5+++ SERIAL STARS!!!
There are so many reasons why this book worked for me, I'm so deliriously happy right now... I can't even!!!
Here's a little info on the book if you're interested:
Serial is the collaboration and project of two authors, Lily White and Jaden Wilkes. This is not the first book I've read from either author so you can imagine my elation when I heard they were doing a project together. With Lily White's trademark brilliance at writing deeply dark characters and gruesome gore scenes and Jaden Wilkes wonderful prose when it comes to dark humour, I was prepared for awesomeness. And awesome is what I got.
Serial is a novella told in the first person, from three points of view.
1. Jude (serial killer)
2. Donovan Black (detective)
3. Ronnie (heroine/love interest)
Serial is a about a serial killer by the name of Jude. (I love it when authors give their characters biblical names, makes the story that much darker for some reason)
*Jude is a successful businessman, who grew up in a healthy environment, with a loving family. But he has a dark secret or craving that is. Jude lives for the kill, there's something about the exhilarating feeling he gets when he watches his victim breath their last breath.
I can't help it, I truly can't. I've researched addiction, Googled the fuck out of everything from, "How do I stop killing" to "Frontal lobotomy results sociopath" when the going gets tough.
"I've never felt quite all there, but not in a bad way. It's not that I hear voices or get messages through radio transmissions. I've always felt smugly superior somehow.
*Donovan, is the detective working on the case of the Cascades Killer. He's just as intriguing as Jude and I hope we can get more insight into this character. He's meticulous in his investigation and is hell bent on stopping the serial killer. He's character is dark, and seems jaded. I think he may be just as fucked up as Jude is.
My balls puller tight as her screams increased and just as I shot my cum inside her, I looked up at the task board and into the lifeless eyes of a monster's victims.
*Ronnie, is a waitress at a diner that Jude has begun frequenting. She's obviously attracted to the man. She's broken and been kicked while she was down a lot. Her character is ready for the plucking.
The lock on the door clicked again and his entrance meant night had fallen. How long would I get to keep him to myself this time?

5 stars for a witty psychopathic serial killer in love!
I loved this book and plan to read the next three right away. They are my favorite genre of book (though I am not sure it is actually considered a true genre). But I have read quite a few and I am truly enamored with the psychopath/sociopath without empathy that falls in love and finally finds someone that he has feelings for.
Generally these people, like our main character, Jude Hollister, are portrayed as witty about their lack of emotions, their actions and life in general so their thoughts are often hilarious and their inner commentary is pretty fascinating.
Jude falls for Veronica (Ronnie), a waitress at a nearby Waffle House he and his “friends” went to one night after getting drunk. He hangs out with his friends every so often to appear normal. Jude stalks Ronnie for a while after that, planning to kidnap her, make her his, call her Pet and keep her because he loves her. He doesn’t want to kill her, but hopes that she will save him and he will be able to stop killing before he gets caught.
However Jude is not too worried about being caught right away, he just knows that eventually he probably will. He is very methodical, always using different cars, changing his hair, selecting different types of girls, cleaning them afterwards, etc.
He eventually takes Ronnie and it happens in a pretty fortuitous way, which I won’t spoil but he is afraid after he takes her that he will kill her because he still has his urges, so he continues to kill. There is a small cliffhanger. Each of the books are approximately 100-125 pages so it was expected and are available on Kindle Unlimited.

Some of my classmates and colleagues chose drugs as their escape from the mundane. I chose death. It’s easier on the body and doesn’t show up on tox screens. It’s not like “Hey, I slit a woman’s throat last night” will be picked up in a cup of urine.

I couldn’t imagine pulling this kind of shit off without the money I had backing it. Maybe I should’ve started a charity assisting broke ass killers, helped a few out.

