inside to be closer to him. and yes, i realize how utterly psycho that sounds”

Evie fell for Vaughn pretty quickly and even though he doesn’t do “we”, Vaughn fell right along with her no matter how hard he tried not too… and he’ll kill anyone who tries to get between them.. no matter the cost.

5 ⭐️ | 4.2 🌶️
This book was amazinggg. I mean aside from my conflicting feelings about the somno and roughness of it all at the beginning, Vaughn and Evie were so good together. I loved the sweet moments when he finally allowed her in his bed after her first encounter with his inner demons. Also, Evie demanding to become an “us” was hilarious because he DID NOT want to give her up and compromised by cementing the “couple” title begrudgingly LOL. He was like a petulant child in that chapter, so funny.

The savagery and at times softness of certain scenes were executed beautifully… a lot of [female] authors don’t quite portray that balance and when they set out to write unhinged men sometimes don’t give them enough grace.

Vaughn—28 years old

I swear I will never be disappointed by a jagger Cole book ever I will continually say this series has been my favorite I loved each and every book. Jagger writing just captures you and devours you whole in these stories and series the twist and the turns suprise you get when reading it’s 10/10 amazing and of course the hot and steamy spice we get along the way too. Vaughn and evies story was just as intense as every other one Vaughn story blew my mind with his trauma and back story and issues and had me semi confused in the beginning but all my questions got the answers! And who would have thought sweet little evie could thaw out Vaughn heart and learn her dark side of interests. I loved watching her grow into this new version of herself and her new level or snark she got to her! there’s so much to love about this book love that we got some of Val and Roman and also meeting Vaughn friends that have most definitely caught my attention and I feel like I need their stories asap 😂 as sad as I am this series has come to a end I can’t wait to see what else jagger has in store for us!!!

[Skylar Hatch · Rating 5 out of 5]

I say it every time, but this might be my favorite of the series 😭 Jagger Cole never misses, and I stand on that.

Sweet and innocent Evie has a secret side that can only be brought to life by one dangerous, psychotic man, Vaughn ❤️‍🔥 I so badly want more of these two forever, and the whole squad really. I absolutely gobbled this one up, and who knew I wasn’t sad I just needed a new Jagger Cole release?? 🤪

This is every bit of dark and dangerous that you need and want in a mafia-esque dark romance. The way Vaughn was so softy baby at the end?! My HEART. I love him.

What to expect:
🩰 Ballerina
🥃 Secret Society Leader (is that what the Obsidian is considered? Lol)
❤️‍🔥 Spicyyyy
😈 BDSM
❤️‍🩹 Forbidden
☀️ Grumpy x Sunshine

I DESPERATELY want Carson, Seb, and Gideon to have books too, please please please 🙏🏻

Vaughn Bancroft, the man that you are!

Jagger has a way to pull you in so fast into a story and this was no different. He had me hooked from chapter one to keep reading.

Vaughn Bancroft was unhinged psych0 dressed in a suit and he was perfect. I loved a man who’s over the top and V was very much so. I loved everything about him. Evelina took some time to grow on me but thanks to her arc I ended up loving her as well!

These two were fire together! I can always trust Jagger Cole to bring out the spice and again I was not disappointed! And always with the twists, I had no idea where it was going at times and couldn’t foresee what was coming.

Together with the sidecharacters and the groupchats I managed to laugh as well. Carson, Sebastian and Gideon was a trio that I need more from and i do hope we get to see them more in the future!

[Sarah | sarah.onemorechapter · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another Jagger work of pure unhinged perfection. My god I DEVOURED this book. The twists, the turns, so much chasing, and the voices… wow. It was a wild ride and I enjoyed every second of it.

Vaughn Bancroft is completely unhinged. I thought the others were mad, but him? He made the others look like child’s play. I loved the darkness inside him. He even named the depraved side & that part of him was a probably my favorite. Demon is a special, spicy sort of crazy.

Sweet sweet Evie had her world absolutely rocked by this man. The rose colored glasses were ripped off her innocent face and she was thrust into complete madness… and he didn’t go easy on her.

It breaks my heart to say goodbye to this series and these characters. But I can’t wait to see what Jagger delivers next!

Thank you Jagger Cole for the arc. I’m so grateful!

guys we’re leaving the mercury theater 😭😭😭

vaughn was everything i wanted him to be. he’s admittedly a little scary but he is the marquis of the obsidian syndicate so he’s gotta be pretty psychotic to get to the top. he’s been through a lot and it wasn’t for nothing. he’s uses everything he learned from his childhood to do better.

sweet, innocent evelina isn’t exactly so innocent after all 😅 i think everyone sort of created this image of her because she couldn’t curse or say “sex” without turning into a tomato and teased her about it rather than try to have an actual conversation about that with her. she still struggles a little bit to say those things with vaughn (i would too tbh) but she’s happily cussing her way through conversations with her friends.

i really loved how much we saw val and roman in this book as well. i absolutely loved their book and i was starting to miss them too much.

OMG this book just blew my mind!!! What a freaking way to end the series!!!!! I devoured and I do mean DEVOURED this book in one day because I could not put it down. And when I had to because like I had adult things to do, I could not stop thinking about it! I truly did not see this story coming but I am absolutely here for it. I’m not really sure what all that says about me lol.

This was an absolutely fantastic series and this book was on a whole level by itself! Please be sure to read your triggers and know that these books can be intense and spicyyyy but Jagger always creates the absolute best character dynamics that just fit!

I’m so ready for what is to come but kind of sad that series has come to its end! Thank you for the gift of this arc!

Honestly didn’t think any MMC would ever beat Cillian Kildare… then Val and Rome showed up.
And then Jagger said HOLD THAT THOUGHT and handed us VAUGHN MF’ING BANCROFT 😮‍💨🔥

Okay, let’s not get it twisted—Val & Rome are my babies and I will never be over how elite they are.

Do I think Vaughn deserved an FMC who was more of a bad bitch? Yes. Maybe even me. But I digress. Evie did annoy me with how much she wanted to save her dad after what he did to Val & Rome. (Again Val & Rome are my babies)

The plot? Plotted.
The smut? Delicious.
Demon? A goddamn masterpiece.

In my opinion, this was the best one in the series! Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely freaking loved every single one but this one was on a whole other level. Sweet and oh so innocent Evie who everyone compares to a Disney Princess gets involved with dark and unhinged Vaughn. Forget morally gray. I’d say Vaughn is more morally black. The things he does to Evie is so crazy and intense and dark and she loved every second of it. There was so much darkness, unaliving, suspense, twists, betrayal and the spice level was off the charts.
I loved this book!
