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.

This was the continuation and conclusion to the story that began back in Sociopath’s Obsession.
So when we left things and after that shocking conclusion, Sapphire was alone pregnant and heartbroken with some big decisions to make regarding the future ahead.
But things aren’t quite what they seem on the surface and there's still so much more to come.
There are some big surprises for both Sapphire and Damien as the past meets the present in dramatic fashion.
There are also new players added to the mix and this one was really explosive.

This was set five years after the first book and I wasn’t actually a fan of the big time-lapse or the inclusion of Rose.
Though I’m sure I will take to her more when I get to experience her story next, here she did irritate me slightly.
I just found her annoying overall especially when she was acting all team, Damien, like she was the only one that cared about him and lecturing Sapphire on how she treated him.
It just got my back up slightly the way she was warning Sapphire off and I thought she needed to but out.
I have a low tolerance for take over toms and she smacked of this.

I also thought Damien should have pre-warned Sapphire about Rose I can't believe he didn't even mention he was living with a woman that was never going to go down well when just dumped on someone you'd think he'd give the love of his life a heads-up so she doesn't jump to conclusions.
Despite the above, I still enjoyed this one a lot and definitely recommend.
This really was a gripping series that I enjoyed massively.

I've fallen down a rabbit hole, because now I need to move on to the Pakhan Duet to get Dominic and Rosa's story. (lol) Someone needs to smack me for not reading this duet before. I loved this book just as much as book one. And yes, again I was heartbroken reading what happened to their parents (and Damian and Dominic)...sniff.

I really enjoyed this second opus of the Sociopath Duet. Sapphire and Damian's story was great and I liked that both characters are coming to terms with their flaws and strengths. Although the story is dark and disturbing at times, I have to say that V.F. Mason's writing skill handled this part beautifully and gave a good insight into the minds of the main characters. Damian and Dominic his twin, have been through hell and back, horrible things in their past that make them who they are today. I loved that the other characters came out and a bit was told about them and I can't wait to read Dominic and Rosa's story.

“I’m sorry, baby girl,” I whispered. “Daddy is so sorry.”



Sociopath's Revenge starts right where book 1 stops. It delves further into Damian & Sapphire's relationship and the people around them. Sociopath's is not finished with his hunt for justice and gets help from a very unexpected side.

There are quite a number of different characters and we get POV's from the majority of them. They all jump a lot between now and then, which gave us a good understanding of the past and events that let all of them to their current actions. It's a bit cause for a whiplash but clearly define and, as such, easy to follow.

After five years of separation Damian & Sapphire try to reconcile with a lot of dominant persuasion from Damian.



"Six years. Two thousand one hundred ninety-one days. Not once did the thought of another woman enter my mind. I'm yours."

The story of the twins gets a nice wrapped up, although I would have like them to have finished the last bit. It ends with a surprise that probably have you smiling and astonished.

I am looking forward to the story of

This book is part of a series and must be read in order:

This review is for both books. Sociopath's Obsession & Sociopath's Revenge.

I'm fully invested in V.F. Mason words. This was my second time reading this duet and I can say that I enjoyed it as much as I did the first time. There's just something so addictive about D and his obsessive ways that I couldn't help but fall in love with.

The plot is a little bit irrational, but we are talking about fiction here, right? So I think it was ok. In the end, what really matters is whether you enjoyed the story or not. And let me tell you, this one was oh-so-enjoyable.

My favorite book of this duet was definitely Sociopath's Revenge. I think it was because of Kristina, I really liked her character and this is the book where they finally got their well deserved HEA, so that's that.

If you're looking for a dark-ish reading with an obsessive hero, give this duet a chance.

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

He even stalk her a bit because thats how much he really loves and likes the heroine. Not in a weird or uncomfortable way!!!! So don’t worry :)


‼️‼️‼️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 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.”


‼️‼️‼️NO MANY PUSHING AWAY FROM THE HEROINE. NOT TOO MANY THO. LIKE TWO TIMES. THE HERO NEVER PUSH THE HEROINE AWAY.

neveeeerrrr.....


‼️‼️‼️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!!!!

[Kelly · Rating 2 out of 5]

I didn't like this as much as the previous book in this series. Lots more POV and it seemed to hit a lot of my pet peeves in romance books.

