Review of advance copy received from Author
I was so lucky to receive an ARC copy of this book.
I dont know how to convey how good this was.
Right from the first page, I was hooked, and a deep understanding of the damage for the MMC was created. The appearance of the FMC was equally thoughtful and well developed. I found myself able to relate to both characters in different ways.
The plot of this story is well thought out, set up, and paced perfectly. The world building was created seamlessly with the introduction of characters and story, all supporting characters received the same amount of attention to detail as the mains and the peppering of sarcastic one liners and dark humor offered a range of emotional reactions.
I also need to mention how beautifully traumatic, triggering assaults were eluded to without explicit detail. ( A list of triggers is provided, so you can see if this book is for you)
Overall an amazing book, I truly wish I could give it a galaxy of stars for rating.
DESPERATELY AWAITING BOOK 2

Dark. Twisted. Soul-crushing.
Escape by KC Blackwell shattered me in the best way.
Kael is the kind of man who doesn’t threaten to burn the world—he’s already lighting the match. Sera’s journey is raw, relatable, and handled with care. My heart raced through the spice and ached through every twist.
Please check your triggers… but if you’re ready—this one hits different.
🔥🖤 100/10 recommend.

Listen. When I tell you this book said “no warm-up, we dive headfirst into chaos,” I mean we START with a man trying to save someone he loves friend, girlfriend, obsession and watching her die. Trauma unlocked. And before you can even process it? Boom. The gang has him. Welcome to the spiral.
Then we get transported to Escape… which is less “cute nightclub vibes” and more dark, dangerous playground for the morally unhinged. Seraphine is on stage, fully consenting, fully in control, taking the pain like she owns it. And the marks? She doesn’t hide them. She wears them like armor. And baby, when we get a glimpse of her past, you realize that armor isn’t aesthetic it’s survival.
Enter Kael.
Sir.
Mister dark and dangerous.
The walking red flag I would absolutely follow into traffic.
He sees Seraphine and it’s DONE. He clocks her strength, her scars, the way she doesn’t flinch and suddenly this man is feral. The stalking? Immediate. Some random guy touches her? Oh no. Not today. Finger = gone. Possessive doesn’t even begin to cover it.
And when she receives flowers the next day… with a literal finger and a note calling her little fawn? I gasped. This man is unwell. Down horrendous. Obsessed in 4K.
Now let’s talk about the roaches running Escape. Michael? Walking ego in a designer suit. Thinks he’s untouchable. Spoiler: he’s not. Then there’s Connercold, calculated, will-burn-the-world-to-own-it energy. Both of them needed to be handled, and I support the chaos that followed. Fully.
But can we please discuss Patrick aka PATTIKINS Seraphine’s best friend and the literal definition of ride or die? He keeps her grounded. He keeps her human. If anything happens to that man in the next book, I will not be okay. I will square up emotionally.
The pacing? Fast. Addictive. Blink and you’re 200 pages deep wondering when you started breathing again. The world of Escape pulls you in and refuses to let go. Torment, danger, obsession, suspense it’s all wrapped up in this gritty, diamond-in-the-rough story that makes you question your morals just a little bit.
And the CLIFFHANGER???
My brain is still in distress. Blackwell really said, “Here’s emotional damage, see you next book.” The level of torture inflicted on ARC readers should honestly come with hazard pay.
K.C. Blackwell is officially on my “you better send me the next ARC or I will combust” list.
If you like your romance dark, your men unhinged, your tension razor-sharp, and your endings designed to psychologically attack you—Escape is your next obsession.
Now excuse me while I go pace the room and manifest Patrick’s survival.