3.5 NEED MORE CONVICTION STARS ★★★☆
"I believe I love my victims. Something about each and every one of them calls to me, draws me in and makes me fall in love.
I just happen to destroy the things that I love."
After reading Her Master's Courtesan, I swore off to read almost anything that Lily White writes & when I found out that a collaboration featuring her has been released, I jumped right at it.
*********
Serial, Volume One starts off with Jude Hollister. A wealthy CEO by day and a serial killer by night. He lives for the kill and gets off by killing women who entices him.
Ronnie, a waitress at Waffle House catches the attention of Jude and he's determined to capture her and make her his own. She's got troubles on her own but when Jude sweeps in to save her, little did she know that Jude has trapped her in his grasp.
There's also Agent Donovan Blake, the FBI agent on the Cascades Killer (aka Jude) case. We don't see that much of him in this instalment and so far all we know is that he's hell bent on catching Jude and may have some dark issues on his own. Oh and he's totally shagging his second-in-command lady, Agent Emily Chase (gotta love some dirty cop action *winks*).
*********
This was a fairly quick read and felt more like an introduction to all the MC's in the book, so I guess it's fairly safe to say that the thriller factor in this one is still very minimal. The only disturbing thing was being inside Jude's sick, twisted mind as he described how much he gets off during killing.
Due to the short length of the read, I barely find myself connecting to any MCs so far & also had me questioning a lot of things. Like why is Ronnie so different from the other women Jude kills? Why did he capture her and not kill her? Why is Ronnie seemingly calm under Jude's capture?
Overall, I really enjoyed the dark humor that the book had to offer; being inside Jude's head was fairly disturbing but wickedly amusing. But it somehow lacked the oomph factor I was looking for in a dark erotic thriller read. Like I said, this book probably served as an intro and hopefully the later books are much more compelling to read.
I still have high hopes for this series as it sounds promising so far & with that abrupt cliifhanger at the end, I'm very eager to read the next one ;)

”I couldn’t stop now even if I wanted to. And why would I want to? I grant those I love the gift of eternal youth, beauty that will never fade or falter such as that of a withering flower. It’s my calling.”
This is an interesting start to a series in which I’m not quite sure how many books will be in total. Jude is our main character and he is a very wealthy business man who also is a serial murder of woman. His thoughts are pretty disturbing as is what he does to his victims’ bodies. He falls for the hot blonde working at the local Waffle House and in her he thinks he could have it all.
Jude isn’t very likable and our Waffle House employee is pretty dumb. There are also FBI agents trying to find a pattern in this killers MO and wondering if the Waffle House missing employee is linked or not. Ronnie is being kept at Jude’s place under lock and key which she thinks is for her own protection … but seriously locked in a bedroom and thinking it’s all good?
The story ends abruptly leading the way for the next installment which I’m on the fence about reading. Usually there is something alluring about the killer in the dark books I read and so far I don’t care for Jude, Ronnie or the FBI group but am willing to try the next book.

A pretty twisted start...but I'm not sure how I feel about this one yet. It's short, and I didn't really connect with the characters, so I guess it all depends on how things play out in the next book.

