Wicked Games

Dark Obsession, Book 1

By: Zoe Blake

Narrated by: Will Thorne, Alyssa Avery

She's caught in my game... she just doesn't know it.

For weeks, I've been watching her. Stalking her. Now, it's time to start playing with my beautiful little pawn.

From the moment I first saw her from afar, I knew she would become my prized possession. I will gaslight her into thinking she is my obedient ward, trapped in the Victorian era.

She is my unwilling captive, forced to play my sadistic game for her own survival. She will have no choice but to bow to my rules and discipline.

In time, her memories of a modern life will fade. If not, she will pay a painful price.

Her pretty mind is so caught up in my nightmare, she will never escape me.

The most wicked deception of all? This isn't the first time we're playing this game.

Wicked Games contains content intended for mature listeners, including spankings, rough sexual scenes, intense and humiliating punishments, and strong D/s themes. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book.

HOLY HELL!!

Talk about book whiplash! Will Thorne & Alyssa Avery killed it with the narrating. This is a must read book!

Not for the easily offended

Ive had to wait a few days to write the review on this one cause my mind was all over the place. In the end.... This book falls into my favorites list. This is not a safe love story, its not for someone looking for a fun story. Its twisted, its manipulative and hot as sin!! The sexual scenes are awesome, the story is so different that its awesome! Wil the bad guy win??

Wicked games

I read this back when it was called ward and loved it, I’ve read a few times now and was excited when I saw on audio. I think it’s definitely gonna be too dark for some ppl but this was one of my first books in dark romance, and it totally opened me up. I would recommend for any that like the darker side of romance for sure

Twisted and dark

This had the hair on the back of my neck raised it was so shocking. I love Zoe Blake and while this story is dark and disturbing I can’t wait to start the next book…

Extremely sick

This is not for the faint of mind or heart
Extremely dark and twisted Stockholm syndrome story

Incredible

This story is disturbing, shocking, and breathtaking. It's like nothing I've encountered. It kept me on the edge the entire time. My first book by this author. It will definitely not be the last!
The performances were outstanding.

Dual narrations

I loved how far Richard would go to have Elizabeth. He was so OTT possessive. I didn’t like some of the ways he “punished” Elizabeth.

What a Mind F

I’m not even sure how to write the review. It was a mind f* of a book. It is psychological, she doesn’t know what is real and what isn’t. Her body and mind play tricks on her.

Richard is obsessive, mean, and cruel. But when Lizzy is in her Victorian mindset, they get along well. Cutely, even. But when she remembers Lizzy and her life, I rooted for her to escape.

Extra Dark with a Side of Darkness

Full disclosure, I've already read the series, so I knew what I was getting into. The narration brings Wicked Games to a new level. This is definitely the darker side of Zoe Blake. Zoe has again created a whole colorful world that is suspenseful and sometimes straight-up disturbing. It's dark grey and edgy and gothicy, and I think I mentioned - DARK. Will Thorne voices the stalker, possessive, bat-sh@t crazy Richard with perfection. Alyssa Avery's melodic voice brings Lizzy's vulnerability, confusion, and strength to life. Dual narration can be iffy for me, but Alyssa's male voice is on point, and Will avoids over-doing the female which is what normally makes me stop listening. These two narrators have me anxious to start book 2. The only criticism I have is that Richard and Lizzie's books should have been one or maybe two books. I think book 1 gets so dark at times it scares some readers/listeners from continuing through the series. I feel bad for those folks because Roman and Aurora are coming, and they are all kinds of fun. The payoff is there - keep going!

Be warned, it’s dark, it’s not real.

I read a lot of reviews that didn’t like this book at all but I just had to see what all the fuss was about. Since I was expecting it to be a dark, I was still not expecting the ending but if you like the dominant, controlling, obsessed billionaire that gets what he wants, even if it is kidnapping and painful kinky sex scenes then you will like this book.
