Blackstone<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I purchased the audio and paperback of this book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I bought this paperback a year ago??&nbsp; Like right when it came out.&nbsp; I like dark books but I gotta work my way up to reading them.&nbsp; I know I am weird.&nbsp; ANYWAY!&nbsp; I finally decided this was the time.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;I saw the audio was available and since it was 5 hours that would only take me a day to read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I want to start out by saying the narration was not my favorite.&nbsp; I would have loved to have a female voice it AKA Dolly vs having a man AKA Ken Doll voice the story.&nbsp; I also didn\u2019t get drawn into the story with Michele voicing the characters and the story either.&nbsp; I pushed through because I wanted the story. The story was where it was at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ok yall.&nbsp; This book is a little slower to start but I wanna say PAY ATTENTION to the beginning 10-11 chapters because once we hit chapter 12-13, ITS GO TIME!!! I was there for it.&nbsp; Dolly and Ken Doll are trapped and being abused by 2 horrible humans but why???&nbsp; WELL, we soon discover why when they get free and go on their bloody revenge tour.&nbsp; I was there for that as well.&nbsp; The stuff we learn in each chapter had me saying YOOOOOO WHAT.&nbsp; And also, a big GASP with \u201cI did Not see that coming!!\u201d&nbsp; I mean I knew stuff would be flying outta closets but it got me good with the twists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The story of Dolly\/Abigail and Ken Doll\/Brian was a good one.&nbsp; The relationship between the 2 characters was sweet and loving one minute while total Bonnie and Clyde murders the next!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Measha Stone is a USA Today bestselling romance author with a deep love for romantic stories, specifically those involving the darker side of romance, all the possessive dominant heroes, and their feisty heroines.
