Title: Not what I'm used to, but definitely where I'm headed

Review: The twists and turns had me reeling. Cali and Rome will have you smiling and riding the edge of your seat. Buckle up kids; is a wild ride.

Dark, twisted, and gruesome, it's just what the devil ordered.

Title: Dark and mouthwatering forbidden
Date: Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2022
Review: Natalie Bennett does not hold back in her 'Badlands' series, and this book is the start of all the dark and forbidden! Written in a time of eat-or-be-eaten (sometimes literally), 'Savages' shows human nature in all their primal forms. A dark, obsessive...love story? Well, love comes in all forms, and sometimes we have to accept that it can be twisted, dirty, and totally drool-worthy! Characters personalities are beautifully intricate, and there are so many questions answered that the reader doesn't even know they exist until they are revealed! I love a good story that is not predictive, and this is it. Beware the triggers and craziness, they are what makes this book (series) so amazing to read!
I originally read on Kindle Unlimited and ended up having to buy the books so I can re-read this series. If you like dark, twisted, unpredictable plot developments, and just plain "WTH did I just read" stories, definitely check this series out!

Review: Holy heck this book is a wild ride. Super, super dark and depraved, with an incredible sense of mystery about what exactly is going on. Can’t wait to see where the story goes.

Title: Natalie Bennett is the Queen of writing amazingly dark twisted stories!
Date: Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2019
Review: I randomly came across Savages on Amazon’s recommendations. The cover intrigue me to click on it and the blurb had me buying and reading it immediately. This was my first time reading anything from Natalie Bennett and also my first time reading anything this dark. I never would have thought I would enjoy something so dark and twisted, but I was blown away by how good it was and couldn’t put it down.

Savages is set in a dystopian type world full of killers, cults, cannibals and much more. Badlands is a part of that world where only the strong survives and anarchy reigns. Romero and Calista are the main characters who both are damaged and broken from the horrible things they have gone through to survive making them deranged, crazy and sick in the head, but also the perfect screwed up couple. Romero is the king of the Savages who rule the Badlands and is also known as the devil and knows as soon as he sees Calista she will be his queen. “She was my beautiful dark mother freaking queen. She was mine” and that’s just a few things about this book. I could go on and write so much more, but amazon won’t let me since there is a limit on how much you can write. This book is full of secrets, surprises and sick twisted things that keep you wanting more, but this book also has triggers so if that’s something you can’t read then this is not the book for you.

I read everyday and blow through books pretty quick since I love reading and even though I read all types of different kinds of books by authors I have and haven’t heard of I still have my list of favorite authors I follow and favorite books/series, but after reading the Badlands series it became my #1 favorite series replacing a series that has been my #1 for years and didn’t think possible to change my mind about until this one day when this big family full of crazy Savages came in and stole my heart. Also stealing #1 is Natalie Bennett as my now favorite author who I’m obsessed with and have now read every single book of hers except maybe one or two that’s on my reading list.
Thank you so much Natalie for all your hard work and time you put in to each book for us fans to enjoy and for introducing us to your world of crazy characters

Title: Rating Range: 3 stars to 4.5 stars; Let Me Explain...
Date: Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2018
Review: Wow, I don't know where to begin. This is a dark story, brutal, painful, yet it works. I am not sure how this story is working for me, only that it is. This review is difficult for me because I feel like I could write two seperate review each with a different rating. If I were to rate this story on the differet aspects (characters, plot, editing, etc.), I would rate is at 3 stars; but rating it as an experience (how it flows, makes me feel, etc.) I would give it 4 or 4.5 stars. Details below.

Rating by breaking down the different elements of the story: 3 stars.

The characters are interesing, broken, but well fitted to each other. The story flows well and keeps me interested in what will happen next; there are a lit of details mussing. I feel like I have been given the bare amount if information to make this story flow/work. The world that is created is dark, gritty, almost post apocalyptic with a cult twist. I have many questions that are not anwsered and feel like I have read the middle section of a story. I am missing the build up, and important plot related details.

Rating as a reading experience: 4.5 stars.

The story both flows and is addictive, before I knew it, the story was over. There are a few scenes that felt like they were written for pure shock value rather then story enhancement, but overall I really enjoyed this story. The characters were interesing and they pulled me into the story. I found myself asking them questions each time they did something, I was involved, participating. I want more of the secondary characters as well.

I am interested in this world and want more, but I have so many questions I am a bit frustrated with the ending... BIG cliffhanger. I was not aware of this and am disappointed it was not better marked. Will I read book two? Yes, eventually; I am not dying to read it the second it is released.

Review: So...I don't really know how I feel, how to review this, but here goes nothing. I knew this was a dark and twisted book going into it, and boy was it! It had me reading about things I have never read about before. The shock value was real. I was really enjoying it (what that says about me, I don't know). About halfway through it got......boring? I don't know how to explain it but it felt repetitive. Like the build up already happened and now it's just, been there done that. I couldn't really connect with the H in the story either. Although I'd like to continue reading to see what happens, I'm going to put this on hold for now.
