Blurb: This book is the final episode of Season One.

It’s a new night and that means more of Théoden’s lessons, one of which I was still recuperating from. I was so out of control last night and if my current physical condition is any indicator, my brothers definitely had their way with me. As far as my relationship with Théoden goes, I can’t help but feel drawn to him. I feel as though he’s accepting me as I’m accepting him in some morbid way. I don’t know… maybe it’s because I know I don’t have any choices. There’s no way out for me. I’m his and we both know it. Maybe there’s still some fight left in me, some little nugget of Noel the man that hasn’t been consumed by Noel the vampire. One can hope. I do know that this night feels different, like I’m coming to the last lap of a long, rigorous race. What is to become of me when this night comes to an end?

Review: Acceptance, Book #6, in the Chained in Darkness series, and the final installment in Season 1, brings Noel full circle exposing him to many elements of his new life. He has been tortured, raped, humiliated, torn from limb to limb, and finally branded after a long journey of lessons that bring him front and center to, the ultimate goal, and acceptance. He has been accepted by Théoden, his Master, and Father, and by all of his brothers in the house, at last.

Leading up to this moment, Noel has been subjected to many horrendous acts. Some he didn’t understand, at the time, but were finally starting to make sense. As Théoden takes Noel out, once again, into the outskirts of town, he will learn some valuable lessons as to what it means to be a vampire. A vampire that is feared and above all, commands authority.

Noel tries hard to hold onto what little human compassion he has but to no avail. He understands what will happen by not completely accepting his role as a soldier in Théoden’s house. What seems to bother him and weighs heavily on him is the thrill he gets when hunting for blood, quenching his desires by other males and lusting heavily for them. As Théoden has told him many times, it is his nature, his true self, accept him, and revel in it.

The final lesson Noel will have will be one that diminishes his spirit. He must make amends with Jonah. He must accept him as his brother. He will share desires with him and vice versa. Trying to hold onto what little rebellion he has left, he outright defies this order. And, he pays dearly for this mistake. He has learned the error of his ways. To continue to defy Théoden, on anything, will only cause him to suffer. This is a fight he will not win.

He demanded a lot of me and I’d risen to the challenge each time, killing my victims, fucking them under duress and being debased by anyone he wanted to share me with. But taking the life of a child…once was more than enough to open my eyes. Then when he’s combined his other torture methods, well…let’s just say that I know my limits. I didn’t before, but now I do and he knows them, too.

As Season 1 comes to a close with Acceptance, you realize the potential for what still lies unanswered. The author has brilliantly, through 6 books, given us an inside look at the world and life that Noel, unbeknownst to him, at the time, found himself caught in. We have watched his struggle with guilt and uncertainty of his future. We stood on the sidelines as he was beaten to a pulp and tossed aside like yesterday’s garbage. Each time he miraculously fought back with abandon and won the respect of his brothers and most of all his Sire.

Nicholas Bella has held my attention throughout this entire series. There are still many things left to explore and I can’t wait to see what the next season will have. The author’s ingenuity speaks for itself with the world building he has outlined in this series. Each installment was executed effectively and efficiently giving us an inside seat to an arena full of sex, desire, greed, pain, and ultimately power.

What Noel will have to do with the power he now holds, I can only guess, but I can’t wait to see where the author takes us next. Until Season 2…Thank you Nicholas for one hell of a ride.

Blurb: My punishment at the hands of Theoden left me with wounds that scarred me to my core. That man has struck the fear of God into me and I don’t know how to fight back. I don’t know if I can. I feel like he’s taking over who I was and making me into something he wants me to be. His slave and his disciple. I do know that I’m his property. His child, his blood runs through my veins and with it comes something so powerful that it consumes me in every way. He plans on teaching me what that means and I don’t know who I’ll be at the end of his lessons.

Reviewer: KathyMac

Review: Lessons, Book 3 in Nicholas Bella’s, Chained in Darkness, series picks up where Punishment, Book 2, left off. After finishing Punishment and knowing Lessons would be next, I was little apprehensive as to what “lessons” Noel would have to suffer through. And, make no mistake, he has suffered, extensively. His only saving grace, at this point, is he heals almost immediately from his torture (One of the perks of being a vampire). In Noel’s mind, he IS being tortured, he’s being humiliated, and he is definitely being made an example in front of the others.

