The Poisoner
by I.V. Ophelia
Let me preface this with, I have the version of the book that was Indie published before chapter 48 was edited down. This is NOT a romance novel. Do not read this if you have SA trauma or you are unable to read about it. READ THE TRIGGERS!
First of all, the characters are the Poisoner and the Creature (I was appalled yet, so intrigued the entire time, like people who sweep their lawns when they're being nosy) do not humanize these characters. While bad things DID happen to Alina, that does not change the fact that she is not a good person at the end of the day. Silas, well, he's just a hot blonde psychopathic supernatural "creature".
This is a dark gothic BDSM novel (26/434 pg in my version was pure spice, I only bring this up because I finished the book, looked up reviews, and one of them said that 80% of it was smut. I don't think you and I read the same book). This book is drenched in sadism, control, pain, lust, love, obsession, stalking, manipulation (even Phoebe!), kinks, blood, abuse, and rape. Every single character is flawed and in some way vile and/or animalistic. At the end of the day, you are either going to enjoy all of it or be completely repulsed. Personally, I enjoyed this and I'm slightly questioning my sanity.
