Sociopath Duet #1
Sociopath's Obsession
Sapphire
Life, as I knew it, was over one year ago.
I lost my family, my home and any support that came with it.
Living in a crappy apartment with my roommate and working two jobs was not how I envisioned my future.
However, that was one of the things my family had taught me.
Dreams and illusions held no power in the real world.
All this was worth it though as long as I knew I was safe.
Until he showed up, shattering any peace I had.
Sociopath
Violence towards those who wronged me was my only salvation and revenge.
Nothing brought me greater pleasure than the pain and suffering I inflicted on my victims.
Until I met her.
She became my obsession.
Sapphire.
My Sapphire.
If I were a better man, I would have left her alone and never made her part of my life.
But I was a monster.
And monsters didn't have hearts.

V.F.Mason always loved reading books and had quite a few fights with her mama over the genre she liked (romance, duh!) She studied filmmaking and thought that would feed her desire for stories, but that didn't happen.
Finally, when she was tired of all those voices in her head, she sat down and wrote a book. It was a huge decision to make and she thanks her friends and family for supporting her in it.
When she is not writing, she can be found with her friends doing all sorts of crazy things or reading recent romance books that were written by her favorite authors.

I didn't like the writing. The story-telling is not good enough, lacking unity, coherence and logic.
I can't feel any real connection between the hero & the heroine. He is unfortunately too damaged to be any good to any woman. She is really TSTL. There is no romance. It is all about some sick lust.
The way he hated sex because of what he went through as a child makes sense but the way she miraculously turned sex into something awesome for him at the very first time wasn't convincing at all. He needed years of therapy for that!
DNF at %80. I will not continue the duet.
Even if you are a fan of dark novels, I believe this is not one of the good ones.
* Warning: It contains lots of graphic references to child abuse (sexually). Really hard to bear! There are also scenes of physical torture and murder. No safe sex - no talk of tests etc. To add insult to injury, amongst all the mess.

I can't believe I took so long to read this book. It was fantastic. However, it was also next level sad, especially since I just read HIS BROKEN PRINCESS recently....sniff. Anyway, that ending WOWZA...I am heading straight into book two.

I’ve been meaning to get around to this duet for a while so this one was definitely long overdue and I was excited to get started with this.
I adore this authors serial killer books so knew I was in for a treat.
This is the story of twins Damien and Dominic, we met their parents back in His Broken princess so reading this and knowing there eventual fate and what life had in store for them and their parents really made my heart hurt intensely.
This was just so bloody tragic and bittersweet and as much as I was enthralled I was also heartbroken for them all it was just so sad.
This was told in a now and then fashion that this author always does so well.
We are given a series of flashbacks for both Sapphire and Sociopath that showcases just what demons are haunting both their pasts.
It was intense and obsessive and such an explosive read I just couldn’t put it down.
I also wasn’t expecting things to go down quite the way they did and it took me completely by surprise what a finale that was.
I really can’t wait to devour book 2 and finally get some much-needed closure.
Definitely recommend this dark read this author always brings the goods every time.

