The Darkest Descension (A Breaking Insanity Novel Book 3) Kindle Edition

by Courtney Lane (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 130 ratings
Please read the warning contained within the preview before purchasing. This is not a romance, and as such, does NOT contain a traditional ending.

The Breaking Insanity saga concludes with an explosive and bittersweet ending….

With the world around them spinning out of control, Nikki and Eric will decide how far they are willing to descend to obtain what they want the most.

Nikki faces a tough situation that changes everything she thought she knew and tests her fragile limits. In order to get what she wants, she must do the one thing she swore to never do.

Unable to fight his nature, Eric quickly realizes he’s losing a fight against something he can’t control. Despite increasingly dire circumstances, Eric refuses to relent. He will fight to regain control of what he lost….by any means necessary.

Content contains descriptive violence, coarse language, graphic sex, minor horror elements, and scenes that most readers would find objectionable. Reader discretion is strongly advised.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Magnificent and Powerful Read!!!!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2016

    This is the third and final book of The Breaking Insanity Series. This book reveals all secrets and lies leading up to this point of the trilogy. It will stretch the limits of your sanity and challenge your psyche!!!

    I do not wish to spoil this reading experience for any of you by giving you a play by play of the story, but I will say that this final installment of the story has incapacitated me emotionally and mentally!!!

    There has been a superabundance of deceit and assumptions throughout this whole story, foregoing the falsehood of betrayal amongst pretty much all of the characters. As the secrets unfold it is still difficult to comprehend what might be the truth.

    There are so many players that have their own agenda and Nikki and Eric are placed in the center of everyone's game.

    The ending is a theatrical and astonishing finale, and is completely unexpected, but is so befitting of this crazed and manic story!!!

    You must read this book to discover the truths, and find out what outcome is in store for Nikki and Eric. Please observe Warning Advisory to readers!!

    Everything you could ask for in the crazy world of Dr. Eric Benton and Nikki was captured in this series finale. I will be the first to admit I wanted to stop with my vision of a HEA in the first book, The Sordid Promise. Once I found out this would be a series I tried, I really did to just ignore it. After all I was happy with TSP and being happy with the ending, well what more could I ask for. Well the more I could ask for is found in this book! I can't believe me, who loves the tidy little Cinderella endings would be okay. You know what though? I was more than okay. I was torn, distraught, hurt, and when I turned that last page, I was sorrowful yet somehow I was healed. No one else can do this folks. Honestly, how do you take a horrid man and pair him with a broken woman and find out everything ends just as it should be. As my book friend Emma stated "the perfect ending to an imperfect couple."

    5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST ending to one of the most phenomenal series ever written!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2015

    I don't think I could have predicted a tenth of the events in this series finale even with a gypsy tarot card reader!

    TDD picks up where book 2 ended, Nikki and Eric's breakup. Those two are so miserable without each other. They're destructive together and even more so apart. Eric literally goes off the deep end. He's back on a rampage....torture and murder. Nikki is still searching for Ethan, the sensitive loving guy who existed before he became cold and dark Eric. After all, they both have something to live for now. Nikki is willing to keep things under wraps until Eric agrees to counseling. As Eric continues his self- destructive behavior, Nikki continues to fight her own demons/mental illness, obsession with Eric, and Eric himself.

    Of the three books in the series, TDD is the most revealing, the most dramatic. This story will exploit every emotion you possess. This story will tie you up in knots and painfully wring every tear you possess. Big ugly tears! This story especially the end will gut you and will force you to question whether destiny and soul mates truly exist. You will question if the ultimate sacrifice is worth the debilitating pain that will most certainly follow if such a sacrifice truly exists. Is it acceptable for one part of the soul to make a decision of such a magnitude that would surely cripple the entire soul for the greater good?

    Readers, I can only say prepare yourself to question every illusion you've ever encountered , read about, or witnessed in the finicky subject of love and obsession. This series displays one of the most emotionally graphic displays of love, obsession, and physical interdependence I've ever read. This three book series is beautifully dark, beautifully written and is one of my favorite . Read this series. You WILL NOT regret one single moment you spend reading this series.

    Five gazillion emotional, sexy, obsessive, stars!

    I did not see that coming!!!! Great story!!! Great read!!! Of course I wanted a different ending, but I love that Courtney stuck to her gut and wrote what she had intended. To many authors try to feel out their fans and carve out a story from what they want, in my opinion it never works!!!!

    Author Courtney Lane blew me away with her Breaking Insanity Trilogy. She is an amazing author who drew me in on page one and kept me on high alert the entire ride. She took me to darker places that I didn't even know I would survive. Her character development was on point . Her story telling mesmerizing. I fell in love and in hate. There are many stories inside the larger story. I recommend this book to people who love a good dark read. Don't try it if you don't. Of course I spent so much time trying to figure out how the heck she was going to end this story. I stressed over it, i freaked over it and she did not disappoint. It ended perfectly. And none of my guesses could have worked out the way she made them work out. Now, all I can do is think about what I read. I will read more from this author.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Brace yourself for a dark and explicit psychological roller coaster
    Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2016

    Despite the disclaimer at the beginning of each book in the series I had hope. I had the most illogical and irrational hope that two toxic people would overcome insurmountable obstacles and live happily ever after - but of course they don't. Whatever, I will create my own alternate ending in my head so they live happily ever after

    You must read this book if you crave psychological thrillers and if you would enjoy the added bonus of both a strong female and a twisted cocky alpha male wrapped up in phenomenal writing.

    The plot thickened beyond the earlier 2 books. The characters were dark with their own hidden agendas.
    A sad ending that surprised me.
    The author has a vivid imagination and talent for surprising the readers.
    Thank you and keep writing.
