They took her from me.

Now I’ll take everything from them.

I was never meant to fall in love with her.

We were children when they betrothed us—an obligation I didn’t want.

Before long, her amber eyes had pierced right through me,

transforming my indifference into gentle devotion.

Then, they stole her from me—banished me from my home and robbed her of my protection.

They damaged her in my absence, and the girl I cared for hardened into a woman I cannot resist.

I’ve bided my time, amassing my strength; now none who stand in my way will survive.

The time has come to take back my kingdom.

The time has come to make Thalia mine.

Author's note: Massacred Dreams is a dark mafia romance duet with elements that may be triggering to some readers.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Adelaide always had a love for reading and writing that she cultivated with years of passion and growth before finally publishing earlier this year.

You can count on intoxicating alpha males with a twist of darkness who are captivated by the light of their women. Her romance typically involves dark romance themes, colorful language, plenty of steam, and graphic violence.

Adelaide lives in her tiny house with her husband and two rambunctious hellions who she adores. When she's not chasing all three of them around the house, she spends all her free time writing and adding to the hoard of plots stored on her bookshelf and hard-drive.

You can find more information on her website at www.adelaideforrest.com.

Excellent Writing

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 21, 2023

Verified Purchase

I'd truly like to give this book a 5 star rating, because the storytelling and quality of writing is superb. I'm giving it a 4 star rating because there are certain aspects of the story that, frankly, give me the ick. And it's not the violence and gore. It's the whole grooming of a child and watching a woman's private life, unbeknownst to her, then claiming it's love that is a no go for me. That being said, I'm hooked and going to finish the series. The story is fabulous and I would recommend, with this disclaimer: To anyone who is looking to read the book: please, PLEASE, read the trigger warnings. Because...yeah. Again, spectacularly well written...but I struggle with a couple components of the content.

4 Stars because of the ending

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 20, 2023

This book was phenomenal! I read it in an entire sitting but I was so disappointed to learn that the 2nd ones release date is postponed and book 1 ended on a very large cliffhanger.

Raw, Endearing and Masterful

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 24, 2023

Verified Purchase

I was drawn in by this book from a small segment seen on TikTok. I’m so glad I deceive to read it and loved every bit of it that it took to read in one sitting. It’s raw and I adore the way it was written!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 14, 2023

This book was well written and I couldn’t put it down HOWEVER, I was exceptionally frustrated trying to find the second book to finish reading Calix and Thalias story. It says the second book was to be released of September 2022 and here we are May of 2023 with no second book. It seems this is common with this author so I’m not sure falling in love with her stories and characters are worth it with no ending in sight. I get that writing and editing is a long processes however, we are 8 months past the release date with nothing.

Too long for me

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 27, 2023

Verified Purchase

I'm at 63% and I hate not finishing books but literally binged a season of a show to put off reading this. And you know what? Reading for leisure shouldn't be a chore so it's a dnf for me. I'm so bored. I know this author is popular and I know other people like her writing but I've found most of her books to be boring. So much inner dialog. I want to read what happens, not pages of thought.

Another thing that bothered me was the phrase "her fingers danced across her cl!t." It's a fresh way to describe it but it loses something when the phrase is repeated over and over through the book. At this point I very annoyed with the whole book.

Perfection

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 29, 2022

Verified Purchase

If only there was a way for me to climb into this book and claim Calix as my own 🥵🤤 (not that it would change anything because this man only has eyes for Thalia but a girl can dream😍)

This story sucks you in from the first page and won't let you go until the last page (and even then that's debatable 😍).It's the perfect combination of heat and heart, seamlessly woven into a dark and brutal world that I can't get enough of.

Calix takes the saying "man with a plan" to a whole new level. There is nothing he won't do to take back what's his. He's here to reclaim his throne and the woman who was always meant to be his queen. Calix is truly a force to reckoned with. Rūthless and calculating and so deliciously hot and in control🥵. And the things this man does for his woman (and to his woman 🔥) is beyond swoonworthy (and droolworthy). Even as he f0rces his way back into her life, it's obvious he's put effort and care into creating a world that Thalia can truly enjoy. At first glance it may seem like a gilded cāge, but at its core, Thalia is truly freer than she's even been. (Of course that freedom has some rëstrictïons and good luck to any man foolish enough to "cross the line" with Thalia 😈😍. )

Thalia surprised me in more ways than one. She was raised in a life that was far from kind to her. It may not have br0ken her, but it's definitely left its scärs and I loved watching her become the woman she was always meant to be.

AMAZING READ! No surprise I can't wait for the next book!

Callix and Thalia

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 9, 2022

Verified Purchase

My first mafia romance books were Adelaide Forest’s and I have been a fan of them.

I have been impatiently waiting for Callix and Thalia’s story ever since I read the first chunk of the teaser and I can honestly say it did disappoint.

Thalia was betrothed to Callix as a child but something happens and changes both their lives. On her wedding day she is to marry a different mafia leader but that all changes when the boy from her past shows up.

I love Callixms devotion from the very beginning and he is just as obsessed as Raphael but not as crazy. But you can see him being good friends with both Rafael and Ryker which is fun because they are all crazy Mo-Fos.

I have been anxiously waiting for Calix and Thalia's story since reading the prologue and it did not disappoint. Calix is the perfect operate in the grey anti hero, willing to burn the world down for Thalia, and yet tender enough with her to brush her hair, feed her, take care of her completely. That perfect balance of vicious, twisted, possessive with a complete and all encompassing love. And the back history, she was always his and they took him from her and he made himself who he needed to be to come back and not only get her back but get the ultimate revenge against all who stood in his way. And he learned it all from Rafe - swoon. Thalia is beautifully bent but not broken, so much fire and fever that matches Calix perfectly - cannot wait for the second in the duet to watch her grow into the queen she is meant to be. And love the imagery of the shades of grey in every aspect of their world, literal and figurative - just beautiful! Didn't think I could love a power couple more than Rafe and Isa but Calix and Thalia are right there side by side, Persephone to his Hades!

Romanticising abusive relationships

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 21, 2022

Verified Purchase

I’m appalled that this book made it through to publishing. The harmful way in which abusive relationships and objectification of women is romanticised can lead impressionable young readers down a dangerous path.

The female lead has no control over her life, from what she wears, when she’s allowed to use the bathroom, showering herself, what she eats and if she’s allowed to take birth control (she’s not) is all decided by the male protagonist. He repeatedly claims her as “his” and gives her no say whatsoever in her own life.

How an author can feel good about putting the horrors of an abusive relationship into a “romantic/sexy” narrative is utterly beyond me.

Nevermind that the writing is clunky, the story unimaginative and the characters as flat as a pancake.

If I could give it zero stars I would.

Absolutely loved it

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 12, 2022

Verified Purchase

Just finished this beauty and I absolutely loved it. This was my first book by Adelaide Forrest (definitely not the last). I really enjoyed watching them both grow up and into themselves, learning about Thalia’s upbringing and what brought them both together. Calix is everything I hoped he would be and I adore him. I cannot wait to see where the story goes.

You should read this if you like:
- Dark mafia romance
- Possessive alpha males
- Strong FMCs
- Touch her and you die vibes
- Obsessed heroes
- Hand necklaces
- Lot's of spice