V.F MASON IS ONE OF MY TOP 5 FAVORITE AUTHORS OF ALL TIMES.... LIKE SERIOUSLY. I’M VERY MUCH OBSESSED AND ADDICTED TO V.F MASON BOOKS. I repeat OBSESSED!!!!
She always writes the best and just how i wanted on a book. She writes happy ending, very cute and long epilogue, THE HEROES IS TOP OTT POSSESSIVE ALPHA MALE which i like most!!!! No pushing away, no ow and om drama that is too much (NOPE), many jealous scenes from the hero and not too sassy heroines.
‼️‼️‼️THIS BOOK CONTAINS RAPE, VIOLENCE and KILLING. Not from the heroine and hero both fight each other like that, but its from their bad terrible past that happens in their life. Its from the bad people who captures and did really bad thing. So do not worry! :)
‼️‼️‼️THE HERO IS OTT POSSESSIVE PROTECTIVE ALPHA MALE.
‼️‼️‼️THE HERO IS IMMEDIATELY OBSESSED WITH THE HEROINE WHEN HE SEE HER THE FIRST TIME AND ALL THE TIME its cuteeee! Hot and cute tho... Like literally the hero wants the heroine so much its so hot to see it lol
‼️‼️‼️VERY HOT Smut scene.
Soooooo hot!!!!
‼️‼️‼️I LOST COUNT ON HOW MANY TIMES THE HERO SAID “YOU ARE MINE. MINE. MINE. MINE. MINE. YOU’RE MINE. SHE’S MINE” to the heroine and to himself and to everyone like he always say that without a doubt. So hot!
‼️‼️‼️NO VIRGINS.
But both have been celibate for a very long time. I LOVE WHEN THE HERO SEE THE HEROINE FOR THE FIRST TIME AND DIDN’T EVEN HAVE A RELATIONSHIP YET WITH HER, HE JUST REALLY SO LOYAL TO HER. He never ever touch or go to anyone else. Even the heroine never did because she was single as well. SO NO TALKING ABOUT THE PAST RELATIONSHIP!!!!
‼️‼️‼️NO MANY PUSHING AWAY FROM THE HEROINE. NOT TOO MANY THO. LIKE TWO TIMES. THE HERO NEVER PUSH THE HEROINE AWAY.
neveeeerrrr.....
‼️‼️‼️NO OW DRAMA EVER. NO OM DRAMA. All the drama is about their past enemies, like the heroine’s dad and the hero’s past enemies as well.
‼️‼️‼️the i first book of the series so it has a cliffhanger. But don’t worry because the cliffhanger is not too heartbreaking! So read the second book immediately lol
OF COURSE THE SECOND BOOK IS HAPPY ENDING...
‼️‼️‼️LOVE IN FIRST SIGHT
‼️‼️‼️MANY JEALOUS SCENES FROM THE HERO! Little from the heroine. Little. But the hero? A LOT AND HOT.
“NEVER MENTION ANOTHER MAN AND (the heroine) IN THE SAME SENTENCE”
“You ever touch her or so breathe in her direction, you’re dead.”
‼️‼️‼️IT HAS SEPARATION FOR 6 YEARS. BOTH ARE VERY LOYAL AND DIDN’T GO OR TOUCH ANYONE ELSE. EVER.... LIKE NEVEEEERRRR!
I know its a very long time. But do not worry guys because both are busy with other important stuff at the time which you will understand when you read the book. So of course both are very loyal. Both just really much in love:)
“As pathetic as it sounded, I belonged to only one man, even If I couldn’t be with him”
“I WANTED YOU FOR MYSELF INSTANTLY. NOTHING WOULD HAVE STOPPED ME. SIX YEARS. TWO THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED NINETY ONE DAYS. NOT ONCE DID THE THOUGHT OF ANOTHER WOMAN ENTER MY MIND. I’M YOURS.”
Don’t you see how much i love this author and the stories? 😁
‼️‼️‼️HAPPY ENDING! Got married and have kids and few years later. So very cuteeee!
Overall this long story is very romantic, hot and thrilling at the same time. ITS VERY ROMANTIC TO SEE SOME GUY WHO HAVE BEEN SUCH A HORRIBLE LIFE IN HIS PAST, He can change to become better for the woman he loves. He immediately want to do the right thing with the heroine. No playing games and no messing around. Really fight his own demons for the heroine. He felt very different and happy with the heroine. The woman he loves very much. He loves her so much that he willing to sacrifice everything for her...
“No one ever had control of my body”
“SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO TOOK MY DEMONS AWAY AND MADE ME WANT TO LIVE.”
Like wow....
I can’t wait for another stories from this author because she really made me want to read her books for my entire life!!!!

ARC kindly provided in exchange for an honest review.
Title: Sociopath's Obsession
Author: V.F. Mason
Series or Standalone: Series, First Part
Category: Dark Romance, Thriller
Plot: 5
Characters: 4.5
Scorching Level: 4.5
HEA: Not telling
This is a new author for me and I am so happily surprised with this book! Great atmosphere and gritty settings!
Sapphire was born in wealth but she is now struggling to make ends meet. Her family disowned her cousin and herself and she is now trying support both of them working as a librarian.
Her world is turned upside down when she receives an email that threatens her life. The email is from a serial killer called Sociopath.
Not knowing what to do, she seeks help in the one man that supposedly can protect her.
Dominic is a lawyer and promises to help her...His twin brother, Damian, is a different story altogether. You see, Sapphire has a history with Damian but he cannot seem to remember her at all. Still, the power he has over her is strong; his charm can be lethal. Can she survive from the serial killer and protect herself from the two twin brothers that theaten her sanity?
The story takes the reader on a wild ride. You never really know what is going on and I am loving the mystery!!!
Sociopath seems like a monster and he is a cold hearted killer.
Mercy. What a funny concept.
But I do believe there is a reason he is the way he is...
No one was born a monster.
He never had a problem torturing men who deserved it...but things are different with Sapphire.
Can she survive his obsession?
The author does an amazing job with her storyline! The story flows smoothly and it keeps you at the edge of your seat!
Adding more to my review soon!

