5.0

 The anticipation of this book was warranted, the dedication sets you up for an investing read 🤡

From the first chapter you're pulled in, and subsequently into Oddity Carnival, this is where the story takes us on a journey of dubious decisions, introductions of circque employees (dare I say misfits), macabre happenings and secrets that lead us into a world of gore, bloodshed, carnage and the rest 😈⛓️🎪🎠🌶️💀🔪

Our FMC, Noir is not without her own depths of darkness and secrets. She meets ‘her family’, they maybe odd but they protect their own. Hell or Hellion is determined to make her his ‘little Dolly’, to break her, to have her submission, to own her. His control both turns her on and off, the past trying to drag them under. Question is who is in control 🤔
If you like your characters a little (a lot unhinged) with a smattering of obsession and a dumper truck of smut then this is a book for you 🤭

I can’t go into more detail or I am in danger of spoiling it for you, this is one book you will have to read for yourself. I will state categorically to read the trigger warnings, they are there for a reason!
