Obscene is the second book in the Dahlia saga written by author Natalie Bennett. This story was originally published as Love Obscene and Love Corrupted in the Obscene duet in 2017. It has since been modified and rearranged into one book, which is now called Obscene.

This book tells the story of Katie and Mason, and their tale is warped, bloody, and dark. There are definitely several triggers within the story, so please keep that in mind before beginning! It is not a sweet romance, but instead, an ugly and perplexing love story. I often felt as though the story took hold of me, and I became its willing prisoner. I didn’t think that Ms. Bennett could shock me, but she did, and all I can say is OMG!

An excellent read for all my fellow dark romance fans!

Title: Macabre
Series: Dahlia Saga #1
Author: Natalie Bennett
Genre: Dark Romance
Release Date: May 28, 2019
Cover Design: Opulent Designs
Everyone knows the stories about naïve girls being taken by beautiful monsters.
Often the monster is a tortured soul with a fucked up past, but even then, that monster is redeemable.
This is not one of those stories.
My monster revels in the carnage he creates.
Our story is not one where good prevails and the villain becomes a hero.
My reality is dark.
His demons are darker.
And though I love my monster, this is no fairytale.
There is no happily ever after.

Macabre is the first book in the new Dahlia series written by author Natalie Bennett.  This book was previously published in 2017 and was titled Mercy. I didn’t get the chance to read the story when it was first published, so I am unsure if there was anything modified. I will tell you that I have read several of Ms. Bennett’s books, and Macabre was extremely dark. And in my opinion, even for her standards.  So, please take that into consideration before beginning.

Macabre tells the story of Morgana Sanchez and Julian Andreous.  Both characters are pretty twisted, but Julian was really out there! I really enjoy reading dark romances, although this one was like a dark romance on steroids!
