Desolate by Ker Dukey

This book contains dark themes and explicit sex. Read with caution.

When you're not alone in the dark

Ryan was what you would call a troubled soul... you know, if he had a soul to be troubled. He spent 18 years in a prison psych ward with doctors trying to 'fix' him. One day, he convinced them he was cured and they let him out. Nevermind the fact that he killed a random stranger, sliced and diced two women and a college kid, and almost ended the lives of his brother, Blake, and Melody. Nope, nevermind all that. Or the reality that he probably would have kept on tormenting, torturing, and killing people because he fantasizes about it nonstop. Nope, disregard all that because... cured! Let's not even mention that he was surrounded by trained professionals who should be able to pick up on the idea that he's not indeed cured because he is in fact acting like he's cured. Because in order for this story to really get somewhere, Ryan needed to be out. And that's when the real fun begins!

I’m not sick and I’m not broken. I’m desolate, born empty lacking a soul. You can’t fix what was never broken.

So Ryan's out. Strange things are happening. By strange, I mean people are dying. People that are linked to the key characters of this story. And all of this is going on while Blake is keeping Ryan's release a secret from Melody, which is tearing them apart. Then there's Ryan getting closer to their daughter. That's a mess of massive proportions just waiting to happen. And then there's just Ryan. His constant manipulation and downright realness make him utterly ridiculous, delicious and entertaining. I don't know how I can love this man after everything he's done and plans to do, but I do. I adore him so much. I know the next books in the series are even more about him so I'll definitely be reading them. I can't get enough of this man!!

I am void of everything but obsession.
I can’t love,
I can’t feel,
I am Desolate.