Most of us know vampires thrive and survive with blood as their potent nectar and lifeline. And while that is also true here, Noel, and the others, also needs semen. Specifically Théoden’s, as his has powerful properties that will electrify and energize your whole body. So…what lessons will Noel be taught? He makes it quite clear he is not happy about his situation. He is confused, mentally and physically, seeing his body and more to the point, his manhood, respond fervently as he watches and listens to those around him having sex.

Théoden continues to be the evil, sadistic, bastard and takes great pleasure in making Noel an example to his “brothers.” It doesn’t matter to him that Noel is an unwilling participant. His displeasure is voiced loud and clear, when Noel tries to thwart his commands.

“Suck it, you filthy fucking bitch!” Théoden growled as he shoved his hips forward.

I felt like I couldn’t breathe, and I knew I didn’t need to, but I was too used to the sensation of breathing not to panic at this point. I pressed my hands on Théoden’s thighs, trying to rise up. He snatched me off his cock, lifting my head up, and slapped me hard across the cheek then spit in my face. I recoiled as his hot, slimy saliva slid down my lips and cheek. It was so fucking disgusting and degrading. I knew that’s why he did it.

“Open your mouth!” He ordered.

Since his blood now flows through Noel, he knows him better than Noel knows himself, or at least what he is willing to admit. Noel will become nothing other than a dumpsite for his fellow vampires as they use him, relentlessly, to pleasure themselves.

Whether Noel learns anything from this lesson, and I’m not convinced he has, he does learn something about himself. His taste buds are getting quite the workout and he finds he rather likes the explosions of flavor. (Use your imagination. you’ll probably be right, lol)

“It’s time that you accept what you are, Noel. This is a part of your life now, get used to it or suffer.” Théoden looked at Bruce and nodded.
Bruce slid back down, squatting over my face. “There’s no time like the present, let me feel that sweet tongue, boy.”

Noel may be held by forces he doesn’t understand but his fiery attitude continues to show. He may go along with Théoden’s demands, but he doesn’t have to like it. But, is that really the case? Is it possible Noel enjoys, ummm, drinking, and swallowing, the vampires nectar? His brothers enjoy, immensely, taking their pleasure from Noel. They force him to do things to them that repulse him to his core.

Their sexual deviances have no boundaries as they put Noel through his lessons. Noel realizes he is at their mercy, to be used and abused, as they see fit. However, could it be that Noel is more humiliated with the actions of his body than the act itself?

As the author continues to warn us, (see up there^^) I continue to read, anyway. I need to know what is coming next and if Noel will continue to fight or give in. As with the first two novelettes, the author doesn’t cut corners or spare the details. Lessons, for me, was an easier read, (Noel notsomuch, heh), out of the three, so far. His lessons were not as painful as his punishment, but still hard on Noel, just the same.

I’m afraid to assume, however, that things are beginning to lighten up. I see traces, small glimpses, of Théoden maybe, MAYBE, having some compassion, but then again I’m sure it’s just my wishful thinking. Nicholas, also, includes more of the cast in this story giving us an inside view of what Noel is up against.

The “brothers” all connected together through Théoden, his blood and semen, are an intriguing bunch. They are egotistical, loud, brutish, and very vocal, finding their own pleasure, and shouting explicitly, for the others. Each one will use Noel as the instrument in achieving their release.

I haven’t changed my opinion that somewhere through this journey I will love Théoden. He’s evil, volatile, and temperamental. And, in his defense, he is consistent with his warnings, doesn’t waiver on his punishments, and deep down, way down, I think he wants Noel to succeed, to give in, and enjoy his new life. Only time will tell and one reason why I am compelled to see it through.

Submissions, book 4, is up next and I can only wonder if Noel will submit willingly or continue to hold strong with his convictions. Hopefully, by now, Noel has gained enough insight to go along with Théoden and if nothing else, to at least keep his mouth shut. But, what would be the fun in that?