Possessive/alpha-hole energy? 10/10. Kael and Ser are 🥵🔥🌶️ and it's absolutely delicious.
Ser survives on trauma responses and coffee (seriously this girl has been through hell). Anxiety and panic are written in her DNA, but Kael becomes the balm for her soul, calming all the chaos. Ser’s past has carved her into the “Bad Bitch," she is. Her specialty? Teaching handsy creepers that "NO, is a full sentence.
Kael is top-tier book boyfriend material. He’s deadly and obsessed, deleting anyone who stands between him and what’s “his.” His intuition where Ser is involved is almost otherworldly. He embodies the “Stalker," trope, lurking in the shadows, always present, but not seen (seriously, when does this dude sleep?). He’s a "mob fixer,” who is slightly out of touch with reality. A bouquet+one severed finger? Um…..interesting choice, but then again, Kael=Best Book Boyfriend.
Mob bossman, Connor (we abhor him) is our resident sociopath with a "God” complex. He taught Keal how to be the perfect predator. Unfortunately for him, he didn’t account for Ser. Wanting something that’s not his, he kidnaps Ser, his "plaything (🤮, yup hate him). This becomes the catalyst that lights the match and the town will burn until Kael has Ser back at his side. Connor might have just signed his death warrant.
Everybody better clear a path. Kael won’t take any survivors.
On a serious note:
I love writing these reviews with a fun, snarky tone, but wanted to add a note. This book discusses Dark themes and can be triggering to some. Please take the trigger warnings seriously.
Ser was very relatable to me, her trauma responses hitting close to home. Kael’s ability to talk Ser through her panic using coping techniques that are real and something I myself use. It illustrates a level of understanding on trauma, the work to healing, and how trauma changes us in ways we might never get back. These coping techniques become a daily tool in our arsenal. It was refreshing to see this incorporated into a Dark Romance.

I don't normally yell at authors but I have to yell at KC because wow the cliffhanger? I wasn't expecting that not after the toll I had throughout the book.
The book was a hella of roller-coaster but the plot👌10/10
I love how Kael was portrayed at the beginning and felt bad at the same time that he was to watch Ariya die in front of him. Why would he deliver a severed finger with a bouquet of flowers? That was SAVAGE! TOP TIER👌and probably the scariest thing a person can deliver to you
Kael's a possessive, craziest but sweetest mmc I've ever met and probably the best book boyfriend I'll ever meet. He also gives stalker vibes as he watches Sera through the dark nights of the city, he's a true definition of "I would burn the entire world for me!!! And I will burn the lives of those whom tried/try to touch you without your consent"
Sera was a badass and despite have anxiety and panic written all over her DNA she survives with coffe and a daily dose of seeing her friends save and sound!! She thrives to be a better person and most importantly she doesn't let her past struggles and trauma change who she is. She obviously attracts danger but even then she makes sure that her friends are safe even if it means sacrificing herself to Connor
Connor is a parasite for sure and likes to feed of other people's lives and pretend as if nothing is wrong. He's death wasn't totally what I had imagined but I was happy that he died at the hands of Kael and not anyone else even tho I had wished Sera was there to add a few wounds
Overall...escape was beautifully written and I loved diving on each and every chapter except chapter 20 where I had to leave it for a couple of days because I didn't have the capability to continue forward. KC I hope your pillows are cold!!
-GO READ THE DAMN BOOK✌️😊

Review of advance copy received from Author
What this book did amazingly is the strong psychological characterisation. Trauma and BDSM was not used as hooks, or just aesthetic but portrayed realistically which is truly rare in dark romance books. To me this did not take away from the enjoyment, I loved to see this.
The only thing that didn’t sit right for me, was the instant gravitation pull between the characters, especially how obsessed Khael was with Sera. I was waiting for explanation, maybe a past they shared that would be revealed later. To me their connection lacked a “why”. A driving force behind their actions. I liked how descriptive the book was, but I felt like the prose lingered where I wanted the story to move on and gain momentum.
This is just personal preference but the jumping in between five POVs felt too much for me, we went back in the story and saw the same scene from a different angle which is nice, but I like to wonder and imagine how a character might have felt, and maybe find out later on what they thought based on their future actions. The plot is very intriguing and I wish we did get a bit more information about the characters past, I hope we will see that in the future books.
With all that being said I will carry Ser and Khael in my heart and in my mind and really hope I can get to know them more and see into their minds truly. Seeing kinks, and anxiety, trauma, disassociation portrayed so realistically is what I am most grateful in this book. Writing about these things truthfully and not just glorifying them for the plot is the hard road, and I’m so happy K.C. chose to write it this way.