A friggin must read for everyone! What can I say? Where do I start? This story is one of my fave of 2016 to date!
Damian. Dominic. Sapphire. The three are involved in s twisted game of revenge. Sapphire is a daddy's girl and she views the world through rose colored glasses until one fateful day. Her world comes crumbling down in one day! Was it fate or a setup? Enters Dom and Damian.....
The boys want their revenge. But what are they willing to sacrifice for the revenge? Anyone affiliated with the organization turn up dead so where does that leave Dom and Damian? Who is this sociopath wreaking havoc on the elite?
This story is filled with twists and turns and unlimited drama! It's a definite 10 on the dark scale so heed this warning. This story details human trafficking at its worst, torture, and serious revenge. This story is beautifully written and exploits every emotion to the max!
Five gut wrenching stars! I adore this story!

Wow what a read. If I bit my nails I'd have no nails left!!
This is seriously a great read that I inhaled in one night. I could not put it down.
Sociopath is a killer. When Sapphire becomes his obsession her life's changed forever.
This is a real dark read so be warned.
I've got to say if I'd have known this would end the way it did I'd have waited until book two was released however this gives me an excuse to re read it before book two is released.
Loves it.

DNF
1. Mind-numbingly stupid heroine that is literally TSTL. I just couldn't stand her.
2. Instalust and instalove(ish).
3. Bad writing style, incoherent, confusing and lacking.
4. Lack of maturity among characters who act more like high school kids than adults.
5. Heroine's best friend? I wanted to strangle her myself.
The only plus was the fucked up hero and his thirst for revenge but that wasn't enough for me to continue. I need to feel the romance and root for both characters to actually enjoy the book.
We don't get that here.
I have another book from this author on my kindle and I really wanna read it and like it so I really hope that this book was just a silly misunderstanding that I'll be willing to forget and move on.

3.75- 4 stars!
Okay. okay. Okay.
Here's the thing, VF Mason is the newest member of my "im-craving-for-dark-twisted-romance-so-i-need-to-read-this-author's-book club. I read a novel of hers before- and I absolutely loved it. Uhm... this book though? It has it's issues when it comes to the pacing of the story. T'was a bit rushed and vague when it comes to the "unraveling of secrets" portion. I liked it a lot but not totally loved it. Although to be honest, I was very impatient to know the twist of the story ( I had my theories which turned out to be correct btw) so I book-binged this.
This is a duet novel so I'm gonna jump into the next book for the conclusion.
Okay. okay. Okay.

I liked it a lot but not totally loved it. Although to be honest, I was very impatient to know the twist of the story ( I had my theories which turned out to be correct btw) so I book-binged this.
This is a duet novel so I'm gonna jump into the next book for the conclusion.

Surprisingly for a book about a woman getting kidnapped by a serial killer it was on the light side of dark. The darkest parts of this had to do with child abuse. It wasn't extremely graphic, but nonetheless it was not easy to read about. I hadn't wanted to put it down while reading, but in the end it was lacking. The flashback scenes between the past and the present didn't always flow well. The romance was the most disappointing part. Damian's obsession with Sapphire happened for no apparent reason. Their attraction seemed to be physical more than anything. This book took place in the span of 5 weeks. It was hard to believe they genuinely felt the way they did by the end. Their relationship needed to be developed more to make it believable.