Blurb: As I awaken to this new night, I have no idea what Theoden has planned for me. I know there are more lessons he wants to teach me… I just don’t know how painful… or how pleasurable they will be. I do know that I’ve given into Theoden in ways that I’d never thought I would.

Not only that, but he’s made me feel… pleasure unlike anything I’d ever experienced. I want to resist him, I need to resist him, but I’m finding it nearly impossible to resist him. His hold over me is stronger than my will to fight him and with each passing day, I know that I’m losing this battle.

On top of personal experiences, I’m discovering secrets the human world never knew. I’m beginning to understand why the humans lost the war and how insignificant my rebellion actually was. This realization has been the cruelest lesson of all.

Reviewer: KathyMac

Review: Control, book 5, in Nicholas Bella’s Chained in Darkness series brings new characters that leave you yearning for more information. You, also, see Noel with a new attitude about the pleasures he gives and receives. I think he is finally succumbing to his new way of life. Most of the time.

Never, in a million years, did Noel ever see himself in the position or situation he is in now. Théoden, as well as, his vampire brothers told him he would come to love everything in his new life if he would just stop fighting it. Of course, being straight didn’t help to alleviate the feelings he was starting to have.

Once Noel was able to submit and realize his place in the house, he became a new person. Oh, he still has his moments of defying his Master. He wouldn’t be Noel if he didn’t. However, through his torturous training, something he doesn’t want to fall victim to again, he is beginning to think before he speaks.

Théoden is proud of how his boy is coming along. He can see he is really making an effort to fit in and instead of disciplining him in his moments of forgetfulness, he just shakes his head probably laughing at his expense. Don’t think for a second that Théoden wouldn’t knock his ass across the room if he displeased him because he would and will.

Noel is headed with his Master for a night out. Dressed in leather and ready for what lies ahead this will be the first chance Théoden has at showing off his boy. I think it is also a test for Noel to see how well he behaves in a different atmosphere and around different people.

When Noel sees Tylendel, a very powerful dragon, he is taken back by the feelings and thoughts he is having. He surprises himself that he is lusting so heavily for him. And, wow…is he ever. Théoden’s purpose for taking Noel to the Interloper where Ty hangs out is so his boy can get all the pleasures and desires from this dragon. Noel knows there is no blood connection but he feels something very strongly, where Ty is concerned.

I was still sitting on my knees, speechless and not even really knowing what to say. I wanted to think certain thoughts, but I didn’t want to piss Théoden off. I hated that I felt like a shell of my former self. Still, even in the midst of all that emotion, I was aroused by their presence. My cock throbbed with anticipation of them having their way with me, my body yearned for it. For the pleasure of being taken, possessed…fucked hard.

Noel completely submits to Theo and Ty for their pleasure to be used anyway and every way they see fit. He cannot get enough of either one. His thirst for sex is insatiable. Noel is in lust heaven and he loves every minute of it. This is a big change for Noel, but don’t stop, please.

As each book is released, the author continues to move the story further, exploring many facets of Noel, Théoden, and the many cast of characters that make up this addicting series. Through his imagination and creativity, Nicholas Bella, continues to captivate me with his words.

This series won’t be for everyone. The author makes that more than clear in his warnings on every book released. The torture is extreme, the sex is raw and graphic, but there is a well thought out plot that continues to move forward that begs you, the reader, to see where this will go.

Blurb: I lay here, exhausted and more confused than when my night first started. I’ve just discovered something else about myself that I wish wasn’t true. Not only do I have to feed on the blood of humans, I’ve also found out that I need the “essence of a man” as Theoden called it, in order to survive.

If that isn’t enough on my plate, I know Theoden wants to break me down even more. He won’t be happy until he’s taken every part of me that wants to fight him and crushed it under his foot. He wants me to submit to him and I only pray that I can resist his hold over me.

