Skin of a Sinner by Avina St. Graves
Did not finish book. Stopped at 65%.
Dnfed at 65%.
Dubious consent happens several times throughout this book (what I've read at least) and it is completely unnecessary to the plot of the story.
I understand that the author was trying to show that that both the FMC and the MMC have a dark side that is drawn to one another, but dubious consent isn't the way to go about it because at the end of the day dubious consent is just rape in disguise.
Dubious consent leads to victim blaming (i.e. the FMC was aroused so it was ok for the MMC to finger fuck her, at the scene of the crime, after just brutally torturing and killing her potential rapist.)
There are crimes worse than death and I cannot root for the leading man when he rapes the FMC all while declaring his love for her while doing it.