- It took him (Damian the hero of the book) 5 F'ing years to get back to the heroine (Sapphire)? I figured at least Sapphire would be dating someone or something for as young as she is. I hate time gaps.
-Dominic not even telling his brother he is alive? And his unrealistic obsession with Rosa because he saw a picture of her? I have no problem most times with insta-love. But here it felt not right at all for me. I just wasn't buying it.
-Rosa... i could not stand her at all in this book. She screamed immature, she may be 22 or whatever but in the book she reminded me of a 14 year old maybe? I could not stand the fact she was always saying "are you going to have sex?" "I want to get laid" Good god go away!

No I probably will not read the other series with Rosa and Dominic.

An awful follow-up

I was so in love with the first book. Unfortunately, this one had serious issues. There was no reason that Connor should not have told Sapphire that Damien was alive. She was pregnant with his child and heartbroken from his death. She is already in witness protection. What would have happened if she had met someone else, even if it wasn't the same kind of love? There was just so much wrong with that. Then after Damien finds her he waits for a year saying it's to be sure she was safe????? Yeah, that makes no sense at all. Then we have Connor and Dominic keeping his existence from Damien. Ummm, why? Yes, I read the flimsy excuse they provided, which was complete b.s. They were twins and Damien was carrying around tremendous amounts of pain and guilt over not being able to save his brother. So in what world is it better this way? It's okay to tell the twin all about Damien, but Damien doesn't have the right to know his twin is alive? Urghhhh. All these plots were just done so badly.

My next huge issue is the way she jumps back and forth in the book past to present to different people doing past and present, but only gives you a tiny part of the story at a time. It was completely unnecessary in the first book and after wading through it again in this book, I wanted to scream in frustration. This badly done technique breaks up the flow of the story and can get confusing. I hated it. So I don't reveal any spoilers, let's take the first book for instance. It took most of the book to tell the tale of what happened the night of the party. Why? The two girls had already been on their own for a year. Why not give us that full night story at one time to bring the reader up to date on what happened that night and then let the story flow. Same with his past. The way she just took a tiny incomplete piece of the past and interrupted the current story with it was just maddening and completely unnecessary. She did it here again, but even worse. This author needs to learn to cover background properly and move on. Don't interrupt the flow and chop up the story past or present with only pieces. It doesn't create the suspense she thinks it does. Also needs to insure the plots are realistic with darn good explanations for things that need them; like the choice to keep all those secrets and stay apart a year after he found her. 5 years was just too long to keep them apart. I could see during the time he healed, but she should have been informed the moment Connor knew Damien was alive. The author could have done so much with a more honest storyline and actually gave us some time seeing them grow as a family into deep real love instead of all this lets screw for a day then gotta leave the next day for the bad guys. We weren't given time to fall back in love with them as a couple or family.

Next a subplot is that the Don hasn't lost a game of poker in 20 years! Unless the dude is cheating, that won't happen. Even the best poker players in the world lose hands, quite frequently even. You have no control of the cards you are dealt. There is strategy, but just as much luck is involved. So yeah, that was stupid.

Don't even get me started on the big confrontation that was teased in the beginning. So many issues with that. No FBI agent would ever use a witness protected family as bait, especially to the point of being kidnapped because you lose all control of a situation once they have their hands on them. In real life Damien and Sapphire would have been murdered immediately, not beaten and left for dead. Seriously, you expect ane to buy that? Then S and Richard didn't recognize that Damien was the twin, which again would have been an immediate kill and freak out. And then we find out Damien met S at that party but didn't recognize him because you know the 7 years the guy tortured him he kept his eyes closed! Such b.s. So why not capture the two guys the minute they provided the info to Dominic? Why wait for them to kidnap the girls and confront Damien? Why give the S the chance to tell others that Damien is Sociopath? Why show up so late that the family could have been killed many times over? No FBI would ever have done that.

So, yeah, this was an awful follow-up to such a good first book. I think I'm going to pass on this authors future works. This one was just that bad.

La historia de Sapphire y Damian no tiene final. Ahora que Sapphire se ha creado una nueva vida, lejos de todo, intentando recuperarse de todo lo que cree haber perdido, piensa que tantos años después debería haber seguido adelante. Pero no puede. No puede olvidar al hombre que ama, y no cree poder hacerlo nunca. Hasta que aparece en su puerta.
Damian ha luchado a través del dolor, del tiempo y de los impedimentos, todo por Sapphire así que el "NO" no existe en su vocabulario. Éll todavía tiene una misión, pero ahora tiene que pensar más allá de sí mismo...