** 4 - 4,5 STARS **
I believe I love my victims. Something about each and every one of them calls to me, draws me in and makes me fall in love.
I just happen to destroy the things that I love.
Jude is a cold-blooded serial killer.
He is a textbook psychopath.
He is very experienced and skilled with a knife.
He has very unique and twisted sexual needs.
He is very calm and normal on the outside.
He is devastatingly handsome and rich and charismatic.
AND HE IS SO MUCH FUN TO BE INSIDE THE HEAD OF! I enjoyed reading his dark and twisted thoughts much more than I probably should!
The tragedy of taking a life, coupled with the sensation of release, is intoxicating, over-whelming and addictive.
Some of my classmates and colleagues chose drugs as their escape from the mundane. I chose death. It's easier on the body and doesn't show up on tox screens.
Some women, especially the most beautiful ones, seek out tragedy. They want to end their lives before they age and fade into nothing.
They find me so they can remain immortalized, dead while still beautiful and meaningful.
At first, I was pretty much disgusted by his cruelty and arrogance, you see. But with every other chapter, with every new victim and with every bit of new insight of his state of mind, he grew on me.
I know that sounds weird and creepy, but that's the case and I'm honest enough to admit it here.
I know I'm just blabbering about Jude, but just to be clear, the book has multiple POVs: Jude, his love interest Ronnie aka Pet and lastly Detective Donovan Black.
I couldn't care less about Ronnie, who is a dimwit and acts like a doormat.
But Detective Donovan sounds interesting and I bet he has something dark inside of him and isn't much different from Jude, afterall.
Can't wait for Volume #2!
Hoping for at least a slightly happy ending for Jude!
(Yeah, I'm rooting for a sick psycho serial killer.)
P.S: This song kept playing in my head the whole time I was reading:
PSYCHO KILLER by Talking Heads
October 1, 2014
Eeek hell What have I just read?
Ok before I go any further let me say I love No I adore Lily and her writing I mean she's the queen of dark, she introduced me to that intense tingly feeling that I should love this but there's something gripping that draws me to her work. And in this Novella that is no different likewise with Jadens writing I mean this is my first book by her but together I can't fault that saying all that I'm not sure this was a favourite, it was good but It wasn't my favourite.
So what's it about?
Jude is a member of the community works hard and to everyone and his family is a laid back bachelor!!! But he see's RED he feels more, wants more, wants to crush to taste to KILL our Jude is a SERIAL KILLER to women he lets go and goes alllll the way with them, he needs that to calm himself and feel normal but then he meets a beautiful petite woman this woman he doesn't want to kill, he wants to SHOCK HORROR Love her, soothe her make her his pet.
Ronnie or as Jude calls her Pet is a nothing, she works in a dive as a waitress but doesn't live she's in a abusive relationship she lives but she has no life, she has bruises and she keeps a low profile. And Jude is addicted to watching her he wants to protect her and he's waiting for that moment for when he can take her.
Donavon Blake is the good ole detective to find the serial killer, he's the mind and he's in this game to find out what the secrets are? the clues? But is he going to get trapped into this whole Cat and Mouse game?
My Thoughts
Again I'm blown away by these authors minds they have done their research and in that I was in Jude's mind this is written in all three perspective's they all play their part. When reading Jude's side I felt slightly sick but at the same time I kinda warmed to him in the end.
Ronnie knows no different I suppose so is leaning on Jude for that support she desperately needs and well she's walked into a murderers hands where will this end? who will get caught? and who will live in the end? that's the question this is a serial about a serial killer!! This is number 1 of how many I can't tell you...
So to sum up
Will I continue to read it? yes I'm intrigued It's an erotic read after all and I'm a slutty reader.
Will I recommend it? Yes definitely to anyone who enjoys intriguing and gripping stories that push those exterior buttons LOL and this is psychological novella so it would be for anyone who likes crime too.
That is all
Now Onto Her Masters Teacher yessssss please!!!!

Well what a refreshing start to this series..
Jude is good looking, suave, rich and he's also a killer...
When he watches Ronnie a girl thats caught his eye working in a diner, something changes for him. He knows nothing about her but he wants her, not in the same way as the others. He wants to keep her, love her, look after her....
“I’d forgotten to get her name again, but at this point it was irrelevant. She would simply become Pet when she came to live with me.”
Ronnie is experiencing her own troubles. In an abusive relationship she see's no escape.
But Jude believes Ronnie can cure him of his desires...needs. He just wants to feel, be normal but the darker side to Jude's life is something he finds hard to control. He enjoys it..he craves it.
Agent Donovan Blake... is a man who is on a mission along with his partner Agent Emily Chase .......he wants to find the Cascades Butcher and quickly. But this proves a lot harder than he first thought.
I really enjoyed this, the writing flowed so well and you would not think it was written by 2 authors. Lily White and Jayden Wikes both have a fantastic interesting style of writing and together they have created a dark compelling and witty story. I loved the dark humour. Jude was an interesting character to say the least. and Agent Donovan Blake well let me just say...he has his own darker issues.
“I don’t like using first names. It’s too personal.”
“You had no problem using my first name last night.” Donovan..
This time I actually managed a smile. “I doubt the term ‘dirty little slut’ counts as use of your first name.”
Loved the start of this serial and can't wait to see where it will go...

