Caged in Darkness (Caged Duet Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Amy Thorn (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars 255 ratings
ISAAC

Getting kicked out of the army was the worst day of my life. I never thought I'd find direction again, until my brother suggested I prospect for the Black Death Riders Motorcycle Club. I wanted brotherhood, loyalty, and respect. I didn't expect to find him. Thanatos. He's the devil on a steel horse and I'm falling for him. He has demons, a darkness caging him that I can't break through. If I'm not careful, he might drag us both into the abyss.

THANATOS

Ever since my sister was killed, I've been on a path of self-destruction. They don't call me after Death for no reason. I've slain more men than I can count, and I did it with a smile. I'm broken, destroyed, living in torment and I don't deserve one moment of happiness—until Isaac walks into my life, and I find I want all of that and more.

But my path of destruction has put my club on the radar of people who will kill us all without a second thought. I never considered the consequences of my war with them, until Isaac got in their path. Now, the only good thing I've ever had in my life might be taken from me, and there's nothing I can do about it.

*Warning : Contains adult content, reading age 18 +. Graphic violence and dark emotional scenes that may trigger some readers.

    I'm reviewing these two books together because you can't read one without the other.

    This duet was amazing. I could not put it down. Than and Isaac are both damaged, maybe beyond repair but they burn bright for each other. Than doesn't want to and Isaac doesn't hide what he wants.

    When Isaac is taken Than's feelings change. Isaac and Than have to fight to get back to each other, mentally and physically. It's a battle but in the end they're exactly who the other needs. Seriously amazing duet!!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Revenge and Trauma in the World of the Black Death Riders MC
    Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2021
    When Isaac was discharged from the Army, his life lost meaning. With no brothers in arms to fight alongside and protect, Isaac drifted. When his brother, Ethan, offered to sponsor him as a prospect in the Black Death Riders Motorcycle Club, Isaac saw it as his chance to find brotherhood and family again. But life in this MC isn’t a part time job and soon Isaac finds himself in the middle of a different kind of war. As the Black Death Riders go after a rival syndicate, Isaac fights his feelings for the MC president, Thanatos. Than has too many demons and too many enemies to risk having feelings for Isaac, but when neither one can hold back anymore, Than and Isaac will put their love and their lives on the line for a chance at something they never thought they’d get again.

    Caged in Darkness is the first book in a duology by Amy Thorn. I absolutely loved this book, but I will warn you now: this first book in the duology ends on a major cliffhanger. If cliffhangers aren’t your thing, I would definitely suggest waiting until the second book, Caged in Fire, is released before attempting this one.

    Overall, I thought Caged in Darkness was a very well done book. There’s emotion, action, past traumas, and healing, all set in a dark world full of revenge. I really enjoyed the setting; it was modern London, but it was dark and gritty and seedy. I also found the plot to be a bit more unique than the standard motorcycle club novels I usually come across; instead of MCs staking claim and warring against each other, I loved that Thorn had Thanatos and his MC warring against a crime syndicate. While their methods weren’t usually on the legal side of the law, the Black Death Riders MC were out to right wrongs and shut down the horrible things going down in dark alleys and abandoned buildings. They, especially Thanatos, saw themselves as the bad guys, but it was definitely not that black and white. Isaac was a great character, especially to act as a complement and a foil to Thanatos. While Than became battle-hardened on the streets, Isaac is haunted by his time in Afghanistan. Both are alphas in their own right, and those competing personalities made for some great tension on the page. Both main characters were wonderfully developed; with troubled pasts, both Isaac and Thanatos came across as tough and vulnerable, especially when it came to love and letting someone in.

    There are mentions of, and flashbacks to, war, trauma, and severe feelings of guilt, but I think Thorn wrote it well while her characters approached it with sensitivity. The plot was action packed from start to finish, and I wish the second book in the duology was out while I write this because I really need to know what happens after Caged in Darkness ends.

    3.0 out of 5 stars A good start to the duet
    Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2021
    'll be honest and admit that I decided to read this book mostly because of that cover. Phew! And yes, the blurb caught my attention too, but mostly the cover.

    2.5 stars rounded up

    I actually liked Than. Yes, he had his demons. Yes, he resorted to violence to silence them. Yes, that needed to stop. He was a troubled man who let guilt overrun his life. It was obvious that he had never found an incentive to heal/get over some of his emotional wounds/turmoil. So of course, when Isaac comes crashing into his life he finds himself unable to accept the future he represents.

    As for Isaac, he was a great character too. Like Than, he had his demons and thought that belonging to "something" would keep him from drifting deeper into their abyss. Unfortunately for him, he ended up between a rock and a hard place--fiercely attracted to the one man in the Mc whose demons ruled his entire life and having to prove his worth within the Mc and getting himself in one big jam.

    The problem with stating a book is a "Dark Romance" is that I go in expecting an actual dark romance. I've read my share and have enjoyed them immensely so of course, my expectations are high when I dive-in into the story. I enjoyed the Mc universe the author brought to the page, the secondary characters and the overall conflict. I didn't mind the gory details, the violence that made it to the page or the ones referenced. I think they all helped to paint a vivid picture of the world Isaac and Than chose to live in. I didn't even mind the cliffhanger! Unfortunately, what didn't work for me was the romance. It wasn't as great a read as I though it would be and I didn't become invested in it as much as I expected.

