Wow! I can’t believe that it is finally over! I am so happy Rafe and Alex finally get their happily ever after. The journey there was scary and screwed up. There were a lot of bumps and bruises but wow! Just wow! If you like dark then this series is for you! Amazingly done!

The conclusion to their long and suffering story. (You definitely need to read the previous books to follow along.) SPOILER ALERT if you aren't caught up with the series: The previous book (Deviant) left us hanging the morning after Alex and Rafe's wedding. It should have been a happy time for the two who have already had so much destruction in their lives. But nothing seems to go as planned for the couple. Rafe is missing and Alex is imprisoned once again... in her own home. Alex is going to find out how strong she actually is. With Zach in the picture again, she's starting to crumble. Hanging by a thread. Still as dark as ever, and filled with evil. But since this is the grand finale, it has a different ending that even surprises the couple. While there is the violence that you may be familiar with, there is also a sense of relief. (Of course that could be because we know it's the end.) Same characters you loathe as well as those you love. (Though the hatred runs deep and plenty and far outweighs the love.) It is a well written story and keeps you intrigued and sitting on the edge of your seat. It goes without saying that due to the subject matter and sexual content, this is intended for mature readers.

Return of the step-brother was unnecessary. Felt like reading a previous book all over again.

This book!!!! AH!!! We were warned about dark themes, and boy did it go there. I certainly didn’t expect it to start of the first page. Alex locked herself up trying to get away from Zach who is set on stealing her back. Rafe finds himself stuck back into a situation where he has to fight to save himself and his son. Needless to say this book had me holding my breath, and praying for everything to work out. 😉 I loved that all in all they needed one another, and fought to get back to each other!

We did it. We said the vows, dressed for the occasion, dared to believe in Happily Ever After.
Alex Mason. It has a nice ring to it, the promise of forever. Until I awake the morning after to an empty bed and my worst nightmare waiting to strike.
Rafe is gone, but his twisted desires leave me with the chance for survival. He rebuilt this cabin for us, down to the prison in the wine cellar. Locking myself inside is my only defense against the madman determined to take me away from him forever.
But time is running out. I have a secret growing inside me, and I’ll do whatever it takes to protect it.

Like most of you twisted and devious fans of [a:Gemma James|6644836|Gemma James|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1538027932p2/6644836.jpg], I COULD NOT WAIT for the conclusion of this story… and yet, now I’m super depressed its over. I almost didn’t want to start it because I knew I wouldn’t put it down and it would be over too quick… and that’s exactly what happened! I went in still anxious from the cliff hanger of the previous book… with the same energy one would have checking to see if the spider is really dead under the shoe, I flipped the pages. Utterly exhausted, and more pleased with this ending than I could have imagined, I am ready to say goodbye to Rafe and Alex. (Especially knowing I will come back and read the entire series again one day — its one of the best out there!)
SPOILERS!!!
Let’s get into it… I don’t have anything to say in the dislike category about how Gemma wrapped up this story. I felt it was short and sweet but gave me all the action and drama I was hoping for in the conclusion. Although very sad about the miscarriage, I think everything worked out as best it could given the lives these two lead. The whole time Zach was in control I was so worried that Rafe wouldn’t reunite with Alex until the very end of the book and I would be sad and wanting more. Of course I want more, but I was very pleased with the reunion and how things evolved.
I think I will leave this review (like the book) ‘short and sweet’ because I am still reeling from finishing it not 10 minutes ago. Bottom line, read this series and immerse yourself in the highly addicting disfunction that is the [b:Condemned Series: Books 1-4|39298347|Condemned Series Books 1-4|Gemma James|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1521221517s/39298347.jpg|48126616]. These books introduced me to dark erotica… a genre I wasn’t even sure I’d be into. Coming from my love of PNR, I didn’t think this would hold my interest but now it is one of the few stories I hold up to compare to others.
Thank you, [a:Gemma James|6644836|Gemma James|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1538027932p2/6644836.jpg] for this wonderful and thrilling experience… This epic love story was amazing and will continue to haunt me.