Gosh, I'm so in love with this story.
On the tin it looks like your typical dark romance, but once the story starts to unfold you realize it's anything but. The characters are beautifully, tragically broken and there are no quick fixes or instant healing. Sera and Kael work slowly to overcome their demons together while trying to navigate the constant threat of the truly evil people hellbent on keeping them apart.
All of the subject matter in this story is handled with the utmost care. From implied (/off page) abuse and overt violence to healthy and conscientious depictions of BDSM. Particularly the way anxiety and PTSD is approached I find both tragic and relatable.
The characters make no apologies for their flaws and scars. They are deeply imperfect and they wear it with pride. Sera and Kael are strong, and smart, and sexy as hell. Their biggest mistake was simply surrounding themselves with narcissists who wrongly think they are the smartest people in every room they grace with presence. But wanting to make an example of our couple only serves to bring them closer together and unravel the criminal enterprise threatening everything.
I am endlessly impressed by author K.C. Blackwell, especially as a debut outing. The creativity, heart, and talent shown with Escape has me extremely excited for the next installment of this series.

🌶🌶 (2.5)
I don't give out 5 stars lightly but OH. MY. LORDY. This book was absolutely amazing! I really FELT their (MMC and FMC) trauma in the best (and most heartbreaking) ways. At first, I really wasn't sure this was my style but by 15% in, I couldn't think of anything else. I wanted to eat, sleep, breathe this book. It took me through a road of the highest highs and lowest lows. The experience of the traumas was done so beautifully because even in the way she didn't fully go in to detail on some of it, I still felt it in my soul and I was so invested in righting all of the wrongs done to both main characters! I can't say enough good things about this book- I will be recommending it to all of my dark romance girlies!
The only critique was there were a couple of grey areas with some charcters that kind of popped in towards the end that could have used a little more explanation but honestly, it earned those 5 stars regardless.
My final thoughts are- do yourself a favor and escape into this book! I can't wait to read the second in this series 🖤

This book was AMAZING.
I was sucked into it immediately, they characters were all so interesting- I LOVE that the baddies got their own POV chapters, so rare and refreshing!
The FMC was so likeable- kc wrote her perfectly. Her strength was so raw and powerful, yet did nothing to overshadow the intense trauma and vulnerability that created it.
The MMC was immediately heartbreaking. The trauma that dragged him into his life was gut wrenching. Even though his job was to be emotionless and ruthless, the softness we as readers knew he had fleshed out his character from the get go- making his attachments to the FMC and Patrick not ooc at all.
Speaking of Patrick... I. Love. Him. What an incredible character! I went into the book knowing the origins of the characters creation and my heart cried. What an amazing person to know. I cannot wait to read more about him- and thankyou K.C for letting us all know such an amazing human being having adventures in your literary universe.
This book is a MUST read.

Ok. Excuse me. That ending?!
Why you gotta do my guy like that?!
Real talk though. I picked this up on a recommendation from a friend and quickly found out the author is a STAY! (iykyk)
Through my reading I was definitely looking for "easter eggs" but then got completely sidetracked and pulled in by the plot CAUSE WHAT DO YOU MEEEEAN?!
Mafia vibes -> on point
Romance -> on point 🤤
Did I check the triggers -> no 😏
Should you -> probably, its on the darker side
Had me so sucked in I finished it in 24hrs while in a slump. Safe to say this baby successfully pulled me out.

• Found family
• Irish mafia
• He falls first
• Touch her and 🔪

Oh my gosh.
OH MY LANTA!
I need bigger caps and louder yelling please and tyvm.
This book is garbage.*
cough
Okay, no, it's really not.
It's extremely good. Exceptionally well written.
It deals with some triggering things and I highly advise all readers check themselves before reading BUT ... I was fine.
It's a good story. A great story.
I love Patrick.
LOVE PATRICK.
Love so many things... it's kinky and high spice in small amounts.
Basically it's garbage.*
(looks at the author) sorry it's actually fan-freaking-tastic.
I both hate and love the ending and ergo the yelling at the author because she said I could lol.
*Some of us have difficulty accepting praise - so I'm 'helping'.

