Mad it is! Gloriously mad!
Words can't begin to describe this book. Once you start, you can stop reading. You touch feelings inside you, you didn't even know existed! It will shacked you, it will change you. The fairness of the description brings the graphics of the story to another dimension. The story and its twits will keep you hanging but mostly, it will make you feel, questionne, understand things you never though you could. Not only Alaska does it again, she left me hanging for the next chapter. Darkness never been so beautiful in its own way!

had me on the edge of my seat the entire time!
This book was so good I devoured it within a few days. Anna’s story was crazy nuts and I enjoyed every bit of it. Can’t wait for the next book. As always check your trigger warning.

And I thought Bostons’s story was pitch black!
This is the story of Anna Monroe, her dark past, and her struggle with her demons as she falls in love with a detective who is on the hunt for a serial killer. The twist is that the serial killer is looking for Anna in his victims and won't stop until he gets her.I thought Boston's story was nuts in Never Far, but if Anna's story is any indication of A.A. Dark's writing abilities..then it may be safe to say that she'll probably one-up herself with each story in this series!Every CW under the sun..I went in blind (after having read Never Far), so I just expected a pitch black horror story with erotic elements and a romantic sub-plot, and the author delivered! I highly recommend for fans of erotic horror, but don't read this expecting a dark romance story because it is much more than that. On to the Boston-Anna crossover!

Sick monster
Mad Girl is about Anna Monroe who is torn between the Christian woman she was raised to become and the monster her mother transformed her into. Detective Braden Casey is a detective who is torn between his sense of duty and his love for a killer. Although, he has no idea that the woman he’s in love with is a killer and whose mother was the Madison Ridge Killer.Anna allowed herself to get close to God never allowing herself to fall into the traps of love. She thought her faith in Hod would protect her from her urges. She had no idea the dangers that threatened her life because of her childhood. Anna is the key to figuring out who the recent serial killer is.I’m drawn to dark reads and remembered reading Blake by Alaska Angelini back in 2014. This cover was so eye catching I couldn’t resist the purchase. However, I’m disappointed with the writing style of this book. It’s not measuring up. I’m finding the writing voice just doesn’t appeal to me. It’s missing that dialogue driven originality that propels a story forward. I’m just going thru the motions of reading not really caring one way or another what happens.Heed the warnings for this is a gruesome violent story. It’s sickly graphic with grotesque scenes. Just as Alaska warned it is a pitch black genre of murder. This killer tortures his victims, raping them, and mutilating the bodies. Every single action is described in graphic detail. It’s cringe worthy. Those scenes are extremely difficult to read. I was repulsed by these scenes but it was the manner in which they were written that gave me pause. It all goes back to the writing style. Alaska’s writing doesn’t move me. I’m not propelled to move forward. Sadly, I’m skimming through this book in hopes that something will stop me from skimming. Just an FYI those grueling chapters are labeled “no one” so if you wanted to skip over the graphic details you could. I heeded the warnings and proceeded to read thru these grueling scenes. They were grotesque but not enough to scare me off or rate down because of them. What had me rating down was the way she voiced the acts itself. I tried to imagine Saw the movie and how cringe worthy some of those scenes were, yet I was glued to the screen. That’s what’s missing, the words used to draw me closer. Rather than be repulsed I was curious.I liked that Alaska didn’t back down from the violence. She tipped over the edge and plunged deep. Most writers venture to the edge teasing for danger but not delivering. Alaska isn’t afraid to plunge into the darkness.There’s a second book in the Chronicles of Anna Monroe. It’s considered a standalone. But it’s recommended that you read Mad Girl before reading Mastermind.
