A review by aebennettwrites
Innocence and Carnality by J. Alan Veerkamp

3.0

I liked this book but, ooooof, it needed some CW/TWs! Both the cover and description led me to believe I was heading into a romance novel, but this is not that. This is a story about surviving parental and spousal abuse. Veerkamp is a very talented writer and he builds a world that is both fantastic and terrifying. Nathan is a believable character, as is Rother. The story kept me on the edge of my seat and this is a page turner. I just wish I had been prepared for the graphic descriptions of spousal abuse and threats of sexual assault. Take care before picking this one up!