Sociopath's Obsession (Sociopath 1)
V.F. Mason
5 stars and 5 more and find however many more you have and attach them to this book.
Holy Geezus, Mary and everyone else too. I am completely speechless. Who is this V.F. Mason and where has she been? The first thing I did after reading this and catching my breath and reading the last page again and another time and again I went digging for a picture of this Mason writer person. I went to Goodreads, FB, personal website and nothing .. not one stinking photo. Why did I do this? Because I wanted to see the mind that wrote this horrifically beautiful, shocking and tragic mind boggling just delicious bender.
I do have to warn readers. The subject matter is not for the faint of heart. There are no in depth descriptions and nothing that made me cringe but you all also know I like the more edgy stuff. There is abuse, very adult situations, and topics that might not be for everyone. I cant say what exactly because it would be a spoiler. What I can tell you IF you are reading and you just cant make it through them you can skip over because you will understand what made the man the way he is. (There are only two very short snippets I would consider maybe difficult for some to read.) Now since I have that disclaimer for you all let me get down to the dirty .. and lord its a hot mess.
Sociopath was his name or at least the name those who received an email from him knew him as. If you saw his name you knew the end was coming. The world knew about him as well. He was a hunted man but no one could find him and know one would find him. He was too good at what he did. Revenge wasn't even what this was about. It was about the torture, the hunt and the kill. There was a reason for him ridding the world of these horrid creatures. They were cut from the devil. The devil that he knew too well. There was no salvation for him. She was not the target but she was there. Sapphire. He should not have touched her but he couldn't turn away from her. She was no different than the others. Sociopath's always get what they want, play with what they want and in the end do what they want.
Sapphire thought she knew life. Her parents stuck their noses in the air and currently she was attending another event that was being held to shield the other do gooders from the truth. Thinking back on that night it was the night she met the man who electrified her soul. Now after being disowned by her parents he is here again. She has dreamt of him. She thought he would come for her the night she was banished. She waited in the same spot she first met him but he never came. Now there is so much more. He doesn't remember her .....
I have never in my life been so involved in a book that I completely lost time. I don't know where this story came from but lawd have mercy I hope V. F. Mason has several more wrapped up in that head and is pounding them out on the computer right now. Let me tell you these characters will snatch you up into their world. The events on the pages of this charismatic and terrifying story will have your heart barreling through brick walls to get to the end. Oh but no ... don't do that ... try to slow down because the end is the worst BEST most brilliant part. We use the word cliffhanger so casually ... this is more than that .. this is a hurricane and a tsunami all wrapped up in one big kabaammmmm! V.F. dropped the mic, held her hands out and gave us a "take that shit" head nod and quietly walked away laughing. WTF! JULY --- JULY! That's when we get the rest or who knows she may kill us more.
All I can tell you is if you want a book that is going to crawl up into your skin and grab a hold of your soul this is it. Its brutal, its terrifying, its consuming and its one of the best (yes friends) love stories of two people I have EVER read. And no I don't feel bad about it ... maybe I have issues but you know what this man knows what he wants and so does Sapphire. The rest just is what it is. Promise me one thing though -- when you flip to the last page -- take a deep breath -- read it again and again and THEN go back and read the prologue. Everything that has not connected will and the revenge in your heart, if it had no already, will take a swift turn. That doubt of you being completely jacked in the head will leave and you will see your not as crazy for loving this story as you thought you were .... because you are going to LOVE Sapphire and Sociopath. I may be sick and twisted but you know what .. I own that!
Sweet baby Jesus - V. F. Mason I don't know where you have been but you are on my radar now. Thank you for the ARC. I saw this one roll across my news feed and I thought I might end up clicking it up. I should have known Tracy already had it pegged for me to review. She knows my sick and twisted love. This is just a all consuming amazing read. The characters are GAH! This series is going to be sitting right up there with all my other crazy messed up men I love. This isn't just a drill them and kill them friends there is depth to the story line, the characters again are written with a craft of being able to picture this brutal man, this torn woman, and the situations they both in a sense perished from and were "reborn" around. Its extremely difficult for me to express what I am without giving spoilers and I don't do those.
July .... I need July ...... I need it now ..... Thank you thank you thank you for writing this epic tale.

Hacer un resumen de qué va este libro es un poco complicado pero lo intentaré:
Sapphire es la hija perfecta, todo lo que sus padres le han pedido que sea, ella lo ha sido. Odia tener que ponerse una fachada pero le queda poco para terminar la universidad y pronto podrá irse. El día del baile de máscaras que celebra su padre para tapar rumores de infidelidad, Sapphire conoce a un hombre misterioso que la deja prendada incluso sin nunca saber su nombre. Pero dejó su vida lo suficientemente marcada para cambiarla por completo y para siempre.
La trama es de 10. Y lo es porque me tuvo intrigada sobre en realidad cuantos protagonistas había, fui desde dos, a uno que fingía ser dos, a uno con bipolaridad... y nunca acababa de confirmarlo, me daba una de cal y otra de arena. La autora o autor, no se muy bien que es porque no lo he buscado, voy a reconocer mi ignorancia en esto, se ha currado muchísimo la intriga de esta historia.
No le doy las 5 ⭐️ porque la actitud de Damian no me gustó. Al principio cuando se llevó a Sapphire y todo eso, entiendo que para él solo había una meta pero... el caso es que luego consiguió que llorase con tanto flashback y sobre todo ese final de infarto que dejó y ahora mismo voy a por el segundo porque no puedo quedarme así.
Recomiendo mucho el libro pero es necesario mientes y estómagos fuertes.

