A Dark Mafia Captive Romance - Gilded Cage Prequel

"Feather" is the prequel to the Gilded Cage series and it is gives an intense start to a dark mafia captive story!

At age five, Princess Ophelia (daughter to Russian mafia kingpin Sokolov) meets the Marinos brothers and she instantly is drawn to Ryker at first glance and later was introduced to his twin brother, Max. That very day, her Papa Sokolov announced that the two families would join an alliance (Russian and Italian) and that she as the eldest daughter would marry one of the Marinos -- Max, not Ryker. Precocious Ophelia whispered to her father that she was only five and the guests laughed but when she told her Papa that she wanted to marry Ryker instead of Max, well her Papa slap her across her face and it was then that she saw profound hatred in Ryker's eyes for Papa Sokolov.

"I hung my head in shame when I thought of him first. I scolded myself inwardly. I should never put Ryker first. Max was the one I was going to marry. Max was the one I’d end up with. And as soon as I got over my silly little crush on his brother, the better off I’d be. But it had been thirteen years… and it seemed like the crush was only getting worse." - Ophelia

~Thirteen years later while celebrating her 18th birthday, Ophelia's world changes when she would have to pay for the sins of her father by losing her entire family, Ryker and Max Marino! She then kidnapped by the cruel mastermind Kain and her life would never be the same again because he, Kain has plan his crime for 10 long years!

“This is your new home,” Kain told me plainly. “You better get used to it, and fast too. You know, little orphan, you remind me of a bird….” - Kain

5 "dark as the night' stars !!!!!!!!!!! *****

Feather is the amazing prequel to this author's upcoming Gilded Cage series and what a start it was. I loved this intense and angsty read and can't wait for more! I was intrigued from the beginning by the Marino twins who come crashing into Ophelia's life and turn the five-year-old Bratva princess' world upside down. Different as night and day the twins are a constant in Ophelia's life growing up. Thirteen years later Ophelia's life as she knows it comes crashing down. Between the angst, love, hate, suspense, action and need for revenge Feather has me anxiously counting down the days until I can get my hands on the first book in this series. This prequel is a fantastic tease of what's to come in this series and I can't wait!

I volunteered to read an Advanced Reader Copy of Feather and to submit an honest review.

This prequel is the most intriguing and fascinating one that I have ever read. Ophelia is introduced at the age of 5. Her father nicknamed her Princess Ophelia and she definitely takes the Princess to heart. Her Father is Russian Mafia and is both feared and revered.

Ophelia meets the Marino twin bothers at a function at her family home. During the function, her father brings her up on stage and announces that Ophelia is engaged to Max Marino. Her father's word was law and she would be in arranged marriage; the ceremony to take place once she turned 19.

Ophelia's 18th birthday party did not end well at all. I personally cannot wait to read what happens in this collection. I recommend reading Feather; the collection is going to be awesome.

This was a very powerful and extremely dark prequel. Three men wanting the same girl. Two brothers , one promised marriage and the other just wanting her. The third is the ultimate evil and commits the ultimate evil against her family. This short read had my heart racing and I can't wait for more.

This prequel lays all the background and groundwork for what seems like it's going to be a very dark new series by Fawn Bailey. I'm really looking forward to this new series, and what's in store for Princess Ophelia. What will come of Max and Ryker? What's the story with the dark stranger? I'm thoroughly intrigued, I can't wait!!!

Based on this well written dark short story, a prequel to Gilded Cage, this is going to be an amazing series.
