The premise was intriguing and I love stories that involve death games. A pair of college best friends are abducted and thrust into a deadly maze dressed as dolls. Who is pulling the strings, and can they get out alive? Horror with a large helping of horny dark romance that I found cheesy. While I was invested enough to see where the story was going, I found the prose extremely repetitive (how many times did she have to say &#8220;tiles, lasers, and strings&#8221;?) and the ending was underwhelming.<\/p>\n<p>On a positive note, I had the pleasure of reading Eve L. Fell&#8217;s recent release, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pastelgoth.net\/blog\/book-daisys-dark-nursery\/\">Daisy&#8217;s Dark Nursery<\/a><\/strong>, which has been a recent favorite. Her growth as a writer from her first novella to her most recent is clear. While <strong>Dolls<\/strong> wasn&#8217;t for me, I can see a lot of potential in Eve&#8217;s writing.<\/p>\n<h2>Quote<\/h2>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;These <strong>deaths<\/strong> were my <em>responsibility<\/em>, but I don&#8217;t feel <strong>guilty<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n<h2>Content Warnings<\/h2>\n<span class=\"ubb-spoiler\"><a class=\"ubb-view-spoil\">View Spoiler &raquo;<\/a><span style=\"display: none;\" class=\"ubb-thespoil\">Death, Femicide, Gore, Kidnapping, Misogyny, Murder, Roofie, Violence <a class=\"ubb-hide-spoil\" style=\"cursor: hand; cursor: pointer;\">&laquo; Hide Spoiler<\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\n<div class=\"ubb-about-author\">\n<h3>About Eve L.