Sapphire
Life, as I knew it, was over one year ago.
I lost my family, my home and any support that came with it.
Living in a crappy apartment with my roommate and working two jobs was not how I envisioned my future.
However, that was one of the things my family had taught me.
Dreams and illusions held no power in the real world.
All this was worth it though as long as I knew I was safe.
Until he showed up, shattering any peace I had.
Sociopath
Violence towards those who wronged me was my only salvation and revenge.
Nothing brought me greater pleasure than the pain and suffering I inflicted on my victims.
Until I met her.
She became my obsession.
Sapphire.
My Sapphire.
If I were a better man, I would have left her alone and never made her part of my life.
But I was a monster.
And monsters didn't have hearts.

This story is twisted, it is even beyond twisted! It is about a killer called Sociopath and Sapphire, a former upper class socialite. One night, during a party, she meets Damian and learns her father's disgusting secret. A secret that gets her, and her best friend Sophie, disowned forcing them to run and make it on their own.
When Sociopath sees Sapphire at the party he is instantly obsessed
Until I met her.
She became my obsession.
Sapphire.
My Sapphire.
After I was done with him, I could start my plan of kidnapping her and making her mine.
One year later Sapphire receives a email from Sociopath, letting her know that she is his next target. When her parents kicked her out, her nanny gave her a card to contact Dominic Scott in case she needed help, so she turns to him. Much to her surprise , and the reader's, Dominic turns out to be Damian’s twin brother and has his own issues and secrets, but he still agrees to help her.
Damian is totally and utterly obsessed with making Sapphire his
“I saw you and wanted you to be mine. There isn't much of an explanation to this, Sapphire.”
Sociopath's Obsession is a deliciously dark story that will keep you interested and your mind spinning. The book ends with a cliffy and I cannot wait to start with book 2 Sociopath's Revenge like now!
Could my one and only be a serial killer?
Part of a series that need to be read in order:

Oh wow, this was fantastic to say the least. I think I'm in love with a Sociopath! Not a dull moment. The excitement and sexiness over the top. Warning though... it goes back and forth from his younger years with his brother and can cause triggers. Be warned! Unbelieveable, I LOVED IT!
***I have had nothing but trouble with gifs on here... never before and I'm real frustrated so you may see IMAGE ERROR quite a bit, I will edit then and give up. Very upsetting! Maybe it's my laptop, problem is, they work on giphy and photo bucket but when I put them on here... NOPE! Any suggestions would be appreciated, if something on here has changed!

A friend suggested I read this book and I was skeptical...
But my friend was correct, this book is wonderfully written and Damian and Sapphire's story is a passionate and convincing tale of love and possession.
I am looking forward to the second book of this duet