I will have her, I just need to devise a plan and she will be mine. My beautiful girl. My pet. My love. Her life will be mine, not to take, but to break and rebuild until she only knows my name, she only breathes my air and she only wants to drink me in, savoring my taste like a fine wine.
This story is so dark and twisted, I am beginning to think I might need help when I finish the books.
Me…her protection. She…my salvation.
Prepare yourself to meet Hot/Insane/Dark/Sick Jude. I dare you

3.5 stars for a deliciously twisted beginning to a series I will be sure to read!
July 22, 2018
5 CHOCKING STARS
Aun estoy en Shok por todas las emociones que me dejo este libro.
La historia esta contada desde 3 diferentes perspectivas: Jude, Roonie y EL Detective Donovan Blak.
La historia es sobre un psicópata - asesino en serie, que se obsesiona con una de sus victimas y El detective que esta tratando de detenerlo.
Es una historia bastante perturbadora, las autoras crearon un gran equipo por que la narrativa que utilizan es increíble. La historia me erizaba la piel, me hiso sentir cosas que pocas veces me ha pasado con algún otro libro.
Las escenas de asesinatos son muy descriptivas, que me ponían la piel de gallina. Literal en una parte del libro me asuste como si estuviera viendo una movie de terror.
Creo que lo mas shocking es las reflexiones que realiza el protagonista, te hacen sentir el personaje bastante real. Te hace sentir que podríamos encontrarnos a algún asesino cualquier día, en cualquier lado.
La protagonista, no tiene nada especial que ofrecer a la historia. Es linda y trabajadora. Pero tiene la peor suerte del mundo.
La otra perspectiva viene por parte del detective que toma el caso del Cascade Killer. No vemos muchos capítulos de el, pero sin duda es un hombre muy inteligente y de dudosa ética. Presiento que tiene algo que ocultar.
Es el primer libro de Lily White que leo, y el tercero de Jaden Wilkes. Para ser un libro colaborativo esperaba que fuera un poco mas largo. Pero entiendo que es serie y solo espero que no tarde mucho en salir el siguiente volumen.
En conclusión: Se los recomiendo si quieren leer algo para salir de su zona de confort, si les gustan las historias de asesinos, violencia, abuso.
Si son sensibles, evítense el mal rato.

Es una historia bastante perturbadora, las autoras crearon un gran equipo por que la narrativa que utilizan es increíble. La historia me erizaba la piel, me hiso sentir cosas que pocas veces me ha pasado con algún otro libro.
Las escenas de asesinatos son muy descriptivas, que me ponían la piel de gallina. Literal en una parte del libro me asuste como si estuviera viendo una movie de terror.
Creo que lo mas shocking es las reflexiones que realiza el protagonista, te hacen sentir el personaje bastante real. Te hace sentir que podríamos encontrarnos a algún asesino cualquier día, en cualquier lado.
La protagonista, no tiene nada especial que ofrecer a la historia. Es linda y trabajadora. Pero tiene la peor suerte del mundo.
La otra perspectiva viene por parte del detective que toma el caso del Cascade Killer. No vemos muchos capítulos de el, pero sin duda es un hombre muy inteligente y de dudosa ética. Presiento que tiene algo que ocultar.
Es el primer libro de Lily White que leo, y el tercero de Jaden Wilkes. Para ser un libro colaborativo esperaba que fuera un poco mas largo. Pero entiendo que es serie y solo espero que no tarde mucho en salir el siguiente volumen.
En conclusión: Se los recomiendo si quieren leer algo para salir de su zona de confort, si les gustan las historias de asesinos, violencia, abuso.
Si son sensibles, evítense el mal rato.