Reviewer: KathyMac

Review: Submission, book 4, in Nicholas Bella’s, Chained in Darkness series continues with Noel not only learning his place as a vampire but also accepting that he is, in fact, a vampire for life. Théoden continues driving the lessons home, urging him to come to grips with his fate. Noel, for no other reason than pride alone, continues to fight a losing battle. He also makes a couple of discoveries in this installment that have been weighing on his mind.

Théoden, with help from the brothers, will finally show Noel just what it means to be with a man, or in his case a male vampire. Théoden takes great pleasure teaching Noel the rules of submission. They all will have their time, learning the ins and outs (pun intended) of Noel. It will be one of the hardest things, to date, with the vampires, for Noel to admit that he likes this lesson. It doesn’t matter whether he admits it to himself because Théoden demands him to tell all how much he is enjoying their unions.

“Before this night is out, you will be begging to cum. And do you know what?”

I sighed as I arched against him. “What Master?”

“I’m going to let you. Do you know why?”

“No, Master.”

“Because you will have earned it. You will submit to me tonight, Noel.” He rested his chin on the top of my head, chuckling. “Oh I know. I don’t even have to read your thoughts to know that you think you’re strong enough to fight against me. But you’re wrong. You will give into us all and you’ll love every second of it.”

Even though submission has its good points, for vampires, there are still quite a few things that Noel is having trouble grasping. He doesn’t like to feed from humans, knowing the outcome, but realizes he can’t survive without them. He still has a very strong dislike for Jonah, the double-crossing weasel, but most of all, his private thoughts are no longer private.

Another mystery out in the open is what type of vampire Théoden is. This will go a long way into explaining why he is so powerful and demands respect. One thing is certain, however, he will concede and admit defeat or be severely punished. And trust me, his punishment is brutal, extremely harsh, and very effective with its intent.

“Yes, that’s it, Noel…enjoy it. Revel in the pleasure and power of your brothers. Submit to us and take your place among my children. This is what you were meant for, this greatness. My children and I are the elite of the vampire legion. We hold the superior echelon among our kind. I chose you out of so many who’d do anything to be sired by me. I chose you because I saw something in you, Noel. Something worthy and I want you to accept that you belong here with us.”

Submitting is inevitable unless he dares to challenge Théoden. Even Noel understands how detrimental that could be. I’m sure he will still find reasons to disagree and put up a fight for his own sanity, but I do think he is getting to a place that will offer him respite and some calm. Whether that calm will be before a storm, I don’t know.

I do know that Nicholas Bella has changed my outlook with group activities by writing some very intense, raw, filthy, and graphic sex scenes that were very H.O.T. Each time they have sex, their feelings and abilities become that much stronger. Noel is finally seeing that sex with a man is not only enjoyable but also very gratifying in several ways.

Nicholas Bella continues to hold my attention with his series and I eagerly anticipate what will come next. There was a lot of sex in Submission but it was relevant for Noel to understand the importance of not only semen but to bond with his brothers. The author writes a very descriptive narrative that demands no less than your full attention.

Even though there are parts that are hard to read, there are just as many with humor that will have you laughing aloud. Noel has been dealt a pretty rough hand but he is coming to accept that this is his life. Which prompts me to remember the saying, “It’s better to fuck than fight” something that Noel will surely attest too.

Control is up next and the title gives some clues as to what to expect. In this installment, we got a glimpse of the back history to Théoden and his bloodline. I am eager for that part of him to show its face. If you are reading this and have not read the first three, it is imperative to read in order. I strongly recommend this series if you are not squeamish, like your sex scenes to be hot and plentiful, and may or may not include a bite to the neck. Or other sensitive places.

Blurb: My worst nightmare has come true. I’m one of them now, a monster… the very thing I fought against. If that wasn’t bad enough, I’ve been sired by one of the most powerful, sadistic and calculating vampire Lords in the city, Theoden. It’s just the beginning of my new life, hell, I’m not even one night old as a vampire and already I wish they had decided to kill me instead of turn me. I guess this was my punishment for rebelling against them. They’re clever that way. Theoden has promised to punish me for every offense I’ve made against him and I have no idea what’s in store for me. I do know that it won’t be pleasant. My night of pain and torment is just beginning.

