Review: Facade (Deception #1) by Ker Dukey & D.H. Sidebottom

 Sarah      5 Stars, D.H. Sidebottom, Deception, Facade, Ker Dukey, Review     No comments   






WARNING! This book is Dark erotica. This book contains situations that some may find offensive. If you are sensitive to graphic violence read with caution. This book also leads into a second book. You will get answers but the story will continue into a final installment. You have been warned. Enjoy.

You meet someone. You date. You fall in love. You marry.
The four simple rules of love….
Wrong! I’m getting married but I’d never met him before now, never dated him, never fell in love. I have no access to the memories of the most magical time of anyone’s life.
My mind won’t allow me to evoke the past, I can’t remember those simple stages to lead me to the fourth .

I can’t comprehend why I would have ever wanted to marry someone like Dante. I should never have passed the first stage, although, I may have seen him through the eyes of the woman I once was, this me that lives, breathes here now, can’t understand how we made it to the next stage. I’m not sure, without memories, how I know that this voice inside me, telling me I would never have chosen him, speaks some truth, I just know. He’s controlling, arrogant, callous and violent, and utterly hell bent on humiliating and degrading me – Like watching me falter, watching me struggle to comply and be the woman he asked to marry, powers him- as though he wants to break me piece by piece. Fiber by fiber. Until all that’s here is the shell he created from a soul that I once owned.

Now my memories are slowly returning. And they show me a completely different side to meeting him. Our dates, falling in love. The Dante haunting me in the shadows of my mind is loving, gentle and utterly enamored with me, nothing like the man with me now. And this is what taunts me. My tender lover turned into a debauched, cruel sadist who is determined to consume my life, destroy my mind and murder my spirit.

I am, Star, and just like with some stars in the sky, the light you see is an echo, a façade, I am already gone.
I am a no one.
Especially to him. To him I am the dark in his desires, the corrupt in his depravity.
The sin in his immorality.



*Complimentary copy received for review purposes.

So the more dark erotica I read, the more intrigued I am. I never thought I would enjoy something so dark and cryptic. But like Star, maybe you don’t really know what it is that you like. I gave this book 5 stars. I am going to summarize it without spoilers then tell you why I loved it so much.

If Dante is Star’s fiancé, how did she get to this point? What led her to this point? How would you feel waking up finding out you can’t remember something as simple as your favorite color, what your name is, what food you enjoy eating? The heart never lies. Her inner voice keeps telling her that this is not who she chose. She thinks her heart is happy and it belongs to someone but is it Dante?

Dante is a control freak, fierce, Star's debasement is his number one goal. Little by little, Star is breaking down. Is it because she is remembering or being degraded at every turn? The memories that are returning of Dante, are not the monster that Dante has become. He was kind, loving, everything she desired in a man.

Ker Dukey has done it again. Just when you think you have the whole story figured out, what a total mind-blowing outcome. I keep thinking, ok what am I missing? Have I finally figured it out? Was he all those sweet things that she remembered and something has changed him forever? Just as stated above in synopsis, this is a dark erotica novel and if you are sensitive to graphic violence, read with caution. You will get answers and it does lead into another installment. Answers to your questions will come but will you get everything you need to tide you over to BOOK#2?! I cannot wait for book#2 to see how the story will complete. I kept thinking Star was dreaming and she was going to wake up and everything was going to be a lie, boy was I wrong! I hope you enjoyed this book as much as I did. I promise Ker Dukey and D.H. Sidebottom will not disappoint.
