Dark Hearts: A Wickedly Dark Romance Trilogy Kindle Edition

4.2 out of 5 stars 122 ratings

WHEN THE MONSTERS CAN GET INSIDE YOUR HEAD
"Takes evil to the next level. It's the type of book that as you read it you forget to breathe."

Track a splintered path of lust, revenge, and sinister submission through three full novels: Wicked Ways, Wicked Weapon, Wicked Hunt.

Zorie is forced to succumb to men because of a weakness she never knew she had. Whatever a mesmer wants he gets. Collectable girls obey.

Except Zorie is unique and she can resist, almost …
Almost enough to break free.

Mavros believes she can become his perfect weapon, that he can use her for his deadly revenge, but she leads him to wonder what's missing from his life.

Grimm is her knight in bloody armor and the man with the deepest flaws and the most terrible secrets. Though he only wishes to have her, protect her, and love her, his obsession drags him into the abyss.

Before love will come death, despair, betrayal, and Zorie's revenge.

There is a happily ever after and romance at the end, but getting there will not be easy or painless.

REVIEWS FROM THE THREE BOOKS OF THIS SERIES
"Wow, what a dark and dirty read. I keep asking myself WTF did I just read. This has to be one of the darkest erotic books I have read to date I loved it."
- MA Austin, Alpha Book Club
"Loved this - cerebral and hot as f***. What more could you want ?"
- Nicolette Hugo, author of "Exhibition."
"Unique, scary, mesmerising, and a read I would recommend over and over again to people who love their dark reads. Be prepared to be shocked, turned on and want to do damage, be prepared for this book to take over your life till you've finished it. Yes it's that good. A six star read easily for me."
~ Michelle ~ ** The Romance Vault **
"For sensitive readers out there, this is dark erotica even darker than Cari Silverwood has ventured into before... Wicked Ways is, without a doubt, one of the more unique and intriguing erotic stories I've read in forever."
- Jennifer, Under the Covers Book Blog
"I knew it would be dark, but I didn't realize quite how sinister or how fascinating... I feel like I've had a spell cast over me. This story stayed with me long after I was finished reading it..."
- Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews
"This book takes evil to the next level. It's suspenseful,it's atmospheric, it's wonderful. It's the type of book that as you read it you forget to breath - it's so good. If you are a fan of dark erotica - you just got to read this trilogy from the Queen of para'sci-fi/BDSM."
- Paperback Dinosaur, UK Amazon reviewer
"So freaking good. This trilogy is like nothing I've ever read."
- Liz @ Fictional Candy

From the Author

A spin-off romance called
Wolfe is also available. Though it feeds from the same setting, and some depth is added by reading the other books first, it can be read alone.
If you love erotic horror, there is a spin-off novella,
Used.

    A roller coaster of a read from start to finish. Had me questioning my own sanity at times for continuing to read on. Needing to know what will happen. Finding the allure of my own mental kinks. The HEA ending just seemed right. I will say I am now addicted to this Authors writing, I am craving more of the that twisted window of darkness....

    This is definitely dark and evil and I loved it. Zoe is suffering under the control of men who are mesmers who can make her do what they want. Each have a different agenda except for Grimm. He wants Zorie because he genuinely likes her but she’s always just out of his reach. He goes to great lengths to be with her even if it’s just to watch her back and keep her safe from the mesmers. But she is then taken by a very powerful mesmer and Grimm is now part of the deal. How far will Grimm go to save her? Is he willing to forgo who he is to keep her? That’s the question and the answer is fabulous. I totally love Grimm and his dedication!

    WOW! This story was long and very intense. I had to put it down several times, hence the long time reading.
    I had read the new book, Mesmers, and the read this one. I'm glad I did.
    Macros and Grimm are both intense Alpha men but give them Mesmer powers and they are over the top with dominance.
    I highly recommend this series!

    New to the Mesmer world. Wasn't quite sure what to think about it at first, I had a hard time with the flow of the way it was written. The more I read the better it became. Over all it was a good series.

    …a very dark read. You have to be strong minded to get through it.
    The mind of an author that can create stories such as this amazes me.

    After reading this trilogy I can honestly say that Cari Silverwood is the epitome of Dark Erotica. As the story progressed, I began to feel like Alice dropped down into a twisted rabbit hole and landing in a dark perversion of Wonderland.

    Cari has created a phenomenal cast of characters and a well written unique storyline involving Mesmers that will challenge the reader in ways they couldn’t imagine. Most authors dance around the edges of dark erotica but Ms. Silverwood goes straight for the jugular and makes no apologies! That is why I am sooo addicted to her literary works and Dark Hearts is no exception. Readers will be both shocked and fascinated, unable to put the book down, as they will feel compelled to continue on out of curiosity. If I didn’t know better, I would swear that Cari is practicing some hidden Mesmer skills of her own as she weaves her erotic tales. LOL!!

    Everyone who reads this boxset will come away with different thoughts and opinions about the men in Zorie’s life. I am going to be in the minority here, but I loved Reuben’s manipulation of Zorie and the various sexual acts he made her perform. Zorie’s strength and independent nature called out to him like a moth to a flame begging to be broken. He couldn’t help himself much less walk away from the challenge she presented. Zorie's struggle against his influence is titillating, arousing, and without a doubt some of the best erotica I've ever read!!

    On the other hand, I think Mr. Black is worse than Reuben because his agenda is subtle and more devious, not in your face like Reuben. He wants to turn Zorie into a weapon, but will he be able to control her once he is done? Will there be anything left of her humanity? Mr. Black’s plans may ultimately have serious consequences for the human race, not just Zorie. His evil schemes seem far grander than those of Reuben.

    And Grimm, well I don’t think he is the knight in shining armor that we are led to believe. He may turn out to be the most evil of all. The way he always seem to be there for Zorie whenever she is in trouble. What is he really up to? He is a hard one to figure out, but there is something about him I just don’t trust.

    Dark Hearts is a very intense and intriguing piece of erotica that will stay with you long after you are finished. I recommend this box set for the mature & truly hardcore readers who aren’t squeamish about the total violation or annihilation of a person’s self for pleasure or profit. It is dark, disturbing, and loaded with kink that will curl your hair! I am sooo looking forward to Cari Silverwood's next exciting book/series

    Rape sex scenes, voyueristic and nasty. Not in a good way. Weird jump towards obsessive, though the repetitive rape continues and even weirder jump to "insta love" for the rapists in the third book.
