I don't know quite yet how I'm going to rate this book. Mainly because I'm unsure of my feelings toward it. I don't want to say that I enjoyed this book, but I also don't want to say I didn't enjoy it. I only read this book because Anne Rice writes it, and I know she's very popular with her Interview With A Vampire novel. For one, there is no plot, but I was so engrossed in this horrific story that I didn't care if it didn't have a plot or not. I will say that besides the horrendous sexual content, I do believe that everyone in the book overused spankings. That's literally all the book is. Someone somewhere is constantly getting spanked for something; it doesn't matter what.
This book is my first by Anne Rice, and because of my lack of knowledge of the author, I feel as though I didn't know what to expect with the amount of excessive BDSM.
I'm not going to tell you to read it or not. Do what you want. I suggest using personal judgment for a novel of this magnitude.
