**AUTHOR NOTE - This is NOT a BDSM Romance**
We're
thirteen girls, captive, slave to our master.
A master we've never seen.
Obedience will become all we know in our shallow existence. It is the
only emotion we're permitted to feel.
When we're bad, we're punished. When we're good, we're rewarded.
Our scars run deep. Yet we survive, because we have to...
because HE teaches us to.
All of us are special, we feel it with everything we are.
He has us for a reason, but it's a reason we don't know.
We've never seen his face, but we know that something deeply broken lies
beneath the darkness. With every touch, with every punishment, we know
it.
Then something changed.
He showed me who he truly is.
Now I want him.
I'll go against everything I know to be with him.
A monster.
My monster.
Bella
Jewel is an Aussie girl through and through. She spent her life in
Western Australia, growing up in many different areas of the state. She
now currently lives in Perth with her husband, children and mass amounts
of pets. She's crazy, fun, outgoing and friendly. Writing is her
passion, she started at the young age of 18 but finally got the courage
up to publish, and her first novel Hell's Knights was released in August
2013.
Loving him is a sin, but a
sinner I am. I won't stop until I see every part of him. Even the parts
he keeps locked deep down inside.
I am Number Thirteen, and this is my story.
No one said it was pretty, or right, but it's mine.
Number Thirteen is definitely not what I thought it was
going to be. Going by the author’s warning I knew not to expect any BDSM but
reading the book’s blurb I thought I was going to be reading a dark romance.
Yes, there were some darker moments in this novel but overall it was not dark.
When I started reading Number Thirteen I didn’t know what to expect. I don’t
want to give too much away in my review so I will try my best to not give any
spoilers away.
William is a scarred soul. He is scarred on the outside but
those scares don’t compare to the inner scars he carries. The book starts out
in William’s POV as a young boy. I didn’t like what he had to go through, in
fact, I wanted to jump through the kindle and defend him against the evil that
attacked him. In the present, William buys 13 girls; they do not know their
names so they are to only go by the number in which they have been assigned.
The girls are given these guidelines; you follow the Master’s rules, you get
rewarded. You break a rule, you will be punished as the master sees fit.
At first, Number Thirteen has no memories of her life before
she was taken and sold to William. She is strong, determined, and doesn’t like
to always follow the rules. The other girls, well they range from strong and
determined to scared and totally broken. What will happen when Number Thirteen
catches William’s attention? What will William do when he wants to take a
lover? Will he be able to choose just one girl to claim as his one? If the
girls are given the chance to escape William, will they?
I thought this was a good book. Was it perfect? No but the
author gave us something unique. This book starts out making you think one way
and by the end another. I guess you will have to read it to find out what I
mean. There were a couple grammar issues but nothing that I couldn’t get past.
If you are looking for a slightly dark romance with a twist,
this one is for you.
