This story was so completely dark and sexy and utterly delicious. I loved every moment of it. It was intense and angsty, yet even had moments of humor in it. This series has to be one of my favorite dark series and it just keeps getting better and better. I loved the characters and the storyline. I can't wait for more from this author!

4.7 stars

it is official. This author is a wizzard. She made me feel for the devil incarnate, Tiago. After the last book, I didn't think that was even possible. Yet, She cast a spell and let me see about this complex man. I shouldn't be surprised considering that she was able to redeem Van but good lord this man was not a good man...or so I thought. Even in the moments when I wanted to truly hate him he still had a certain je ne sais quois charisma about him. His devotion to Boones and Arturo were also surprising but it added to his depth. Kate. That sweet girl. I liked that she never gave up and that in the end, she discovered a sense of peace that she had been long since missing.

I am getting more and more intrigued by Cole. I need to know more. I am hoping that he gets his own book. This series is definitely not for anyone that doesn't have the stomach for the darker side. Yet, even though this story delves into the darker side of things that happen in real life, the author still manages to give hope and that is part of the draw for me. It is done with a sense of authenticity.

I don’t know how @Pam Godwin does it!!! Every book has a villain but somehow she always shows us a better side of that person aomewheee! Tiago, in my opinion, was the very worst!!! Kate, even though she had been captured before, still has innocence and sweetnesses about her and I was so sure that Tiago would break her. Did he though???

Go get this book!! But if you haven’t read the other 4, you need to read those first! Because, they are standalone 0, but they build in each other!! You won’t regret reading any of them!!!

Verrrrrrry Dark. But I liked it!

Tiago was one twisted individual in Devastate. What he put Camilla, Tate and Van through was hard to read. 

But somehow, Pam Godwin's amazing writing, character development and growth made me root for a deranged serial kidnapper and murder. 

Kate was an amazingly resilient and compassionate woman. She had strength and courage to survive her captivity and Tiago.

It looses 1/4 of a star because I missed Van. But honestly this series gets better better

Ok, and I thought Van had a lot of red flags…how about we take the most despicable character from the last book, and make him the romantic lead in this one? Only if Pam Godwin writes it! 😂

I feel the need to reiterate that these books are SUPER dark. And not just for what the victims go through, but some of these characters were the baddies doing very bad things! 😳 

And then Pam gets a hold of them and 😮‍💨, you see them in a whole new light.

I was so intrigued by Tiago in the last book, and finally we get to see why he is the way he is.

But Kate! I loved her! She is so strong, at such a young age, after going through everything she has gone through. And she managed to keep her strength throughout this book, and she may be one of my favorite FMCs of this series so far. (Never back down Kate!)

What this book is giving:
✅ Dark Romance
✅ Dual POV/narration
✅ Captor/Captive
✅ The most red flags ever for an MMC?
✅ Didn’t see that connection coming!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½ /5

Kate and Tiago, oh my gosh, swoon! Such a volatile and over the top relationship they have!
Their story is the epitome of opposites attract and 2 people colliding!
Kate gets kidnapped.....AGAIN! and she tries to fight so hard against her kidnapper. She had figured out who had taken her almost immediately and screamed his name over and over to come and face her. But Tiago was healing from what Lucia did to him.
Will Tiago finally find love? Will Kate finally submit to Tiago on his terms?
These Deliver stories are so captivating, the reader can't put them down. I just love how they weave through time, and the characters from the book 1 of Deliver come together in each book as the Freedom Fighters they are.

I suppose the easiest thing to do with all these thoughts swirling in my head is to start at the beginning. Once upon a time, Pam Godwin decided to kidnap people and make us fall for their captors. She made it a conflicting kind of love. And so here we are about to embark on book 5 of the Deliver series. I can honestly say I'm surprised and appalled we are here. I thought that 5 was going to be Cole's story...But no. Pam, ever the sadist, is going to make us scratch and itch for it, make us plead and beg. Just before we throw in the towel she will dangle him in our faces. SIGH. It's severely twisted that we, the readers, at this point have been trained to thank her for it!

Thank you Pam for a dark world and the twisted love that feeds it.

I need to say that the cover of this book is both provocative and deceptively tame. The wildfire and strength in her eyes isn't noticed upon first glance but you are blind to miss it on the second.

Take is a special circle of hell. It's everything you didn't realize you wanted out of this book. When we finished Devestate, I foolishly looked for the end of Tiago. I didn't want that man to be the next star in the dark world Pam created. I had no idea I needed him to be next.

Take is a new level of dark. It's a new level of twisted. It is everything people tell you to avoid. But worst of all, it's impossible to resist!

Take me. Love me. And spit me out. I will line up for more. I'm already anxiously awaiting Martin, Ricky, and HER.
