Very very smutty. Definitely the dirtiest book Ive read and I think I liked it?! I personally thought the storyline was good and was definitively surprised by the little twist towards the end. I’ve already started book 2 and can’t wait to see how it ends!

4.5 rating out of 5.At first I didn’t love the couple, but as the story progressed. I started to love the characters and the love interest.chapter about the s*x ring were really hard to read, especially when you just read a CnC scene. I can’t wait to read the second book, but first I’m going to read satan’s affair.

Please read the content warnings before starting this book. “Dark” is an understatement.

This series will stay with me and haunt my dreams and nightmares until i finish the entirety of H.D.Carltons wicked collections.
Her writing is sublime. Her brain is dark, but god, these books are incredible. 
This absolutely is a love story, despite what she says.
Reading the triggers prior is a must.

The books were previously banned due to the triggers - but the scenes detailed (in depth) will be happening somewhere, to someone in our world. We deserve to be uncomfortable and shocked. I am so thankful i have never been exposed to a world this dark, but i am well aware this could be someones' past, present, or future.

I hope to god there is a Zane out there fighting for them.
