Gilded Cages Series: by R. Phoenix

Gilded Cages

This was an insanely unexpected treat. While it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it was mine and I drank that shit down. I may just not be familiar with books like this, but I have never read anything like it.

It was sooo messed up and I freaking loved it. There was an incredible amount of wrongness. Not because of the kinks themselves (Dd/lb & pet play), but because of the situation surrounding said kinks.

Very well written and for someone who usually is a slow reader I inhaled this. I felt so bad for Zay (male lead 2) and Cammy (male lead 1), but I am really hoping for more Daddy/Master (male lead 3) backstory. This was just so freaking crazy and good

I read through this thing in less than 24 hours which is pretty much unheard of for me. This picks up right where Gilded left off, however I did read the bonus chapter “Pony” before starting (which you can get by signing up for R. Phoenix’s newsletter) because Zay does mention it at the start of this story.

The psychological factor of these books was incredibly intriguing to me and the way Daddy/Master had the capability to manipulate their minds was actually kind of sad, however knowing that Cammy and Zay had each other was incredibly sweet. This was a ride for sure.

I do wish we could have seen Master/Daddy’s story. I am so curious what made him the way he was if there was a reason. It was almost hinted at during the last chapter and I’m still holding out hope for a third book. It did on end odd note, not very definitive. I would have almost classified it as an HFN if were a romance (which it’s not). I had an absolutely amazing time reading these. Since becoming an author my ability to become consumed by a story has nearly vanished, but every once and a while a story will do me in and this was one of those.
