This is my 5 snowflake review for Number Thirteen by Bella Jewel for Eskimo Princess Review Blog.Number Thirteen is definitely not what I thought it was going to be. Going by the author’s warning I knew not to expect any BDSM but reading the book’s blurb I thought I was going to be reading a dark romance. Yes, there were some darker moments in this novel but overall it was not dark. When I started reading Number Thirteen I didn’t know what to expect. I don’t want to give too much away in my review so I will try my best to not give any spoilers away.William is a scarred soul. He is scarred on the outside but those scares don’t compare to the inner scars he carries. The book starts out in William’s POV as a young boy. I didn’t like what he had to go through, in fact, I wanted to jump through the kindle and defend him against the evil that attacked him. In the present, William buys 13 girls; they do not know their names so they are to only go by the number in which they have been assigned. The girls are given these guidelines; you follow the Master’s rules, you get rewarded. You break a rule, you will be punished as the master sees fit.At first, Number Thirteen has no memories of her life before she was taken and sold to William. She is strong, determined, and doesn’t like to always follow the rules. The other girls, well they range from strong and determined to scared and totally broken. What will happen when Number Thirteen catches William’s attention? What will William do when he wants to take a lover? Will he be able to choose just one girl to claim as his one? If the girls are given the chance to escape William, will they?I thought this was a good book. Was it perfect? No but the author gave us something unique. This book starts out making you think one way and by the end another. I guess you will have to read it to find out what I mean. There were a couple grammar issues but nothing that I couldn’t get past.If you are looking for a slightly dark romance with a twist, this one is for you.
