"This is Chateau Dahlia. A sanctuary for the twisted and depraved.”
.. This book. Natalie Bennett has an insane imagination when it comes to creative ways on killing off characters
Chateau Dahlia is a sanctuary for people to release their most darkest desires. You are allowed to create the most of vile and disgusting dreams or nightmares that you wish. Real live snuff films.
Enter Julian Andreou.
Our Villian.
Our wet dream.
“They weren’t a mafia family, and I wouldn’t consider them a branch organized crime. They were rumored to have a madness that ran in their blood.”
His family is.. different.
But then we meet Morgana. Who has her own inner demons. She is trying to figure out what happened to her sister Penny who disappeared while also dealing with her own mental health.
She gets tied up with having dinner with Julian. And he sinks his claws and teeth, and I mean physically, into Morgana so quickly that her every breath, he owns.
The more she learns about him and her own family, she unravels. Not knowing what’s real or what’s not, and not understanding Julians mental games he enjoys playing… she does end up running away.
“Keep running if you want to; I have good stamina. What you should worry about is what happens when I catch you.“
❌I’m just gonna throw it out there, if you have any triggers, this book isn’t for you. Snuff films are being made so there’s tons of torture and murder. Self harm, blood play, knife play, dubANDnon/con.. etc.
In true Natalie Bennett style, there is definitely a lot of mindfucking and mind bending.
“Did I willingly stay with a man who’s demons lurked in his eyes, or did I run away in the hope that he wouldn’t make good on his promise to catch me? “
I found the sex scenes to be somewhat graphic in detail. Definitely spicy. Morgana does end up covered in bites and bruises and in pain to even walk a lot. This is not a fluffy read.
The ending leaves off on a complete plot twist. And I am excited for the next book!

WTF WAS THIS BOOK?!!!!
This is not a romance, but this is a horror. This is the darkest book I have ever read and I am NOT okay.

Natalie Bennett is becoming one of my go-to authors when I want to read something downright revolting and just full of nonstop triggers. It'll be unwise to read her books when one has a weak stomach because she often doesn't hold back in making detailed descriptions of the tortures and murders in all their gore-y glory. Lots of sickening depravity happening that one has to be in the right mood for before proceeding.

Okay first I just love Natalie's books! the darker the better ! I actually started with Depravity when I came across it on Amazon , knowing it was a standalone It did not bother me to read book 3 first instead of Malice book 1. I really liked Julian in depravity , so after a while when I sort of not got caught up on other books I still had to read (still a lot to read) , I thought lets go and read Julians book, well surprise to me because I actually hated Julian in this book, he is so much more psycho and depraved than I would have guessed! Yes I have read enough of miss Bennetts books to know she takes it to another level ,and thats what I love about it, (not sure what is says about me though) but the difference in book 3 and book 1 is huge! So for the ones who did not start this series start with book 1 please.
Also I do wonder ( the dinner scene with Morgana's friends ) you guys know what I am talking about I wonder what kind of drugs they used to give to Tony? for him to be so out of it to not even knowing what he was doing. ) Also I know this story was about Morgana and Julian but I would have loved to have a little bit more of a background on her sister! Why after all that she has done for the family luring guys and girls (trying to keep it vague and no big spoilers) and willingly sleeping with ................ you know who and no not meaning Julian , why did she end up like that.. was it because of Morgana or was it just a its time for her to.... kind of thing?
