Ratings and reviews

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Sophia is still living in her family home. The house next door still stands empty. Twenty years ago the little girl who lived next door was killed and the family moved away. No one goes in that house, except today she sees a man exiting the house, he looks creepy and dangerous, so she quickly looks away and goes inside her own house. Later that night she's sleeping and swears she hears a noise. She can't find her phone and she hears the noise again. She quickly jams a chair under the door handle to her bedroom and goes to sit back on her bed. When she reaches for the light on her night stand she brushes up against someone else's arm. When she goes to scream he puts his hand over her mouth and says if she wants to stay alive she won't scream. She realizes it's the creepy guy she saw exiting the house next door. She's thrown in a van and then gets knocked out, when she wakes up she is strapped to a chair that is bolted to the floor in front of a cell that contains a dark shadowy figure. Grab Deep into the Darkness to find out who kidnapped Sophia, who the man in the cell is and what happens when she finds out why she's been kidnapped. This is a quick, dark read. Loved it and couldn't put it down once I started.

This dark and twisted tale comes with a warning in the blurb, and it is definitely necessary. In most cases, I would've preferred a longer story for development, but the author does an excellent job of conveying the horrors inflicted on Rock and Sophia and the emotional turmoil of the story. It is an extremely disturbing tale and I was riveted from the very first page. As the story progressed and got darker and more twisted, I absolutely had to know how it would all play out. As tragic as much of this one is, I found myself doubting any romance would come to fruition, but Lucy Wild does dark romance like few others, and pulled it off masterfully.

I've really come to enjoy Lucy Wild's Quickies, and this was no exception. In fact, I liked this one the best. She's a master of the darkness, of making the villains seem particularly villainous, the broken heroes broken in a way that we want to redeem them, and the heroines strong enough that they aren't really victims. She did all that very well in this book, and made me almost wish she'd turned it into a full-length novel. I definitely recommend this to lovers of dark romance.
