Sometimes FB groups steer a gal wrong. This book and author was highly recommended on a FB group so I decided to give it a try. I like a decent amount of smutty novels but this was waaaayyyyyy too far outside my comfort zone. Spoilers coming so don’t read on if you don’t want peeks into what to expect.

There should be a bajillion trigger warnings with the story. It includes extreme humiliation, infliction of pain, wax play, severe spanking, edgeplay, knife play, harsh verbal abuse, and consensual non-consensual (I’m really not a fan of this term or the use of it as a trope). 

In general I am unable to give an honest or fair review because I find the book overwhelmingly offense and a massive turn off. If this type of thing is your link, check out other reviews for a better assessment
