I devoured this book. This is not for the faint of heart, however, if you are strong enough, it is a great read. Dare I say one of my top 5 this year.  Pam Godwin is a master at writing. The writing even elevates the smut. There are many triggers in this book (SA, graphic violence,… you name it.) I had to skip a paragraph or so that detailed SA. Nonetheless, I could not put this book down. I feel like I know the characters. I know I’m going to be in a reading slump after this.  I would recommend a thousand percent.

This book managed to keep me captivated into the wee hours of the morning even when I was distracted by life stress. It was gripping and sexy and exactly what I hoped for. Mind the trigger warnings

ninjasstatus's review against another edition

I should have known from the opening scene that this book would not be for me. It was like the author asked the question "How much trauma can I put my main character through?" And then just ran with it. PLEASE check the trigger warnings. I like smutty books, but this was like graphic horrible events one after the other. I tried skimming/jumping ahead at one point and then after like the 3 such scene that I was better off picking up another book.
