[Kursed Reads · Rating 5 out of 5]

In the Twisted Obsession prequel we meet Professor Melody Cameron and are reintroduced to Jacob Rhodes.

With his grades in jeopardy, he is willing to cross lines in order to remain on the hockey team, and keep his NHL dreams alive. That professor Cameron can make or break him, turns this battle of wills into a game. She has no hopes of winning. I’m pretty much speechless here. I’ve only read one other hero that comes close to this level of obsessed and I am here for it.

That ending… Like everyone else, I needed the rest of their story stat!

“I’m going to keep you, Melody Cameron”

[Jacelynn · Rating 2 out of 5]

Reading this prequel has really changed my mind about reading the book. I’m sure I’ll get to it eventually, but I’m good on skipping the next 2 in the series for now.

Twisted Obsession Prequel: Meeting Melody is a must read if your are busy making your way through S. Massery's Hockey Gods Obsession Series.

This little novella introduces Melody - Jacob's little Songbird obsession.
It's a quick read - giving us exactly what goes down and a little more insight as to why Jake is Jake - well almost.

Go read it - then read Twisted Obsession

[Shannon · Rating 5 out of 5]

In the Prequel S. Massery teases us with Jacob and Melody’s story and leaves us hanging in the worst way. As it goes with S. Massery, if you have triggers go in eyes wide open because Jacob Rhodes is next level. He does not play by conventional rules, his obsession knows no bounds, and all he cares about is claiming Melody. Jacob doesn’t pay his English professor much mind until he sees her out with friends que in his infatuation. Melody Cameron cannot escape Jacob. He seems to be everywhere she turns. She knows his obsession runs deep. And, she is helpless, but to give in. But, Melody has a secret, one buried in her past. And, it comes knocking on her door.

“I want all your secrets, songbird. And someday, you will sing them all for me.”

HOW DID A PREQUEL NOVEL MAKE ME FEEL SO MUCH

[sabilulu · Rating 1 out of 5]

you would think that ability to see and to read is a gift, but then you read something like this and you suddenly wanna go blind and unlearn reading.

[Rebekah · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow. Okay, yes. Please. Give me more. I’ve always been curious about Melody. We’ve seen references to her as “the one that got away”, but I felt like I was missing a key piece of her identity. This doesn’t give us everything, but it gives us the very beginning of her twisted love affair with Jacob. And the twist at the end!! 🤯🫢🫣 Cannot wait for the full length novel to come out.

Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ (4/5)
Trigger warnings: non-consent, drugging

[WhatsSheReading · Rating 4 out of 5]

I needed the full length novel, because no way was that prequel enough, if its intended purpose was to make me desperately in need to read Jacob's and Melody's story it worked and that cliffhanger didn't help not one bit

[Gab :) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ima rate it just so it can be cause the not rated will bug me but it’s just 70 pages about how how they meet and then their actual story continues on in Twisted Obsession. I will say one thing, the way she was like “you drugged me?” And his reaction resembled “yep AND ILL DO IT AGAIN!” 🤣💀

[Tara Cavanaugh · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a quick and fun read! I was told I needed to read this before Twisted Obsession so I decided to do just that. Melody and Jacob ‘s story of meeting was definitely entertaining! The banter, the spiciness, just yes! The cliffhanger.. ughh lol I can’t wait to read Twisted Obsession!

[Brooke · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bro if I would have read this before mel and Jacob story came out I would have shit my pants. CAUSE WHAT DO YOU MEAN BRO.

Anyways 5 star from me I fear I'm in too deep with these characters. Cause I love them so much already and it's just the novella.

[Jennifer Boland · Rating 5 out of 5]

The way this prequel has me in a chokehold already!!! I can’t wait for Oct. 25th!!!

[Shannan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oooh Jacob… I’m so ready to read your story! Don’t keep me waiting please!!! 😮‍💨

[Samantha Jernigan · Rating 5 out of 5]

I cannot wait for Jacob’s book 😭🥵 this is such a tease!

[Britany · Rating 5 out of 5]

This did not feel like a novella in the best possible way. It was so good. I will be so disappointed if twisted obsession doesn’t have the secret child trope though. It’d be so good if the child is Jakes.

[Faye · Rating 5 out of 5]

Need Jacob’s book asap

[remy | readwithremy 🤍🫶🏼 · Rating 4 out of 5]

October can’t come quick enough!!!!

[Nicki · Rating 4 out of 5]

Teddy kills the audio again. Loved. Looking forward to the pieces coming together!

[Demi Nolan (Taylor’s Version) · Rating 4 out of 5]

I am loving this series, but why are we not calling it for what half of it it?

[Marissa Pekurny · Rating 5 out of 5]

loved this prequel, i already read the full book of melody and jacob so it was a fun time reading what happened before that book!

[Kris · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am so ready for Jacob and Melody’s story!!!

[Courtney Tillotson · Rating 4 out of 5]

I fear Jacob and Melody might be the most unhinged couple yet! 😂😂 this has me so excited to go into their book. That ending 🫣🤯

[Natasha · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was insane. I think I might love Jacob more than everyone else

[Jeanissa · Rating 4 out of 5]

So excited to see how unhinged Jacob is going to be to her melody backkkkkkk ugh

[Casey · Rating 4 out of 5]

Definitely needed in my opinion.
Twisted Obsession would not have made as much sense without the prequel.
I highly suggest reading this first.

[a🧚‍♀️ · Rating 3 out of 5]

UHHHH 😵‍💫😵‍💫


So turns out this is an age gap romance (I hate age gaps), it’s also reversed (the girl is older) which I hate even more (not being sexist or antg btw, just enjoy when the couples age gap is MAX 5 years) (also enjoy the guy being older cuz that usually means he has more experience)

Will not be reading the actual book (probs will)
