• Religious trauma (references to cults in particular), including manipulation and degradation • References to drug abuse • Parental neglect • Physical and emotional abuse/manipulation (no sexual abuse). Includes abuse suffered by a child from an authority figure (not a parent), which includes beating/whipping/burns leaving permanent scars • References to an intended marriage between a minor and a young adult which is NOT consummated and no sexual contact occurs • Physical violence, torture, and murder • Claustrophobia • Panic attacks and undiagnosed PTSD • Explicit language • Detailed sexual content. The sexual activity is consensual, though some consensual non-consensual ( CNC ) role play is depicted. It includes some kinks and behaviors that some readers might find triggering, including breath play, praise, BDSM, and rough sex.
Ever since reading Butcher and Blackbird I knew I needed to read more of Brynne's work...and Black Sheep did not disappoint. This is definitely darker than Butcher and Blackbird...nothing romcom-y about it. So just know that going in ^^
When I first started reading I was a little worried I wouldn't connect to Bria but as her many layers begin to peel back...I not only connected, I related too, and fiercely wanted to support and protect.
Though the first have of the book did feel a little slow [in the thriller/mystery aspect of the story...the spice was spicing don't worry haha] the last half I could not put down and ended up reading into the wee hours to finish.
Though the story ended I could easily see a spin off happen and I would not be disappointed if that happened ^^