Come walk on the wild side...
The book definitely allows you to do what the title says ESCAPE. I was fortunate enough to be along with the author on this journey and the book will not disappoint you. It's written tastefully and respectful that any reader in my opinion will enjoy.
I won't spoil anything simply because I want you to experience the characters first hand like I did but the only warning I have is will send you on an emotional rollercoaster ride...are you ready to ESCAPE your reality and join Kael?
I can't wait for the series to continue...for now I'll just reread this book until I know word for word like my favourite songs.

Hot, steamy, possessive mmc 🌶❤️🔥 strong fmc, even with the severe trauma she has. She tries to not let the trauma define and own her.
A quicker read but quite alot going on, several point of views. Tho I miss Sera's best friend Patrick being more "ooh hell no girl🚩" about Kael, but then Kael does/says something that makes Patrick go "hell yes girl✨️💚", and becomes team Kael.
I liked how it gives you a picture about her trauma, more than i have read before. The not so pretty side of it.
Recommending this book for all the ladies and gentlemens out there that wants to get showered in Kael's possessiveness and feel Sera's pain 💯💥❤️🔥❤️

I have been trying to think on what I want to write as a review. I am still trying to digest what I read in less than 24 hours.
All I want to say is this…
This book will not let you go. This book will make you get up early just to read it before the entire house wakes up. This book will make you message KC Blackwell at all hours of the darn day cause you can’t absolutely believe what she came up with.
AND
Then, you will not want to speak to her again until she gives you the NEXT book.
READ this BOOK!
So we can be upset at KC Blackwell together. 🤣

Wow! This book is a dark and traumatic ride. It had me locked in with emotions on the journey that this plot takes you on.
This story was real, traumatic and raw for the FMC, Sera! You feel her pain and desperation. You see her need for the MMC, Kael! You also see what havoc he brings into this story and his desire to have this woman. This story has dark themes, great banter and trauma.
Please check your triggers before jumping into this awesome book.
If you love books that have men that would burn the world down for the woman they love, then this book is a must have.🔥🔥🔥

I was part of the beta reading team for this book and I’m so happy that I was. Escape keeps you locked in from start to finish. The detail in the story gives you a feeling of being immersed within it, like you can feel every part of what the characters are feeling and seeing. K.C keeps you on the edge of your seat, unable and unwilling to put the book down. I’m not going to give any spoilers but I can’t wait for the next book so I can see what comes next in this riveting story.

What a ride!
Just when you think everything is going one way...BAM! The author puts a huge twist on your heart. I need the 2nd book ASAP! Kael is the bad guy that is only good for her (he falls reluctantly first). And Sera is a little spitfire that has overcome demons and devils, but survives. I really enjoyed the banter, the coping mechanisms, and the overall book. If you want a wild ride with plenty of twisty roads, buckle up buttercup, hold on, and enjoy this bumpy ride!

Not prepared for the ending!
Oh my! A woman still overcoming childhood trauma trying to live her best life with her best friend beside her. A mafia Enforcer hell bent on having her, touch-her-and-die vibes but also understanding her without words. The spice is there mixed in with one helluva plot! But that ending!!! I NEED book 2 asap!

I got an advance copy of the book escape from the author and I really enjoyed it
The suspense and the plot and the romance were on point. I can’t wait for the second book to come out because it does end in a cliffhanger

This amazing author teaches you what survival really means. Not just physical survival, but the lasting mental effects of living in a constant state of it. How it changes the way you react, and how you expect others to react to everything. How you start to expect pain instead of tenderness.
This is an absolute must read, but be ready to recover afterward. Take it slow if you can. Each word and each chapter allows you to see into the mind of someone who has truly had to survive a lot.
This book will break your heart from the very beginning, but the reason this author does it is to show what kind of person can be built from that kind of devastation.
5 stars are not enough for this book. This book teaches you what survival truly means!
