Synopsis

Blake: I am a brother I am a police detective I am a contract killer I don’t want to love I don’t want to feel I don’t want … EMPATHY. They say some people are born with decreased activity in the front central lobe causing them a deficiency in empathy. Maybe that’s true about me but whether I was born this way or created in a moment of evil, empathy was something I didn’t possess until her green eyes met mine in the mirror and I couldn’t take her life. I didn’t want to feel, didn’t want this woman in my life complicating how I lived but she was there at every turn. Sent to haunt me for my sins. Her light so bright she provoked a shadow from everyone she touched. When a job turns bad quickly altering my life forever I’m forced to feel. When nothing is making sense I’m forced to face truths I never would recover from. When life drowns you in its cruelty you don’t know which way the current will drag you or who you’ll become once you re-surface. Melody: I was a daughter I was a student I was a victim Did I have his love? Did I make him feel? Did I have his empathy? When the actions of a soulless killer forces sorrow into my veins I never dreamed the man healing my wounds would be the one to leave the worst scar. His love would scar my soul. Scars are permanent; I will never feel the relief from them. Will I learn to live with them, remember why I have them and learn never to let him close enough to inflict more? Will I eventually cover them… like tattoos coating them with new memories, new love and new starts? I didn’t know these answers because the pain was too suffocating, the only thing I knew was they will always be under the surface lingering. He had scars too, from his sins. There is nothing that can cover them, they were too deep, too ugly, too dark and they marked us both forever

Review--->
The Empathy Series - 5 stars Ker Dukey Empathy Desolate Vacant (An Empathy Novela) Ooooooooh k … So I found this series by accident when I was swooshing around Tracy’s blog as I do stalking her quite frequently. The series was published in August of 2014 BUT if you have not been introduced to this author .. um … you should go get these books right now. They are FREE if you have a Kindle Unlimited subscription. Ok .. Moving on .. I really don’t even know where to begin here. This was my very first book by Ker Dukey. – and good lawd I have been missing out. Let me WARN you though. This is a very dark, intense and not easy on the stomach series. It seems my brain has become twisted as I have fallen in love with books swirling around in torment and desire. The story is told from three different perspectives, Blake, Ryan, and Melody. I can't tell you too much without spoilers. Blake is the character that sucks you in, I was intrigued to say the least. He's empty; a professional killer without emotion. The way he's written is phenomenal. I wanted to stay in head. He is all kinds of messed up but with good reason. At the age of 18 his life changed forever. He has demons that live within him. He feels nothing after his kills turning right back into to his daytime job of being a detective. Ryan is Blake's brother. He's one scary a** man, he's a complete mystery, and petrifying. The story is written so that you are directly linked to his mind but you have no idea what he's up to. He's closed off much like his brother, empty and although his brother saved him; he feels absolutely nothing towards him. Ryan, as you move through all three books will completely screw with your mind. And then we meet Melody, the all American good girl from a wealthy family. Her world completely shatters upon returning home one evening at the request of her mother. Melody and Ryan meet in a class after Ryan is confronted by some jock classmates baiting him; calling him a freak as Ryan chooses to not speak, look or interact with anyone .. ever .. until Melody. Something about Melody makes him tick. Blake runs into Melody by accident on campus when coming to find Ryan and she stirs the same feelings in Blake. Who is this beautiful eyed girl that seems to be able to tame the beast within him. I devoured this in one sitting, this story grabbed me and didn't let go. The character development was spot on, the writing was engaging. The plot, the twists, left me totally flabbergasted. And then I did the same with Desolate as well as Vacant. You wont believe what happens in the short novella. I was banging on my kindle for more pages to turn and they just didn’t come. Im telling you this is one sweet, sick gruesome and twisted love fest of words on pages sucking into a deep sinister depth resembling hell. ITS SOOO GOOD! You cannot read the books out of order or skip one but you wont want to. Im sick and these books made me question my sanity in loving them and the characters as I did. But as I always say .. isn’t that why we read? Please go get these books if you like this genre … and dear god help you as you are snatched into the evil and disturbing lives of these three characters. I have issues …. LOL!
