jeeprn's review against another edition

Let me start by saying I’m not easily offended nor do I have any significant triggers when it comes to books and nor do I kink shame but this book crossed a line. The BDSM described within the book was nothing short of abuse and a couple of the scenes depicted mirrored attempted murder. 

The MC, Shay, learns her college roommate Laurel was found hung in a tree on their college campus. Police ruled the death a suicide but the Shay listens to a podcast about the case where the host, Jamie, insinuates it’s murder and not a suicide. The Shay embarks on a journey with the podcast host to uncover the truth. It leads them through underground sex clubs that participate in prostitution and kink. 

The story takes a hard left turn when Shay unveils to Jamie that she was once a live in sub for one of their other roommates (Rachel) father. A third roommate, Clem, died previously and seemingly tied to Rachel’s father. Shay, Laurel, and Clem were all submissives to Rachel’s father and seemingly held captive in his home. He only allowed them so much outside contact so as not to raise suspicion to the three women’s whereabouts. Shay slips back into the underground sex and kink world in an effort to find Laurel’s killer. And Rachel appears to have targeted these three women on behalf of her father’s request.
