Love this author's serial killer romances and as usual, this one didn't disappoint.
This one is all about Callum and Giselle and their rocky road to there own personal happy ever after.
This is both dark and delightful at the same time and I really did enjoy myself.
These books are my guilty pleasure and I always usually read them in one sitting and this one was no exception.
Hot and heavy throughout this addictive read certainly delivers on all fronts.
Callum's backstory was absolutely heartbreaking and Giselle's path was no walk in the park either though she definitely didn't have it quite as severe as him.
Both their interlocking journeys have shaped the individuals they have evolved into.
The first half of this we get to explore Giselle and her past and the second part here its Callum's turn to take the stage.
Also really appreciated how past characters made brief appearances here it was great to catch up.
This really was an easy read that as usual, I devoured.
I recommend this series so highly every book released is my new favourite.
I voluntary reviewed a copy of Callum's Hell.

Callum has been plotting down to the very moment when he will meet Giselle in person and start making her his. Callum is ruthless, he is a serial killer who takes great pleasure in destroying his victims, he wont take no for an answer where Giselle is concerned either.
Giselle goes from having a fiancee to having an ex-fiancee and catching the eye of Callum. He drives her nuts but he also brings out a side of herself she didn't know she had. What will happen when she meets the real Callum, will she accept who he is or will Callum have to be more devious then ever?
Riveting. This was so completely different then other books I have read. Callum can be heartless but he has a real soft spot for Giselle even if he does not recognize it. Page turner full of heat and unexpected twists. Checking out more from this author.

Miz Mason is by FAR my favorite serial killer author. Her books are always well written and well paced. Her plots are always engaging and twisted. Her anti heroes are always psychos yet strangely lovable at the same time. (lol) Her heroines are always strong and likable. The sex is always hot. There is never any OW drama, and they always leave me wanting her next book ASAP.
And all the above was true for this book as well. It was a well-crafted and gripping story. Both main characters were well developed and intriguing. It was full of twists and turns (the ending took me completely by surprise). I loved seeing cameos of the "heroes" from previous books, and OMG I cannot WAIT for Arson's book AND the DARK HORSEMEN series. Last, it was all wrapped up in a satisfying ending.
So yea...I loved it and I can't recommend this author highly enough.

Callum's Hell will bring out all range of emotions from you. The author has a way of writing a bad boy you should hate, but can't help falling in love with them.
Callum is a damaged soul that has been through what no one should be out through. He has come out on top and did what was necessary to survive. He has no soul and does not believe in love. He does however believe in revenge, and he will get the revenge he so desperately needs. We get a good look at what he went through, and you learn to love the monster he believes himself to be.
The only problem with that is the beautiful Giselle. She is a beautiful soul who has been made the black sheep of her family for no other reason than being alive. She is a strong caring woman who has constantly been treated like she has done something wrong by her grandfather. With a family like hers who needs enemies of any kind.
I love the whole serial killer falling in love. Does that make none a little demented? Possibly. The secondary characters are well written and I am so looking forward to reading how these hardened men get their happily ever afters.

Callum MacRae is a man who seems to love what he does. Now he’s found a new obsession. He was an interesting man to try and get to know. One thing he’ll let you know loud and clear is that he’s very good at what he does. Giselle Walker kinda makes me glad that I don’t have sisters. I’m just glad that she has a good friend in Isla.
The author has grabbed my attention with how she’s gone about creating Giselle’s world. When you first meet her, you’re going to want to be in her corner - especially if you are one that’s always blamed for everything. Those scenes may be tough to read and have you reliving your own past. But if you were able to rise above that then you know there’s hope for her as well.
This book may have Callum’s name on it but my heart hurt for Giselle. Yes there are parts that were tough to read but I had to turn the page because I had the hope that her situation would change. This author does a fantastic job at creating plenty of characters to hate. These same characters seem like they would be perfect in a horror movie, American Horror Story, or in a nightmare. They almost seem devoid of feelings except when it comes to themselves. In their own way they like to torment their victim.
You will need patience with this one. The author takes her time in building her characters and her storyline. Callum is the man who is pulling the strings and in his own way he is forcing me to use my finger to turn the page. There’s just something about the way Ms. Mason created him that he became addictive. He also drops hints every so often and that just has me wanting to know what else is going to get revealed. You will see that Giselle lets us into glimpses of her past but knowing that will help you see into her present. And that’s another thing that carries me through this book – wanting to see if she’s happy when all is said and done.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

❝We are like two lost souls, drifting in this world, not belonging to anyone, too afraid to give our love freely without facing the consequences.❞
V.F. Mason is one of my go-to authors when my brain needs some darkish readings. If you haven’t read her and falling in love with the villain of the story is your thing, give her a chance.