Este libro es un cambio total de ambiente comparado con el primero. El primero era todo paranoia, sospecha, pena, dolor, un poquito de asco y repelus. El final fue sorprendente, eso sin duda, pero este libro es como un bálsamo para calmarte. Aquí encuentras a un Damian más "normal" dentro de lo que él puede ser normal. Te encuentras situaciones románticas, divertidas e incluso puede que algunas que te hagan llorar de emoción. Aunque el primer libro es de 10 porque tiene una manera de mantenerte en vilo sin predecir nada hasta el final, este para mí fue lo que esperaba del primero en algún punto. Me encantó de principio a fin y juro que estuve a punto de darle menos nota a este libro porque pensé que iba a quedarme sin historia de Dominic y Rosa pero investigué y tienen su historia!!!!!! Yaaaayyyy!

Recomiendo estos libros porque realmente la manera de escribir del autor/a (aún no he investigado si es chico o chica jajaja) es buenísima. Suelo ser bastante avispada y veo por dónde van las historias pero con estos no he podido!

Sociopath’s Revenge was a great 5 star read.

This is the continuation of Sapphire and Sociopath’s story and I LOVED it.
We jump ahead 5 years to Sapphire living with her daughter in the witness protection program in North Carolina. She has made a life for them but Sociopath is never far from her memory. Until one day she gets the surprise of her life, Damien on her doorstep and he’s hotter than ever.

Damien has come to claim his family and get revenge. Dominic also joins in the search for S but he needs to find one other person first.

I hope you are ready to see me, brother. We’ll get our revenge. But before that, I need to find my girl.

This very dark story takes you on quite the intense journey of Suspense and Violence. You will be blindsided because when you think you have things figured out, you are wrong. And the sex is off the charts hot. The secondary characters really added a great element to the story. I am sad to see the end of Sapphire and Damien’s story but am looking forward to see what is coming next. There is no cliffhanger. V.F. Mason has once again pulled me into her world and I couldn’t stop reading. “NOTE: You will need to read Sociopath’s Obsession before this one to understand everything.

No Rating... I didn't quite DNF but I got bored at 44% and skipped to the end.

The warning from book one still stands. Lots of references to the abuse suffered by Damian and his brother.

In this book Damian wasn't a sociopath, he was just a self involved dope. Honestly, the only crazy people in this book were the villains (emotionless, homicidal child rapists* are like that). Sapphire was right when he first showed up but let everyone convince her she was crazy to not fall at his feet 24hrs after finding out he was alive.

Anyone who has ever met a 4 or 5 year old will laugh at how poorly Kristina is written. Rosa was annoying. Her love interest was a one note ho.

The epilogue was a teen soap opera narrated by Damian.




*No children are abused in this book, just graphic references to Damian's past.

Have you ever read a book so good that you dreaded reaching the end? My exact feeling regarding this book! I walked away several times if only to prolong the inevitable.

Barely recovering from the "ERMAGAD" prologue in book one- Sociopath Obsession, the author kicked book two into high gear with the drama! Book two-Sociopath Revenge, resumes beautifully with the drama and passion! Without spoiling this story, I can only say this story absolutely ROCK! From the drama, to revenge, to renewing old relationships, this story has it all!

This story detail very dark subjects that may not be suitable for everyone. Indulge with caution!

Five deliciously dark stars!

The first book was better. I didn't like the Sociopath was loosing his edge and the twin that now is head of the Russian mafia is a bit far fetched in my opinion. I will read the next the book with hopes that the story picks up.

[Joyffree · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the conclusion of the Sociopath duet
We pick up a few years later, but don't worry we do a little back and forth time travel by way of memories, so nothing is missed.
Sapphire and her daughter have settled into a new life, new identities. They are safe and have a chance at a solid future. But for Sapphire, it is without the one man who completed her.

Damian is battling with his inner Sociopath and not everything is going his way.
The injuries he sustained from the shooting were pretty severe and proper help didn't find him for quite a while- sooo not telling.
Conrad knows where his Sapphire is but refuses to endanger them by revealing their whereabouts to Damian.
When he finally is offered the chance to see his Sapphire, to hold her once again, to meet his little girl, he finds himself unsure for the first time in a long time.
Love isn't always enough and reclaiming his Sapphire and uniting with his child may not be on the cards for him.

We get to meet some new characters that IMO are a fabulous addition to our merrily psychotic cast.
Past sins are revealed
Plots become even more twisted
Those we thought lost, return - and not all are welcome back.
Things get dangerously out of control for Damian and Sapphire

I really enjoyed how the loose ends came together.
The story line was easy to follow and I enjoyed that we got Dom's POV as well as some of the other major players.
Yes, there are multi-POV and it works!
I'm looking forward to reading Dom's story next