    I was expecting Than and Isaac's journey to be rough and I got some of that but to me this all felt a bit too insta-lovish for a true dark romance. We got the emotional whiplash, the violence, the gritty descriptions of the kind of life they led, but I didn't get enough of the connection these two shared-- the actual development of a romance. Shared emotional instability does not a lasting connection make. At least not for me. Maybe it was more of a "me" problem, IDK. I understood Than's inner struggles. The war between the guilt he allowed himself to feel and these "new" feelings he was having for Isaac. But IMHO, when these inner monologues become repetitive (and I mean REPETITIVE!) it takes away from the impact they may have on the reader. Personally, I ended up skimming through these parts--a lot. In Issac's case, I wasn't as convinced as he was of the connection he shared with Than. Within a couple of day of meeting him, some heated glances and a steamy exchange he's already declaring that Than owns him--body and soul. I'm sorry, I can't. Nope.

    I'm still reading the next installment in the duet because I'm eager to know how the author is going to tie all these loose ends together. I'm hoping that the romance element is developed to its fullest and that Than and Isaac's connection gains enough growth to make their romance viable to me.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Stemy age-gap, MM, MC romance
    Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2021

    Caged in Darkness combines the most addictive tropes: MC, military, MM, instant attraction, and age gap, all wrapped in darkness. This book is steamy and the beginning is pure perfection. It simply lures you in and leaves you craving for more.

    It takes place in London and the descriptions are so on point that you can almost visualize it. Amy Thorn created a brilliant story full of breadcrumbs, guaranteed to make you turn page after page. Broken and flawed characters that are perfect in their imperfection. Thanatos is the president of the Black Death Riders MC. He is full of rage, commanding, and oozes power. No one contradicts him or gets in his way.

    Isaac is lost after being discharged from the Army. So when his brother sponsors him to be a prospect for the Black Death Riders, he seizes the opportunity. He has demons of his own. The last he expects when he finally feels part of something is to be attracted to his boss.

    Than and Isaac's interactions are primal yet complex. They share their vulnerability once the door is closed, and it's mesmerizing. And when they finally are getting somewhere, the book ends. Yes, there is a cliffhanger. But it's so worth it because this story is phenomenal.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Beginning of dark duet
    Reviewed in Canada on October 8, 2021

    Two warnings:
    One: This book is a very dark mm romance
    Two: This is book one of a duet that is one story
    Now that you have read those and presumably are interested in reading a story like this I will tell you that I loved this book. I enjoy reading dark stories if I am in that kind of mood. Luckily I was in that kind of mood when this story came out and the nexts book followed quickly after it. Amy Thorn has a delightfully devious type of mind which shows up in the writing of this duet. She is also able to make what would usually be “bad guy” characters likable. Not too likable mind you as they still do a lot of really bad things. I think that is part of why I like to read this type of book sometimes because I would never approve of this kind of person in real life. Totally escapist literature and totally fun.

    I've been looking forward to this for so long now as it's 2 of my favourite genres together.. MM and MC whats not to love about these being combined!
    Thanatos is President of the MC.. hes very alpha.. strong.. independent and used to getting his own way.
    So what will happen when new Prospect Isaac rocks up the family and starts to make him actually start to feel things he hasn't for a long time?
    Isaac joins the MC after leaving the army so is also strong.. Alpha.. and doesn't let anyone push him around.. what he doesn't expect in this new part of his journey is someone who can bring him to his knees!
    Great intense chemistry between these pair with a hard hitting storyline that keeps you very drawn into reading.
    This books leaves you practically begging for more and book 2 has been pre ordered as I impatiently await it's arrival to see whats next for these guys!

    ohh I liked this one, warts and all. It’s not perfect by any means but it kept me entertained.

    I enjoy the dark gritty world of bikers added to the fact it threw in human trafficking ring and I was all in. Both guys here carry their scars around with them daily.

    I loved Isaac. I loved that he took responsibility for his actions throughout, even when he did stupid things, he took the punishment and understood why he received it. I did queston some of the stupid things he did though as the guy was in the army for years so he is conditioned to taking orders and following them as well as respecting rank, so why was he questioning Than, continually going against orders as well pushing against and challenging his authority. The relationship moved very quickly and I wasn't really sure what Isaac saw in Than as he was treated pretty poorly, so why did he keep coming back. (this didn't change my enjoyment at all)

    I found Than a harder character to like as he was so closed off. I understood the reasons for it and the POV changes really helped here as we got into his head. I didn't find him as brutal as he was probably meant to be portrayed. Yes he could do damage to people against him and that part was brutal but in everyday things he let Isaac challenge him from the start, I expected him to snap back a lot more.

    Loved the ending, even with the cliff hanger- I'm so glad I waited to read this one until I had the second one ready to go.

    A short but very intense angsty read by Amy Thorn. This is my first taste of this authors work. I read a fair bit of MM but this is my first in MC setting. The story is a change from reading sports related books and it's not quite mafia but very close. Moving on to the next book to see what is next! Will they end up with a HEA?