I don't know how I felt about this..
On one hand, I was very intrigued… I had no idea what was going on at the beginning… There's no clear hero in this story… But I kept reading coz it was so damn good and tempting to carry on..
On the other.. I was uncomfortable as hell.. And I didn't want to like it as much as I did..
Ok so Jude…. What the fuck?!
This is guy is fucking delusional.. But I have a feeling that there is waaaay more to him than being a sadistic serial killer…. Or is that me just thinking things?!
Ronnie…. First impressions…. weak… And naive.. hmm.. She faded into the background when it came to Jude + Blake
And Blake…. I thought he was a good guy!!! what the fucking fuck, I was like:
This little unconventional series has definitely captured my interest.. it's not a romance (or I don't think so anyway).. But I will definitely read more :)

****4.5 I Kill To Love You Stars****
A fast pace story of all out addiction to killing so he can feel love.
Jude is a successful business man leading two lives from one side of the rainbow to the other side. One side he keeps up a facade of having a normal life, friends, drinking, successful business, keeping his parents happy. The other side, crazy serial killer. Loving the feeling of taking the beautiful life and feeling her soul escape by his hands.
As his killings continue, they become a necessity as he is obsessed with Ronnie, his Pet, that he has been following and obsessing about for quite some time. One day, his obsession takes a turn and becomes salvation for Ronnie.
She is attacked and brutally raped by her boyfriend. Jude saves her but the lies he must spin to keep her are for her own good...at least that's what Jude believes.
His obsession to his Pet grows deeper and deeper, which also spirals his killings further along and increases his need for his killing release.
"The light in her eyes was to too intoxicating, the way her mouth curled up at the corners when she smiled was too addicting."
One may wonder, why would Ronnie allow Jude to hold her captive, or in his words, protecting her from the outside world. Being an abused woman for so long, she is not really sure what reality should be, so living under Jude's watchful eyes and rules feels peaceful for her.
Their story is going to blow normal love to a bloody death.
Me....her protection. She....my salvation
This 4 book series is going to be intense!! YES YES YES!!

5 "Red Waves of Heat" STARS!
YES! YES! YES! You had me at the word Serial. Absolutely wonderful for twisted minds and lovers of the dark. You don't want to miss this one. Seriously.
WARNING: This is a dark thriller! DON'T read unless you have your Dark panties on. :)
"Killing isn’t about cruelty though. The way I kill is methodical and obviously sociopathic or psychopathic in nature, depending on whose interpretation of serial killers you happen to be reading…but it’s not cruel. I believe I love my victims. Something about each and every one of them calls to me, draws me in and makes me fall in love. I just happen to destroy the things that I love."
I happen to love psychopaths that destroy things, Jude is up there on my list of I love you because your not right list. Yes, I definitely have that list. Let's talk about the story for a minute because you know I don't spoil. We are in Jude's head, I can not tell you giddy that made me. I love being inside the mind of killer. You know you like it too. Anyway, Wiles & Lily definitely researched, did their homework and brought us a FASCINATING STORY! There is more than Jude's perspective, but I'm leaving you to find out, A very interesting FBI agent, and other twists I'm not telling you.
So many claim to write dark but these two built it, nailed it, and buried it. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK! The title is brilliant, I mean, come on, Serial is a serial book. But it didn't feel that way to me, it had more substance than most "Serials." Let's see where this story goes.
#TwistedApproved READ IT!
This is for my Twisted Sisters and Lovers of Dark. Please don't read it if you don't like the dark.
"When I’d come, I’d tightened my grip on her throat and bitten down as hard as I could on her nipple. I’d felt skin give way under my teeth and her neck strain against my force. She’d tried to cry out, from the pain and fear I’m sure, she was beyond orgasm at this point, but she hadn’t been able. All she’d managed was a warm gasp as I’d filled her cunt with my seed. She’d been dead before I’d spurted my last."
FANMOTHERFUCKINGTASTIC!

