I have been eager to read Mason and Katie's story since I read Depravity (which I read first even though it's book 3) and I was not disappointed. Natalie Bennett proves again that she is the queen of deliciously dark reads. I really enjoyed trying to figure Mason out; while he is brutally honest, he's not forthcoming with information and has his secrets. He is definite his fathers son (Julian from Malice is his father).
I love this family and the more I see from them, the more I love them all. I can't recommend this whole series enough but be warned it is very dark and not for the faint of heart.

Sweet lord. There is a r a son that I call this author the queen of darkness. Her mind frightens me. Every book I read by her can be likened to how I feel about the Saw movies. I want to look away but I can't. She writes some of the most depraved stuff out there and I often wonder how she can top it. Yet, she tops it EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
I recommend this book and author for anyone that loves dark erotic horror. And by dark, I mean darker than 13 midnights.

This was absolutely another fantastic 5 plus ⭐read from the cleverly diabolical mind of Natalie I have to wonder where she comes up with these f'ed up stories, but as long as she's writing I'm going to be reading them.
We go back to the Andreou family of the Dahlia saga this is the story of Mason who is the son of Morgana and Julian and he's a lil saner than his father, but not by much seeing as he likes to cut up a person for his kind of art then paint them. Then you have his Katie or Katie Kat as he likes to call her she knows there's something wrong with him, but she's got her own lil crazy going on in her mind she's a good girl, but in her mind she's already managed to kill you 6 different way's oh yeh these 2 deserve each other and Mason has been watching her and binding his time waiting for the right moment to take her and make her see that their crazy can live in harmony as long as she never leaves him, because then she won't like him.
This book will take you on one crazy rollercoaster ride after another, but it's so good you'll want to get your ticket. This is definitely not for the faint of heart, but if your into the dark, twisted evil has a new name called Mason then you'll want to read this.

“My version of a hero was incomprehensible to outsiders. I fell for a man with a pitch black soul and a charm so deceptive he could out with the devil.”
Book to goes forward in time where we meet mason who is Julian’s and Morgana‘s son from book one. He’s all grown up in his early 30s now and has had an infatuation with Katie who he has known since the day she was born. But he never sunk his claws into her until the time was right. And by right timing, I mean he knew that she wanted to take her life again, so he literally kidnapped her. Sounds familiar? This is Julian’s son after all.
“If I had to twist words and manipulate her for me to get what I wanted, and for her to be happy, I was going to.”
Mason knew that he would end up having feelings for Katie. And despite his oddities and “artistic abilities”, I found him to be on the sweeter side of the depravity that happens at the Dahlia. We don’t see much that goes on in the red rooms in this book because this book is really based around the “romance” and figuring out Masons twisted words.
Like Morgana, Katie’s sister also went missing and had a shitty home life.. so it’s a twisted game to figure out the truth and what has happened to everyone who’s gone missing.
“He was both madness and paradise. Fallen for him was like a slow motion suicide. “
Mason it’s charming and seductive and he uses sex as a weapon and tool to manipulate and have complete control of Katie. There is definitely nonANDdun/con involved. She starts off as an innocent and ends up falling down the rabbit hole of complete darkness.
This is a Twitter love story about a man going after the woman that he wants. And will say and do anything to keep her forever.
I absolutely love Mason. There’s just something about him that makes me forget about daddy Julian for a minute and appreciate just how much he loves his woman.

Even tho I dont really like those books I still want to read the others in this series? Idk...I guess I wanna know how messed up everyone else in this saga is lol
there were lots of references to the first book of the saga and that made me jump back and read at least the last couple of chapters ~
other than in the first book, here both mains were kinda messed up and still came to an understanding of loving each other (if you can call that love, whatever the relationships there is based on)

Still loving it!
Maybe big spoilers*****
Book 2 wasn't as amazing as book one only because I absolutely fell in Love with Julian! Mason is just as demented. Katie is insane

So "Obscene" is the story of Morgana and Julien's son Mason and this is his and Katies story.
He is certainly a chip off the old block but compared to his father's past antics Mason is practically sane even with his unique compulsions that drive him to take things apart for his macabre art inspirations.
despite his penchant for murder and dismemberment, he was actually quite a sweetie, well to Katie anyway.
His dominance and control are definitely at the forefront as he drives this obsession with his Katie-Kat to it's full completion.
He wants to immerse her in his world so she has no choice but to stay within his deviant but loving embrace and teach her to embrace her wicked side completely.
I liked Katie and she is certainly wide open to this lifestyle of decadence and death.
She even finds mason's little hobby strangely intriguing which just shows her level of wired wrongness.
So Julien is back in this one and as much as I loved checking on him it also felt so bittersweet with how things finished in the previous book.
We also get to meet Mason's cousin Declan, who along with Ethen is in the next instalment of this series "Depravity" which is M/M/F and doesn't disappoint either.
So this series is not for the faint of heart on a 1-10 scale of darkness this is definitely an 11 this is extreme stuff very hostel in nature.
Me I love this type of fiction and I read this in one complete sitting.
This really is a great read if you like your boundaries completely obliterated.
I voluntary reviewed a copy of Obscene: A Dahlia Saga Novel.

This was one of the darkest books I've ever read.
The characters were so twisted but I loved the story. The plot was amazing and the author definitely knows how to tell a fantastic story.
I'll definitely continue the series.
It was terrific.
Really enjoyed it
