Marek (Prisoners of Purgatory MC) Kindle Edition
My name is Ellie.
Ellie Mae, if you will.
Before you ask, no, it’s not a cruel joke.
My parents thought the name suited me and, well, here we are.
That’s the mildest part of my story, though.
Oh, hell, it doesn’t even scratch the surface.
I’m a dancer, and a good one at that.
I have a fiancé—one my parents picked out just for me—and a blossoming career.
Everything was going well, until I caught the eye of the wrong man.
He saw something in me … something the rest of the world was overlooking.
A talent that runs deeper than the surface.
He wants to make me a star, only his show isn’t the kind you dream of.
It’s dark, twisted, and dangerous.
A world you could never begin to imagine.
Like a thief in the night, he takes me from everything I love.
He won’t let me go, not until I do the very thing he captured me for …
Dance.
Dance for a monster, live in a cage, be the perfect little puppet.
There is just one problem with that plan.
He has no idea who he is messing with.
But I can assure you, he’s about to find out.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2025I don't know how you made me cheer for such a deplorable character but WOW! Loved Marek's story...hoping you consider continuing this spin off!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2024This story is meant to be read after reading the Prisoners of Purgatory MC series ~ trust me, you'll definitely want to start from the beginning.
I have to admit that I was extremely skeptical about Marek, and wasn't sure that he had any redeeming qualities. I should have known that this incredible author wouldn't dare leave the series or his story without plenty of drama, angst, suspense, and a bad azz girl who would turn his life upside down. It's certainly epic!
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and outstanding author.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2024thank you to Bella Jewel & Valentine PR for sending me this ARC!
oh my goodness. i really wasn’t anticipating to like this as much as i did. i always have hit or miss feelings with dark romances and this one was WILD considering its rather short.
there was so much back & forth between marek & ellie mae throughout the whole read. marek was DARK & i hated him most of the time for not being able to face his feelings head-on & constantly running away. he was consistent in his character through and through
ellie mae was complicated. she was content in her previous life, but never TRULY happy - only making choices in her life that made others happy. when marek kidnaps her from her life, ellie has to figure out what makes him tick to hopefully escape.
but what happens when she cant help being attracted to this hot yet dangerous kidnapper?
i finished this in one sitting: its short, but packed with SO MUCH
- Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2024This book by Bella Jewel was a dark and exciting book, it took me about 2 chapters to really get into it but is was super good. Hope you take the time to purchase and read it. You will not regret it.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2024I didn’t know what to expect when going into this book and I was truly surprised. The story was dark and twisted and it had my emotions swirling. The MMC is damaged and fighting a dark past. The FMC would rather live a life she was forced into than go back home to a fiancé and life she doesn’t want. There is one specific scene that took away from the plot for me and changed my overall feelings for the book. I did really enjoy the story and I thought the characters had great depth and their histories really added to their story. The drama was crazy and the story intense. A great read if you love dark romance.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2024Can I just say HOLY F'ING HELL!! What an absolute rollercoaster! Dark, twisted yet oddly sweet! Bella Jewel you rocked my world in a way I never expected and I loved it!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2024Bella Jewel did it again. This book is picks up where Fury ends. Ellie and Marek on on the run after a new article drops. This book is not what I thought it was going to be for sure. I hated Marek in Fury, hate so bad you get all Harry potter death spells ready just cause he's so evil. Then you have Ellie who reminds me of Emerson sharp <Savage vandlesby Heather long>. Ellie is amazing. I loved her strength and her determination. She has this desire to dance her own way and she's going to find a way to do it no matter the cost.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2024BOOK REVIEW: Marek by Bella Jewel
Marek is a novella, and continues the Prisoners of Purgatory MC series. I would recommend reading the series in order, beginning with “Nightmare”, in order to understand the characters better. However, this is not required and can be read as a standalone.
"I don’t make you weak Marek, I just make the darkest sides of you, a little lighter.”
Ella or Ella Mae (a.k.a. Dolly) is our FMC that has devoted her life to dance and is currently engaged to Carter. However, Ella is constantly berated and scolded by her teachers anytime she infuses her own ideas in the dance she is supposed to perform. Right after her most recent performance, Ella and her best friend go out to celebrate with drinks and while at the bar, she meets an enigmatic man with a Russian accent named Marek. With her head spinning, she realizes she’s been drugged and wakes up with the grass under her feet but surrounded by a metal cage. Taking a closer look at her surroundings, Ella observes at least 20 girls in similar cages all under a big circus tent. But instead of animals in the cages, it’s women. Now we finally meet our MMC, Marek, and he is known for his impressive shows that feature women flying through the air and twirling on ribbons. Marek, is the strong, demanding alpha-type male that always gets exactly what he wants. And what he wants if for Ella to be the new feature of his how, to which she forcefully refuses.
The story follows along the journey and dynamics of Ella and Marek’s push and pull relationship. While Ella is engaged, she can’t but feel a strong pull towards Marek even if he is monster. Ella describes this attraction to Marek as a wildness inside her, similar to the way she wants to break free and dance her way. But we also go on the journey with Marek as he slowly opens up to Ella and exposes his inner demons and struggles. The passion and chemistry between our main characters is steamy enough to make you breathless, and you’ll likely re-read a few chapters because the scenes are just that good.
This book has an edgy, raw feeling to it with undercurrents of darker themes, so read your trigger warnings beforehand. Overall, I highly recommend this book for a great, spicy quick read and look forward to more of the Prisoners of Purgatory MC series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dark Circus Romance
I loved Marek & Ellie's story. Bella keeps you turning the pages with everything. Ellie is kidnapped by Marek but pushes him to his limits as she is attracted to Marek, and she knows he is to her. She keeps pushing him, and he keeps pushing her away, but she won't take no for an answer.
You will enjoy this book if you love a dark circus romance with twists and turns you don't see coming. Some of the Prisoners of Purgatory MC members make a few appearances in the story. This book may not be for everybody therefore, heed the author's warnings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chilling in the best way possible
I absolutely loved reading Marek and Ellie's story! I read it cover to cover in 5 hours, and couldn't put it down. As per Bella Jewel's writing style, you are transferred into their world and this book was twisted and cruel in the best way (if that's even possible). Loved seeing some of our favourite characters return, and I'll be counting down until my favourite authors next book!! Highly recommended!