5 Sick and Delicious Stars
I knew when I heard this book was to be written by Lily White and Jaden Wilkes that it would be sick and twisted.
I NEVER imagined it like this.
This is not for the faint of heart.
If you are looking for rainbows and butterflies then move on.
The pages in this book will not grant you your desire.
Jude has a serious addiction.
He needs to feed that addiction.
It has almost gotten out of control since he met Ronnie.
Ronnie is in a bad situation and tries to hide it.
On the outside she is pleasant.
On the inside is she is slowly being destroyed.
Jude can see right through her.
I can’t go into too much detail without revealing spoilers.
Just know its dark and twisted AND I LOVED IT!!
I am adding Jude to my list of sick, disturbing and sexy bbf.
I am very exciting to see where the rest of this series will go.
I can only imagine that it will get better and better as it goes.
Treats…. That’s all I’m going to say.

This book is total mind fuck. It's dark. very dark. So be very careful when you read this. It has been written carefully keeping the suspense in mind....and it's just the starting. I have no idea where will it go...I can't possibly wait for more to know more about Jude, Ronnie.

Just Another Book Bitch Spoiler Free Review
ARC received for honest review
I have to say this was a great beginning to a series. I love authors Lily White & Jaden Wilkes and was very excited to see them working together. Both authors have a knack for being able to keep me guessing.
Jude is...wealthy...good looking....and a complete psychopath. Even Jude doesn't know the depths he is capable of. What he does know is that nothing gives him more pleasure than watching the life leave a beautiful body. Jude's hunger can only be sated with the spilling of more blood.
Surprisingly, waitress Ronnie catches his eye and stirs an emotion and a need he's unfamiliar with. But the closer he gets to Ronnie the stronger the hunger for blood becomes.
This is a serial, a short read that leaves you on the cusp and wanting more. Because of it's length I find it quite difficult to give you a spoiler free review. I believe with the two authors that we're dealing with any minute detail could very well end up as a spoiler.
This is definitely a book you will want to read for yourself. Then perhaps seek psychiatric help right afterwards for the attraction and lust you will feel towards Jude. Hell maybe we can get a group discount because I believe we will have a HUGE fan club for this series. I don't know where it's going but I believe it's going to be one hell of a ride! We may very well be Dirty, Wet, and a bit Sicker by the time Lily & Jaden are through with us and I for one can't wait!!!

I loved this book. Two of my favorite Authors together. Every readers dream.
I can't wait to get the next book. Jude has me all twisted up. He my be "crazy" but damn if he didn't capture me. He is so difficult to understand yet he's not. I know that doesn't make since but just read the damn book and you will understand.
Poor Ronnie, she has no idea what's ahead of her. I'm scared for her and I wanna be her. Lol. I just want a piece of Jude. The man totally floats MY crazy boat. (I'm odd, I know)
Ok, I'm going to end my review here. I really want to go into details about Jude and his twisted ways but I'm not one for spoilers so I'm going to stop while I'm ahead.
To all my fellow dark lovers.....
Go Read This Book, Now! :-)

Wow! 5 Wickedly-Brilliant-Stars! I dont even know where to begin? ...i loved the way it was written: 3 separate points of view told at the same time, but it was tastefully written. The sex was hot! I even got hot reading about jude jerking off. And when he licked his cum off his hand, i almost fainted! Holy f#%k, it was something i definitely didn't expect. I connect immediately with Ronnie, even though i agree with jude and cant stand both names, Ronnie & veronica. Pet does suit her better. :) I'm not crazy about the name jude,but the way he is portrayed made my panties melt! Lol. I even loved the cop being a sadistic horny f#%k, :) onto book two! :)

Well this didn't get a No from me because of the darkness of the story. It got a no because I found it very boring and I really don't want to get into volumes to find out where this is going.
No big surprise for me, no reveal. a really strange and boring read.

