Publisher's summary

All she wanted was an apartment

Amanda Jackson was used to toxic men. Its all she'd ever known. And this gorgeous blonde property manager, Connor Brooks, was a walking red flag. But she needed a place to stay, and this unit sounded amazing. She'd be crazy not to look at it.

For Connor, finding a mark was easy. A simple ad in the classifieds. Once they were inside, it was too late to escape. They had no way out. One look at their frightened eyes on the monitor, that's when the housebreaking could begin.

The second Connor closed the door, Amanda understood her situation. She was trapped and defenseless. Or was she? She has one card to play: make her captor fall for her before it was too late.

All she wanted was an apartment. What she got was The Cage.

The Cage is the first book in a dark series by Danielle Bannister, author of Girl on Fire. Because The Cage is told in dual POVs, you might be torn over if this book is a horror or a romance. Please be sure to listen with care and check for tropes on the author's website.

A Cage

This is the first book that I have read by this author and it won't be my last. I was intrigued by the blurb and then completely pulled in from the first chapter. I loved getting the different POV's throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

It does end on a cliffhanger that left me anxious for the next book.

The audio was really well done. I really enjoyed listening to it. The narrators really brought the characters to life.

The Cage

This is a very unique book. I didn't know I would enjoy it so much. This book defiantly may be triggering for some. Please check TW before starting. At first, I was unsure if I was going to like the crass way Connor handled his "pets". As I continued listening, I just couldn't stop. I love that both Connor and Malcom's POV too. I need the rest of this series. I need more from these characters!! It ended so abruptly; I just wasn't ready.

Sarah Puckett, Oliver Highpoint, and Marcus Zarco did a fabulous job narrating these characters and book.

A twisted page-turner...

Clearly, this author knows how to draw the reader in … and then never let go! This was a fun, suspense-y, slightly twisted read with some blurred lines (at one point, I almost couldn’t tell who was manipulating who … almost).

And this book is the moment I added Bannister to my ‘faves’ list.

Fresh start vibes.
Abduction.
Trafficking.
Stockholm syndrome.
Edg!ng.
Scheming, st@|king, manipulating…

Overall, I couldn’t put this down and hope to be able to read more in this series.
4.5 stars.


🎧 Audio:
Puckett is a favorite narrator, and you really can’t go wrong with a full-cast audiobook. The overall sound quality was excellent—5 stars. 🦩

Dark!

The Cage is the perfect cross between dark romance and psychological thriller. It is dark and twisted and just the way I love my books. It kept me on the edge of my seat from the beginning all the way until the end. I didn't expect it to end in a cliffhanger but I read that a sequel is coming soon which I can't wait to read or listen to. I had never heard of Danielle Bannister before but I will definitely be checking out her other books now. Sarah Puckett, Oliver Highpoint and Marcus Zarco all did an excellent job bringing this story to life.

The Cage

The Cage is the first book I've listened to by Danielle Bannister. This book is about Amanda Jackson and Conner Brooks and is told from both of their points of view.

Amanda is struggling to make it after leaving an abusive relationship. She finds a great deal on an apartment, almost too good to be true. When she gets there she meets Conner. She realizes the apartment isn't what it seems when he locks her in and says she's now his pet.

Conner is in the business of selling women, who don't have anyone in their lives who would notice they were missing. He wants to sell Amanda to Malcolm who sold him his building and he wants to get dirt on him.

How will Amanda take this new life she is in? What happens when Conner realizes that Amanda is different? What happens when Amanda meets Malcolm?

This was a fast read, and I'm interested to see what happens next.

A Great Listen

This is the story of Amanda and Connor. Amanda is a girl down on her luck and really needs to find a place to live. However, she doesn't have much money and knows that finding someplace to live is going to be really hard. As luck would have it though she finds an ad for a place that she can afford. However, things go sideways and she finds herself taken and locked in the apartment by a very dangerous Connor. Conner makes his living doing very seedy things and has a past that is filled with darkness and trauma. The man never was shown what true love actually is. And yes, I know he is not a good guy but you can't help be fall for this guy as you listen to the book. However he does not think that he is worthy of love. However, he never saw Anna and the things she shows him coming. Keep in mind this is the first book in a series and you should expect to be left hanging. I really loved listening to this book. The Narrator's did an absolutely amazing job bringing this book to life.

Need the next book ASAP

This story has a lot of trigger warnings. Please make sure you read them to make sure it's your cup of tea. If you are less sensitive to triggers and like dark romance- this one will definitely get your blood pumping. It is told in a dual faction so you get all viewpoints of the characters. The narrators were fantastic. the story will have you hooked from the first chapter. Very spicy!!

Dark Romantic Suspense

The Cage by Danielle Bannister is a dark romantic suspense that I listened to on audio narrated by Sarah Puckett, Oliver Highpoint, and Marcus Zarco.

This is the first book of Danielle's that I have read, and it won't be my last. I was pulled in from the first chapter and couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next. I loved getting Amanda, Connor, and Malcom's points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

The book ended on a great cliffhanger that left me begging for more. I can't wait for the next book in the series to be announced.

Sarah, Oliver, and Marcus did an amazing job on the narration. They all know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you're looking for a dark romance, romantic suspense, psychological thriller, or captive romance.

Dark and Delicious

5 ⭐ 3 🌶 5 🎧

I loved that so much and I'm so excited there's more to come. This was so dark and different than any other similar books I've read before. For more than half of it I thought we were going one direction only to get a twist and the entire feel of the story to change and I'm obsessed with it all.

The audio was fantastic. I absolutely adore Sarah Puckett and loved her as Amanda. Oliver Highpoint and Marcus Zarco were great as Conor and Malcolm as well. I can't wait to listen to book two.

Mindblowing!

OMGosh! This one! This ONE! Geez its so mind bending! One minute I felt sorry for her but then man she is just as kneiving as he can be. Same with Connor..such a business man until she arrives….then WOW do things get all convoluted. I loved every second! Of course this ends in a cliffhanger (not my favorite) but that makes me very needy for the next part in this book.

I listened to this on audio. Sarah Puckett, Oliver Highpoint and Marcus Zarco did an amazing job narrating these characters and all their dilemmas.