Reviewer: KathyMac

Review: Punishment, Book 2, Chained in Darkness series, by Nicholas Bella, is exactly as the title says. Please read the warning above from the author before you start reading this series. Book 2 starts off where Embraced finished and with Noel recognizing he is in way over his head. The author doesn’t pull any punches with Théoden’s displeasure of Noel when he constantly seems to defy him. I don’t think Noel is doing it on purpose, well…most of the time, I think he is having a hard time grasping the situation he is in. Noel, as a human, was straight with no sexual interest toward another male. Now, as a vampire, he is getting turned on by Theoden, and his handling of him. All of this is new to him and he doesn’t understand why it is happening.

Theoden laid the rules out and went over his dislikes, what he would not tolerate, and his expectations with Noel. He is firm and does not waiver when Noel displeases him. So, what is a Master to do when his pet doesn’t listen? He is punished and quite severely.

Theoden is a sadistic vampire and has no compassion whatsoever. Your heart really breaks for Noel because he has no choice in what is happening. He is whipped, tortured, and humiliated in the worst way. He will face off with Jonah, the backstabbing weasel and the reason Noel is in this situation.

Noel’s punishment seems never ending. Theoden promised to punish him for every offense against him and he more than delivers. He puts him through many different forms of torture. The more that is handed out, the more Theoden flourishes. He brandishes the crop with force and speed and does not let up until the air is gone from Noel’s lungs and his throat is raw from screaming.

Will Noel resign to his fate and relinquish all control over to Theoden? I don’t know, but I think the prospect of accepting what is now his new life is coming closer and closer. His punishment is extreme even for the smallest offences. He is having a hard time conforming to the demands and expectations that is required of him but with each new punishment he is quickly learning that giving in is looking better and better.

Honesty and trust are two things Theoden expects and in any normal situation that is not too much to ask. But for Noel, right now – at this moment, giving those two things freely is incomprehensible.

“Excellent. Honesty really is one of the main foundations for building a relationship. Trust is another. You can trust me to take care of you, but also, you can trust me to punish you when you disobey me. You will most likely be in pain from that solution until tomorrow night, deal with it. We have one more punishment to administer.” Theoden walked over to me, stepping over my putrid mess and caressed the top of my head as if he were petting a dog. “I would much rather enjoy the flesh of my boys, my children than torture it. Oh, make no mistake, my little Bitch. I do enjoy torturing, but there is a difference. You see, there’s pain like what you’re experiencing now, and that is necessary…and then there is pain that you will come to enjoy.”

Through his pain and punishment Noel is slowing conforming to the ways of his Master. This form of punishment is something he does not want to live through again. Learning to think before he speaks will certainly work in his favor. However, one of the few things Theoden likes about him is his spirit and smart mouth. And…No, Theoden doesn’t like him at all. If he does, which at this point I’m not sure, he hides it well.

The more Noel reigns in his attitude, you see small fragments of concern and possibly understanding from Theoden. It makes you think that in time they could be real lovers with pleasure and desire. At the same time, I keep thinking maybe that is what I want to happen so I’m picking up things not really there. Time will tell for sure and I am definitely going to keep reading to see. I must admit that not knowing where this is heading or the direction it will take it just as addictive as the words the author has written. The situation is turbulent at best but that’s part of what makes it so enticing.

Nicolas Bella continues to hold me captive with his words just as Theoden holds Noel with chains. The dialogue is brutal at times to read, yet necessary. The author holds nothing back and makes it quite clear what to expect. The punishment is horrific but now that Noel is a vampire, healing happens immediately. A small consolation that you can’t help but hang onto.

The story line continues to flow seamlessly and the author has outlined this series with each novella. If you take the time to check out the author’s Amazon page or his website, he gives us a glimpse of things to come. Lessons, Book 3, is up next and I can’t help but think that Noel will have many to learn.

I’m honestly looking forward to the time when Noel relinquishes all control over to Theoden, if he does. Will they flourish together or am I just wishful thinking? I can’t answer that yet but I still haven’t given up on Theoden. For some reason, I still feel as though I’m going to love this evil, sadistic bastard. 😛
