It was,,, alright. The plot part of the book, although short, was actually fun and tense. Some of the prose was surprisingly poetic as well.
But the erotica didn't go anywhere if I'm being honest. It was mostly a lot of swear words l, all bark no bite.
It's weird to say about an erotica novella but this probably would've worked better as a longer horror novel with more plot between the sex scenes (in the style of Katee Roberts books for example.) There's themes about religious imposed self hatred, abuse of power in the church, even class struggle that where touched upon which honestly where more interesting than the sex. Expanding would make for a more interesting read.
Also, the theological implictions of this. Why is no one thinking about the implictions!