Prepare to have your mind f*cked. Prepare yourself for an ending that will have you begging for more – not because it is overly evil (well, not in comparison to the rest of the book anyway), but because you simply don't want it to end. I promise you will secretly lust after more Jude and his wicked and twisted ways. Lily White and Jaden Wilkes – two queens of darkness with beautifully depraved minds writing a series – it couldn't become anything less than monumental!
SERIAL gives a painful and debauched glimpse into the mind of Jude Hollister. Oh, he is handsome and smart, charismatic and affectionate, a successful businessman – but he is also a natural born serial killer. He isn’t entirely sure why he kills and he knows somewhere deep inside that what he does is wrong, yet he doesn't feel remorse, nor can he stop feeding his addiction – it just feels too good. You may think he does it for the violence or because of hatred, but no, he believes it is about love. He saves beautiful women from withering of age. But it’s different with Ronnie. Ronnie throws him off balance, she captivates him – it downright shocks him that instead of wanting to kill her he wants to know her, protect her and make her his – as his well-groomed pet.
Veronica Lapierre hasn't had much luck in life. She had a tough childhood and is now living in one of the worst areas of town and suffering from the hands of her abusive boyfriend and her poorly paid job as a waitress in a cafe. When she spots Jude in this rundown cafe, she knows this man – handsome, charming and wealthy – is somewhat out of place here, and way out of her league. Yet, she cannot stop envisioning him as her knight in shining armor who comes to save her from this excuse of a life she is living.
But a man like him would never want a girl like her, would he? Her misjudgment could be her end – because you really shouldn't want to draw this man’s attention…
While Jude is indulging his morbid pleasures, the FBI is working on a serial killer case of a criminal called the Cascades Killer. He is evil incarnate that murders beautiful women by slitting her throat and taking a small souvenir afterwards…
This book swallowed me whole… I was lost in morbid fascination that made me devour the story in one sitting. It really is sick and disturbing, still I find myself drawn to Jude despite my efforts to dissociate myself from him, to hate him. Trust me, you will know how I feel when you read it yourself!
I am really curious about where this series is headed – with the FBI added to the mix we surely are in for a hell of a twist! How can Jude’s story with the inconceivable deeds he has done – and still is about to do – ever come to a good end with a clear conscience? With a book written by Lily White and Jaden Wilkes everything is possible – and I’m anxious to find out what they are coming up with next!
SERIAL is violent, intense, brutal… but yes, it’s also erotic. Nothing for the faint of heart. But if you can deal with all that dark stuff, then this one is your next must read! Prepare to have your mind blown away!

Serial, Volume One, by Lily White and Jaden Wilkes
4.5 Disturbingly fascinating stars!
This book gripped me from page one. What a deranged, demented psycho! But I suppose I expect nothing less from Lily White! This book was a collaboration which visibly worked. Lily and Jaden’s flow was perfect. With a trifecta of interesting characters and a story line that had an almost “Dexter” like feel. I WILL say I have a feeling Jude is not the ONLY character in this book that has some issues! What I CLEARLY saw was the trademark Lily sarcasm with a warped twist in Jude’s character. I loved it! What a sarcastic fuck! Jude is a chameleon (if you will) he alters himself according to his environment and who he is surrounded by. He was a certain way while with his family, another way while he was with his old college buddies and yet a different way at work. What I found so fascinating is how brilliant he was in knowing he HAD to adapt and change in order to keep his secret and feed his need. And that’s ALL you are getting out of me! Yeah, I am invested so I'm here for the long haul …bring on the next one!

3.5 stars
This is the first installment in the Serial series by Jaden Wilkes and Lily White. These two authors begin by telling the story of Jude Hollister and they allow you to peak into his twisted mind.
Jude is rich, good looking, and has the world at his fingertips. But it’s just not enough. He’s bored. What began as an accident actually unleashes his deep and very dark desires. How will Jude react though to finding the one girl he wants, not to hurt, but to love. Will he be able to control himself?
Veronica, a/k/a Ronnie has had a rough life. She longs for a way out and what better way than the handsome, wealthy guy who is paying her attention. He can offer her the world, but at what price?
And then there’s FBI agent Donovan Blake. He’s on the hunt for the serial killer and will stop at nothing to catch him. But he has secrets of his own. Will they help or hinder him?
I enjoyed this book and delving into the darkness of Jude’s mind. I wish the book was a little longer and I felt that it was a little rushed at the end. I would have also liked to have learned a little more about Donovan Blake. He certainly intrigues me.

