The Masks and the Dancer

Their Obsession, Book 2

By: Bea Paige

Narrated by: Zara Hampton-Brown, Gregory Salinas

The Masks
We kidnapped her. She was our revenge. She fought against our darkest desires. She shone a light on our pitch black souls.

She became our mirror. She made us see.

And what do monsters do when they stare at their reflection? They break the f--king glass.

The Dancer
They kidnapped me. I was their vengeance. They used and abused me, they degraded and humiliated me.

But I fought back.

I held up the mirror. I made them see. Only for them to shatter it into a million pieces. And what does a girl like me do to the men who break her?

She cuts the b*stards and makes them feel.

This is dark captive/kidnap reverse harem romance, which contains graphic sex scenes, non-con and dub-con, violence, and other subject matter that some may find triggering. This story will have a HEA, but of course it will be hard won.

All around great story

I loveeeeeeed this story! Some parts had me choking up because of the character's backstory and their arc in the story. I can't wait to dive into 13's story next!

I was gripped, shattered and put back together ❤️

Finally we have the end of Christy, Leon, Jakub and Konrad’s story! (This book is the second part of the duet. It can’t be read as a standalone).
The audiobook is narrated in dual by Zara Hampton-Brown & Gregory Salinas.

This is a haunting, beautifully chaotic story that explores the limits of love and redemption in a world built on suffering.
It’s not an easy read. It’s brutal, emotionally exhausting, and sometimes uncomfortable.
And I loved every second of it.

Fabulous

Academy of Stardom leads into this series. There's a lot of other series that intertwine with this one. I personally didn't like the first series that ties into this one so start with Stardom! Stardom and The Masks were awesome!

Captivating emotional story

All about broken souls finding their path to redemption. It is not a love story but a tale of resilience, focusing on a foursome relationship. Although not similar, it resembles Sadie Kincaid with Ryan’s brothers.
Narration is dual with an outstanding performance

Captivating

I loved both books in this series. The characters are well developed and the voice actors did well portraying them.
