There's Dark Romance and then there's DARK AF EROTIC SHIT and this book is in the latter of those two categories.
I picked this book up after seeing a review where someone said it was too much. I'm here to say that reader has obviously never read Audrey Rush, S.J. Ransom, Yolanda Olsen, or the controversial Nyla K.
Cause baby, this story would fit right in with the works of those women. It was taboo, unhinged, fucked up, and left me the reader seriously considering my own sanity for being turned on by the depravity. A bitch needs to say a few Hail Marys and throw some salt over my shoulder after reading this.
Yes, he's a stalker, he drinks her blood... he drinks all the fluids.... he watches her 24/7, he's possessive, he drugs her, there is non-con, there is assault, there is a lot of disturbing shit in these pages. But guess what?? IT'S NOT REAL, IT'S FICTIONAL. If you are going to pick up this book you need to have the mental and emotional capacity to understand that this is not real. No living breathing human beings were injured or unalived.
If you like dark shit and want to take this on, I promise, there is not a damn thing wrong with you if you find your body and your brain at having different responses to this story.
I really enjoyed this wild ass ride. It is another example of how talented and multi-faceted Darlene is because the last few books I've read by her had an entirely different vibe. If she writes it, I'll read it!
