Holy hell.... first book that has made me physically uncomfortable, not gonna lie. Absolutely incredible, though. The satisfaction at the end was phenomenal. Immediately bought the next book

This was excellent. Definitely check trigger warnings. This definitely took an unexpected turn and I loved it, can’t wait to read Talia 2.

This is easily the most fucked up book I’ve ever read. I thought this was just going to be a book about the start of underground p0rn business, you know, like the book description says, but no. This was absolutely lethal. Violent. Descriptive. Sad. Talia was betrayed by the film producers and she gets her revenge on them, one by one. Talia is completely badass and just….🫣😳 Scary…
