Exactly what it pretends to be, so dark erotica with a lot of adventurous stuff that made me realise some things about myself

I’m definitely gonna read the books that come after this, but I do just want to note that if this had been written by a cis man—being that it’s a story about the popular cheerleader getting humiliated and tag-teamed by the group of guys she bullied in high school—I’d be like 🚨DANGER🚨DANGER🚨 🚩🚩🚩

(I’ll allow it in this instance though, because it’s Harley Laroux, and I trust them.)

QUOTE 

“Every time we parted, I felt as if I was breaking the surface of a pool: I gasped for air, vision blurred, my body light.” 

THINGS I ENJOYED 

• It knows what it’s trying to do and it does it incredibly well
• Very addictive
• So, so hot 🥵
• Although it’s heavily kinky and it plays with slave/master dynamics, the consent is always very clear/visible - so satisfying to see it so perfectly done
• Even thought the smut is the main part/goal of the book, we can still see some fleshing out of the relationships and even some character development (that I wasn’t even expecting given the book is set in less than one day)
• It’s exactly the size it needed to be (133 pages)

THINGS I DIDN'T ENJOY
… nothing really …

this is a book that I wouldn’t recommend to most people, but definetly
READ IF YOU ENJOY
KINKY SMUT
(do read the tw and kink list before going into this one to make sure it’s something for you)

I enjoyed this book just as much as I did the first time I read it. It's still as hot and spicy at I remember it being. I still love Manson and his friends as much as I did before. I also loved how Jessica's friend Ashley supported whatever Jessica wanted to do and have Jessica a way out if wanted. I liked pretty much every character in this book. I don't know if that'll change in the Losers Duet or not but for now all the characters were really fun. I'm excited to get into the first book in the duet.