This is a tricky review to write.
I loved the storyline but not the writing.
It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great either and I could tell exactly what was gonna happen and the ‘twist’ very early on in the story.
There were points where I was left confused as to who was saying/feeling what and others where there was just a little too much information on the things that bored me so I found myself flicking through the pages until I got to the dialogue again.
It had the potential to be an amazing book as it had lots of my favourite darkness in it.
Serial Killer.
Mental Illness.
Possessive alpha male.
Tortured past.
Dark and passionate sex.
DAMIAN
I liked this dude. Maybe ‘liked’ is the wrong word. I found him...interesting.
He’s a dark and powerful man with a twisted and brutal childhood.
He and his twin brother went through...some shit when they were just 10 years old. It was horrific.
Well, it was in my head anyway.
The author didn’t go into too much detail here (although there are definitely major **TRIGGERS**) - and I’m sure I’m about to upset some people when I say this next part: I needed more dark details. I need the tears and cries of pain.
Yes, it’s fucked up but, when I read dark, I need to be fully immersed in their world.
I need all the details. I need to feel their pain.
Anyway as an adult he despises women and all things sex-related. Until he lays his eyes on Sapphire.
Women were interchangeable, and I only used them when I needed a cover. I never wanted to touch them, never wanted them to touch me. Fucking hated any physical contact with them longer than what was necessary. I never allowed them to touch my dick, or any other part of my body. I had to learn how to please them, so they wouldn't try any stupid moves. Sex was a chore, a necessary weapon to use when information or access was needed.
So he’s on a mission to destroy everyone who harmed him and his bro when they were wee but when he meets Saphire things take a detour and he becomes obsessed with her.
And like a cat with a mouse, he’s gonna play with her a little before diving in, lol.
SAPPHIRE
I wasn’t too fussed with this lass. She seemed ‘nice’. Normal, in a wealthy princess kind of way. Mum and dad gave her everything and in return, she had to play happy families in public. While she’s at one of their functions (a masquerade ball) she meets a man that she has an instant connection to and they get their freak on in her dad’s office.
But she has no idea who he is because he was wearing a mask.
Anyway, he kinda leaves her panting for more when they part ways and she’s hopeful that they’re gonna hook up again soon but, all Hell breaks loose and she suddenly finds herself with no money, no home, no family and no hot dude.
In fact, the dude is nowhere to be found for the next year!
DARKEST SCENE
Just so you are aware, there is child sexual assault in this book so **TRIGGER WARNING** for the following excerpt.
“Can I ask for a favour?” I asked, and he motioned with his head for me to continue. “I need some new blankets and medication, and John doesn’t want to give them.” “And you think I would?” Swallowing the bile in my throat, I replied, “Yes.” He exhaled again and removed the bed covers, leaving him naked with his old body in view. My stomach flipped, and with all my strength, I halted the gagging. I knew what was coming, but for him to help me, I couldn't show any emotion on my face. Of course, he was fucking hard again. After all, he took blue pills. “Everything has a price in this world, boy. Suck me like you used to, and you can have what you asked for.” He hadn't wanted it for a long time, probably too afraid of me doing something to his dick. But since I had asked for help, he held all the cards. I hated him. But for my brother, I would do anything. I went down on my knees and proceeded to pleasure the fucking pervert, who got off quickly. Thank fuck for that. Around the time we turned eleven, I learned to block everything during sex. Horrible things were done to me, but I had retreated so far into myself that it almost felt like I wasn't present during the act. All I did was count in my head, one-by-one, and then I always knew when someone was close to finishing. That was the only thing my mind concentrated on. Giving fucking head to S was not an exception.
SEX SCENES
Still pretty hot though, lol.
A gasp left my lips as he ripped my panties with one swift move and growled as my heat opened up to his eyes. “I want to taste you, devour you, and feel every part of your body,” he whispered heatedly. He delved his tongue inside me, mimicking fucking motions while his hands raised my legs over his shoulders, his hands running over my smooth thighs. He shifted his tongue higher then sucked on my clit. My body twitched as electrifying pleasure consumed me, making me feel every nerve in my body. “Like it, babe? Feel good?” I moaned again as he pushed his finger inside while his mouth sucked my lower lips, one-by-one. The room was filled with my soft gasps and his sucking sounds. Heaven. “Delicious, you’re fucking delicious. I could spend days here.” My body tensed as I slowly reached for my high. I heard the sloppy sounds of him jerking off, and then everything within me shattered as his fingers pushed inside and he sucked hard on my clit. A loud scream left my mouth as my body sagged back on the bed.

3.75 "Wild Ride" Stars
This story is told in multiple POV. I love the creativity in this story. This is my first Crack @ a VF Mason book. I was very impressed. It seems to be her first attempt to crossover to the dark side, and for a debut she did very well. Ms. Mason has 2 contemporary rockstar stories out as well. Ms. Mason, I hope you understand, us dark lovers can be huge critics.
I Loved that the author gave you more questions with each nugget that was dropped. You are constantly wondering who Sociopath is. You are wondering who & what Sapphire's father is & does on the side. Just when you think you have it figured out, nope not it. That part was the best! I loved the duplicity in Sociopath's personality. Was he good, bad or both? Ya'll know I love tortured souls & boy was Sociopath tortured. My heart broke for him. Another great part of this story was when you did get answers, you paid for them. You'll have to read the book to understand that little criptic statement. Gotta know more about S. We also need more information on the victims. Which ones received the most names & how they were connected. I especially want to know what was done to Richard & Alfred! Is Conner & Melissa actually Beth & Ben? If not, what happen to them? Where the scar on his neck came from. And so on...
Loved, loved, loved the story up until around the 88% mark. It wrapped up too quickly for my taste. Usually that would have me not going for book 2. Most of the 5 yrs later should have been saved for the first part of book 2. Part of it could have been used in this book without giving away so much. Like the Bratva without giving identity. If you are gonna give me a cliffhanger, give me a great one... a cliffhanger that makes us readers NEED the next book immediately.
However; in this instance, I will be going for book 2 (which should be out in July). I do see greatness in this author & want to see the progression of growth. I believe we may be in store for another awesome ride. I hope there is more torture along with twists & turns in store for us! And from this talented newcomer, I expect it!

