Paperback- *preface by saying this is a banned book with MANY content/ trigger warnings*
There were some interesting ethical questions raised- I actually quite like a revenge plot when it’s done well, and aspects of this book were good, but it wasn’t for me.
The writing was reminiscent of a goth 13 year old writing angsty gore porn for shock value. The writer fell into the trap of accenting too many sentences with swear words (for emphasis, but it lost its emphasis because it was done too often) and by trying to make sentences seem dark and poetic but essentially creating a word salad.
*I do not have a blood kink. This book is clearly written for the subset of people in the kink community that do, and so I did not find the spicy scenes attractive and skim read the whole second half of the book.*
******Content warnings:******

R*pe (child and adult)
Abhorrent language

*this author wrote a different book that has been seen by many people as idealising “triple k” members. I didn’t know this going into this book, and even though I wouldn’t have read her further work anyway as it’s not my style and I don’t like the writing, this has cemented that for me*
