Review

As a member of a book club that enjoys a mix of dark romance, fantasy, and what we affectionately call “fluff,” my taste in books has evolved over time. Lately, I’ve been drawn to dark romance, especially the enemies-to-lovers trope. Dolly fits perfectly into this niche, offering a gripping dual POV narrative from the perspectives of Dolly and Ken.

Plot Summary:

Dolly and Ken are prisoners, subjected to unimaginable torment while viewers bid on their fate. Their resilience in the face of such horror is nothing short of miraculous. The story also introduces us to Brian, a police officer whose determination to save Dolly leads him down a perilous path. His journey is fraught with danger, and the cost of his mission is steep.

Character Analysis:

What captivated me most about this book were the characters’ unwavering spirits. Despite the relentless torture, Dolly and Ken refuse to give up. Ken’s promise to Dolly that they will escape and seek justice for their suffering is a beacon of hope in an otherwise dark narrative.

Themes and Content Warnings:

Dolly is filled with twists and turns, and some chapters are not for the faint of heart due to their graphic nature. The book sheds light on the grim realities of human trafficking and exposes the disturbing truth that some of the so-called “good guys” are complicit in these heinous acts for their own twisted desires and financial gain.

Final Thoughts:

Will Dolly and Ken escape their captors? Can Brian find Dolly before it’s too late? You’ll have to read the book to find out. Remember to check the trigger warnings before diving into this intense and thrilling read.