I was in a dark erotica mood and this book is not it. That’s on me. I had certain expectations. Also I wasn’t overly fond of the writing style.
First off, I hate it when the author writes the ending at the beginning of the book. I highly advise you in skipping the first chapter. It kind of gives away a part of the book. Chapter 2 starts 5 weeks earlier, so I promise you won’t miss anything.
It didn’t take me long to figure out where the storyline was going. I could say there would have been some twists and turns, but for me there were none. I’m not sure if this hindered my reading experience, it’s not the author’s fault I figured everything out in the book, but it kind of sucked all of the unexpected elements.
I found the writing really descriptive and repetitive. I enjoyed the dialogue parts, but I found myself skimming and flipping through pages and pages of descriptive writing. I think the author goes into detail over her Heroine’s past sexual partners. I don’t really need to read a play by play of all the guys she had sex with.
There are past and present parts of the book. I really didn’t like reading the past parts in a different font. Can’t you just write “PAST” at the top? I know it’s silly, but it was hurting my eyes. Also, each chapter was titled and some titles are the character’s names, but the character’s names weren’t the POV the chapter was from. SO I was confused a lot and ignored the chapter titles.
ALSO the past parts had different POV’s but it was never explained who’s POV it was, you just had to figure it out. That was kind of annoying. I also didn’t think the past parts were needed. It was just too much details of sexual abusive that wasn’t needed. I skimmed that because I’m a mom and no thanks.
Overall, I stuck out with this book because of the reviews and I wanted a dark erotic book, but there were just too many things that didn’t jive with my reading style. I’m not sure if I want to finish the series out, I might take a break until then.
I was in a dark erotica mood and this book is not it. That’s on me. I had certain expectations. Also I wasn’t overly fond of the writing style.
First off, I hate it when the author writes the ending at the beginning of the book. I highly advise you in skipping the first chapter. It kind of gives away a part of the book. Chapter 2 starts 5 weeks earlier, so I promise you won’t miss anything.
It didn’t take me long to figure out where the storyline was going. I could say there would have been some twists and turns, but for me there were none. I’m not sure if this hindered my reading experience, it’s not the author’s fault I figured everything out in the book, but it kind of sucked all of the unexpected elements.

I really struggled coming up with an adequate review for this book.
The pros and certainly most importantly the story line was really good. I love the plot behind it and the twists, turns, and glances into the past, further past, and present. I also loved the multiple povs. The author did well portraying each of the main characters.
However - and this is where my rating dipped down to three when it could have been a solid 4-4.5 on my normal scale - the pacing and progression of the plot was staggered and didn’t always flow naturally. There was also a few times where I didn’t know who’s POV I was reading. There were times when menial things were excessively described when important events were swiftly pushed past with only a sentence or two.
And there were a few times where someone’s decision to accept something was so sudden that as a reader I was like “wait, what? How is this suddenly a nonissue when it was for a few chapters and there’s no explanation.”
I also noticed that at 63% and 87% that it get like I was reading way different writing styles that werent present through the rest of the book.
I suppose I was hoping this book would be more of an erotic dark suspense thriller than anything - but that could be on me because my expectations are usually a lot darker when I jump into books like this.
So despite the issues I had with the writing which dictated a good portion of my rating, it certainly was a good story and I’m eager to read the next one.

This was actually a pretty solid book. I have kind of been in a book rut lately so I decided to read something a little out of my comfort zone. I don’t normally read books that glorify kidnapping, rape, and murder. But this book put those things in an almost “realistic” way, where I almost understand the appeal. All in all really well done and if you like dark romance I recommend.

5 Sexy-&-Psychotic-Stars! ☆☆☆☆☆
Right from the very beginning, the Prologue had my body covered with goosebumps, jaw dropped, heart racing & breathing heavy. Wow.
You know your reading a good book when you slow down to read every word and appreciate the order of those specific words that made you feel those emotions.
“If I were a better man, I would have left her alone and never made her part of my life.
But I was a monster.”
V.F. Mason...where have you been all me life?! The writing was intense. The story was heart-gripping. The characters were interesting beyond words... and the plot twists were mind-blowing! Ka-Boom! :) i wish I could give more than 5 stars.
In case i didn't express yet how much i loved this book, I adore it! There were so many good lines in this book.
“She would be my first innocent victim.
Like I said, she was my first in many things.”
I hated Sophie, Sapphire's best friend. She was so self-centered and stupid. Sadly, even i have friends like Sophie and considering Sapphire doesn't have many friends, i understand why she hangs out with her. And don't get me started on her parents. What pieces of sh!t.
The sex scenes made me hella horny. Honestly, who can read this and not want... :
“Your moans are only for me.” He returned his attention to my breasts, sucking and playing with my nipples, while his hands hiked my dress up to my stomach. The cold air forced goosebumps along my exposed skin. Then he moved lower, placed a soft kiss on my stomach, and pushed my thighs wider. He nipped the tender skin then pushed my thong aside, leaving me bare for his gaze. His tongue flicked my cl!t then he started sucking. He flattened his tongue and lapped at my core, gently licking and pushing his tongue inside me. I raised my hips in pleasure, wanting more. His hands caressed my thighs and then he placed them over his shoulders, allowing him deeper access, and God, was it good. My hands tugged on his hair, and my heels closed around his back. My body was on fire, every touch bringing newer sensations until one of the most powerful pleasures overtook me.
“Mine,” he softly whispered.”
The ending took my breath away, on top of me gasping during the whole book. Go buy this book because it will take on one hell of a wild, sexy and crazy ride.

