The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty by Anne Rice

3.0

I once had a customer at b&n tell me she didn't want just a rough steamy romance. No, she wanted degradation, pleasure torture, non consent, at her partners mercy type of book. At the time, I had no idea what to recommend to her, the books I knew of we didn't carry and they didn't hit her requests. I wish I knew this book existed for that customer. I hope someone was able to gift it to her. There's no real plot. The preface really explains where the authors mind was when recreating the sleeping beauty story. Not gonna lie it exhausted me. I can't even truly explain why it's getting 3 stars. It just is.
