A small spinoff of her cat and mouse duet that reads just the same.  It has pieces that are interesting or decent, but the overall writing and story is lacking.  This is another title I would suggest if you're looking for very specific erotica or are a fan of the author.

Also contains cult and religious abuse and trauma. This book is light on the human trafficking aspect that the rest of the series contains, only mentioning it's existence and some characters' involvement in it.

DNFing this. It’s repetitive and I’m just not into it anymore.

i probably would have enjoyed this a lot more if i read it before the duet but i already knew the plot twist the whole time so it felt quite repetitive and slow paced despite the length. it was written well though and gave a lot more insight into sibby's past. this is definitely pretty gory and i think it warrants checking the TWs before reading this but it's not necessary to read to enjoy the cat and mouse duet imo. this worked for me because sibby was a girl and the "cleansings" were usually done on men (and not on any woman on page unless i'm mistaken) but if that was switched i would probably find this a lot more uncomfortable.