Awesome Mind Blowing Ride! Spoiler free
Lily White and Jaden Wilkes have created a masterpiece. This is a 5 star read! They have woven their style of writing together seamlessly. I could not tell where one author ended and the other began!
Serial throws you into the mind and world of Jude. He is affectionate, caring and a Serial Killer. He understands that killing is wrong, however, he can’t seem to stop lusting after it. His mind and view of the world is straight forward until his chance meeting with Ronnie. She throws him off balance, which could be detrimental to his freedom.
Ronnie is a strong, beautiful and calm soul of a person. She sees Jude as a Knight in shining Armor; however, she doubt’s her appeal to him. This underestimation of her appeal to him could be her undoing.
All the characters in this tale are well constructed and intriguing. Some have their own dark secrets. This is a dark and mind blowing read that will keep you second guessing yourself. You will love to hate Jude.
Where do you run when the safest place is into the arms of the one you should fear the most?

ARC Received ~
This is a hard review to write without giving too much away, Serial is a brilliant read, very refreshing storyline, with the right balance of mystery, darkness , erotica and giggles.
Jude is a complex man, one I would have probably lusted after when meeting him for the first time. He has style, class, money, tons of sex appeal and a dark edge that draws you in.
Ronnie, Veronica his Pet is a sweet down to earth person who has been dealt a shit hand of cards so far in life, she cannot believe her luck when Jude comes into her life.
In serial we also meet many new character's who have a kinky side whilst upholding the law and appearing whiter than white.
No more details from me, hate spoilers, however if you want a new unique read that contains a gripping, fast paced storyline with a dark edge then one click Serial Volume 1
Serial was written by two amazing authors ~ Lily & Jaden have written well together and I am really looking forward to Volume 2 !!!

Jude is a complex man, one I would have probably lusted after when meeting him for the first time. He has style, class, money, tons of sex appeal and a dark edge that draws you in.
Ronnie, Veronica his Pet is a sweet down to earth person who has been dealt a shit hand of cards so far in life, she cannot believe her luck when Jude comes into her life.
In serial we also meet many new character's who have a kinky side whilst upholding the law and appearing whiter than white.
No more details from me, hate spoilers, however if you want a new unique read that contains a gripping, fast paced storyline with a dark edge then one click Serial Volume 1

Oh my God!!! Why did I wait so long to read this???
One killer.
His beautiful obsession.
Two police officers on the hunt.
Jude is rich and handsome but he has a big secret; he is bloodthirsty. His bloodthirst has turned him into a killer. He finds beauty and pleasure in death.
His perfect killing cycle is broken when he meets his Pet. He will do anything to have her.
Agent Donovan is in charge of the Cascades Killer case. He wants nothing more than to catch him. Who will win in this cat and mouse game?
I loved the writing. Just amazing. Very unique style. What I simply adored was that the authors did not give excuses for our killer. There are no triggers, no trauma. He was just born this way.
I cannot wait to see where this goes.
5 Bloody Stars from me!!!!

Oh Wow. Wow...
Not for the faint of heart. This is a dark and twisted look inside the mind of a sick, sick man. His character is written so well you both root for him and want him caught at the same time.
I want to scream through the book at poor Ronnie, aka Pet, to run! Do not trust him!!!! Poor girl has no idea she's being lied to and unknowingly held captive by her "hero", who just so happens to want to feel her hot blood spurt on his face while he slits her throat. Oh, and he loves her. He thinks. LOL
Ah such a good book. It's written so well, it's right at the cusp of being too much, too dark and gruesome. If you can get past some brutally graphic murder scenes you will love this book!

Oh my. Words cannot possibly begin to describe how much I loved this book.
"I believe I love my victims. Something about each and every one of them calls to me, draws me in and makes me fall in love. I just happen to destroy the things I love."
AHHH! Dark and twisted and takes you in the mind of a serial killer. Jude is a true sociopath, but he meets a girl who tests him.
I couldn't put it down! Yes, it's short....but well worth every page!!
Excellent writing style, excellent flow....there's nothing bad about this one!!!
Fellow lovers of the dark and twisted....you will love this one! :)
