Story Rec: Lovegame
I reviewed Lovegame by moneybeet for the Deviants of the Dark blog.
Click here to read the post with reviews by me and Donnarai.
Every night she goes about her business ignorant to the man who watches her from her window. She doesn’t understand what is coming. She couldn’t know the horrors he would subject her to in the name of fascination. E/B, DARK.
There’s one word that consistently comes to mind when I read Lovegame.
Nightmare.
Bella finds herself in a most unfortunate predicament the day she meets Edward. The scent of her blood and silent mind are enough to seal her fate as nothing more than his plaything. Edward is a master at controlling her, owning her, and he gets her to obey him by threatening the lives of others. Not that she really has a choice. He is playing a game, physically and mentally, and unlike other stories of similar nature, Bella is forced to go on with her everyday life pretending that everything is normal.
This story is written in 3rd person and moneybeet does a brilliant job of portraying the emotions of the characters. When Bella is afraid, I feel it in my gut. When Edward is tormenting her, I’m on the edge of my seat wanting more. Most of the time these emotions are happening simultaneously. She makes me want to cover my eyes and cheer at the same time.
Not only is Lovegame well written, but this Edward isn’t going soft anytime soon. At times he may come across as caring, but it’s quickly overshadowed by his underlying motives. I can’t wait to see what other twisted things he has up his sleeve!
“Still hurting, kitten?” he whispered in his velvet tenor.
She gave a slight nod, trying to ignore the little stabs of pain. If only she had remembered to bring the bottle of Tylenol sitting on the kitchen counter this morning…
“Good.”
