What can I say about this book....first of all please listen to the warning that author wrote...this book is extremely dark...I'm used to dark novel with lots of BDSM but this....this is pure torture!!!

I love a book that makes me look-up different work like The Rake, brazen bull, Heretic fork ect. It's book one of 3 installment.

The story is about Gabe (hitman/serial killer) and Amelia (perfect girl/mayor's daughter)! The mayor has asked Gabe to eliminate a journalist in exchange hés supposed to give 1 million but failed to meet is bargain...Gabe takes matter into his own hands and kidnap Amelia. He has the biggest obsession on her and he shows Amelia what makes him tick (slowly torture (and by torture I mean gruesome gore and lots of suffering before death) and kill people). Amelia is a strong woman who will have to face many obstacles and we meet Able halfway through the book (not saying more)the book has an HEA which I'm happy because I didn't think it was possible.

If you like dark erotica but you want more gruesome horror this is definitely your book!! Bonny Capps is a great author with an amazing writting style and the most twisted imagination....she's able to capture your attention with 3 POV....I could not stop this book!!! Now I'm in desperate need to get my hands on the 2nd installment.

I recommend this book :)

Pitch black. It's fast paced and Amelia goes through some heavy, harrowing shit. 

I like that the MMC was never redeemed. More people should write irredeemable MMCs! They don't always need to change. This guy was a selfish psychopath through and through.

It was an addicting read but I had some issues with the writing style and overall pacing.

This book definitely lived up to all the warnings. Even though this was the darkest novel I've ever read, I really enjoy it and the dark tones did not bother me. It was good to read about a character as blood thirsty as Gabe. He was unapologetically brutal. I loved how whenever Amelia would let her guard down for a moment and trust Gabe, he would prove to her how much of an ***hole he really is. I enjoyed the entire book, especially the ending. I cannot wait to read more of the Killer series.

The ability to describe the twisted fuckery that was Deliverance for Amelia is beyond my skill set. I haven't the aptitude to put into words the dichotomy of this story…. the beauty and horror, the pain and pleasure. I shall leave the words to capable hands of Bonny Capps. What I will say is this: go into this book prepared. Blood and tears will be shed, innocents lost. . . but it will be one hell of a ride!

This was just the dark horror I was looking for tonight. Maybe it’s because I read the book in one sitting, or more likely— it’s because the author did a wonderful job of telling this heart wrenching tale without all the romanticized bullshit.. but it left me with tears in my eyes several times throughout its unfolding. This is the first I’ve read of Bonny Capps and it won’t be the last.

Blimey where do I start! I like a good dark story but this has to be one of the darkest books that I have read. Yes, it has many trigger factors, so read the warning prior to purchasing this book.

When reading other dark stories, I've found myself feeling somewhat sympathetic towards a character, but I didn't like Gabe one bit. A torturer and murderer by profession, he's evil to the core and truly twisted. I've changed my mind continuously about Ameila, and at times felt that she was too weak and gave into Gabe without much of a fight. It's only now that I've finished the story, I understand it was her way of coping and surviving.

A cleverly told story of kidnap, torture and murder, which was a real page turner. Deliverance for Ameila has a deserved place on my list of top reads.

Deliverance for Amelia by Bonny Capps is an emotional and physical journey that will have you weeping and smiling all in the same paragraph. I love this story and how Amelia overcomes the malicious and deprivation in her life. This book is not for the faith of heart; it is graphic and can be hard to read at times. If you have any triggers do not read!
Amelia is a young woman just starting out on her own in life. She has just started college and is ready to live life from under her father’s thumb. However, the freedom she has been longing for is taken from her and may never be within her reach again.
Gabe a man of little values and morals does the job others would shun from. He, however, relishes in it. Everyone knows you pay what is due him or you pay the price with your life. Why anyone would fell to pay is beyond me. Gabe is not as controlled as he thinks he is. He is everything horrible you were warned.
I enjoyed this story even the Dark moments that made tears stream down my face. The author has an uncanning ability to make you see, feel, taste the depravity of others and of those going through it. I loved this book and could not put it down. I give this book 5 stars! You will love this story it is crafted so beautifully.

**I was given this book for an honest review**

OMG. I love dark books but this was....amazingly scary! Intense! Gabe has to be one of the scariest characters ever. Poor Amelia.
You have been warned; this is not about romance. This is a story about fear, obsession, captivity and abuse. If you are a lover of the dark side, then this is for you. If you are easily offended, then please, stay away.
Gabe's head was seriously twisted and sick and I have to admit that I loved Amelia for her strentgh.
Amazing book. The ending left me satisfied. Well done!

4 Stars from me.


I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

HOLY CRAP!! WTF did I just read?! I love dark, please don't get me wrong, but this was freaking out-in-the-country-no-streetlights kind of dark. There was no light. Can someone please turn on a damn light????!!!! A flashlight, a lighter even!

If you're looking for something dark, gritty, dirty, sexy, with lots of torture, killing and mayhem, then this is definitely the book for you.

Bonny Capps is freaking warped and I freaking love it!! Honestly, not many authors can pull of the depths of depravity found in this book, but she freaking nailed it. You know this book got me freaking good because I can't freaking stop using the freaking word "freaking"!

Gabriel/Gabe is one twisted mofo. He is only happy when he is torturing and killing. Sadistic isn't even a good enough word to describe his evil wants and needs. Amelia is his poor innocent captive, taken as collateral until Gabe became too obsessed with her to let her go. Able is her knight in shining armour. He is willing to do any and everything in his power to save her from Gabe.

This book is not for the faint of heart. This is not a love story per se. Gabriel is absolutely NOT a hero in this book, though he is featured predominantly in it. Be afraid. Be very afraid!!