I just finished this, like two minutes ago and I am reeling. First thing, I NEED BOOK TWO NOW!!!!! Right, now that I got that off my chest on to the review.
From the title, to the synopsis, I was excited to read this. I love dark reads and this did not disappoint. There are many times I cringed, there are many times I wanted to throw my Kindle across the room. And there are many times where I was crying because this is not an easy story to read. But after all that, it's a story I am glad to have read. If there were more stars on here, I would definitely give it more than 5.
We're introduced to Sapphire, the beauty that has become his obsession. From the first moment he laid eyes on her, she was his. Claimed, unknowingly. After one fateful night, they are separated, for reasons beyond their control. But since that night, Sapphire knew she was his, her body, her mind, her heart. Even though he left without a word.
Sociopath is known for his brutality, for the way his victims are found, he is feared by many. Only one message/email and your time is up. But isn't there always a method to the madness? For him, there is. It comes from a promise, a vow, that can never be broken.
I don't want to say much more, because you seriously need to read this to experience the emotion that flies off the pages. There is anguish, pain, horror, lust, and insanely erotic scenes, but ultimately it's a story of revenge and love.
It ends in the mother of all cliff hangers, but luckily the wait for book two is only a couple of months away. This is definitely going on my must read list!

Loved this read, it's one of those reads that leaves you wanting more and more.
Sociopath is a man that is on a mission of revenge, he sends an email to his prey letting them know that they are on Sociopaths hit list.
Sapphire is a woman that comes from the elite, being bored with the mundane life that comes with wealth she meets a man that takes her breath away. Little does she know that she is being used as a pawn in the name of revenge.
This read is dark so be warned, and can have triggers that might very well affect readers.
The end of the book had me wanting to throw my phone, as it left me wanting more. Yes there is one hell of a cliffhanger, and I for one will be stalking this author for the next book.

First time read from V.F. Mason - This was a dark read. The subject matter that the story circles around may make some people upset. Subject matter - Child trafficking. This was a revenge story for the hero. The story was suspenseful and emotional. It started out a bit slow going for the first 40 or so percent for me but started to pick up a bit after that.
I enjoyed the story but the relationship between the hero and heroine kinda lagged for me a bit. He was obsessed with her but it just didn't convince me as i wish it had. This left off on a cliffhanger so i am glad the second book is already out!

4.75 ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫
Gah, this was sooo unexpectedly good. I'm in love with Damien. What that man had to go through made me sick and I was all for him killing all those bastards. His obsession, possessiveness and protectiveness towards Saphire made me swoon. They were absolutely perfect for each other. Sex was hot af, Damien was all alpha and it had me hot & bothered. And yes the story was predictable but never in a boring way. More like you want to keep reading to learn more. I'm so ready for book 2, going right to it.
❌ BIG TW- child abuse/prostitution/trafficking/kidnapping/rape (absolutely sickening, disturbing & heartbreaking when I read the flashbacks)

This was good up to 60% for me. It kind of fell flat after that in my option. I liked the dark storyline, and the characters were ok although I didn’t feel their connect a whole lot. The second half felt somewhat rushed and a little to unrealistic about certain things.

This book took off and didn't stop. I am going to say this first...it is a dark read with flashbacks and triggers. The story of Sociopath and his brother were so so so sad and heartbreaking. Poor Sapphires world got turned upside down and then Sociopath got a hold of her. There were twist and turns that I couldn't look away from. Some parts are hard to read so know that going in and this book ends in a HUGE cliffhanger. On to the next one hopefully with all my questions answered.
