I devoured this book. This is not for the faint of heart, however, if you are strong enough, it is a great read. Dare I say one of my top 5 this year.  Pam Godwin is a master at writing. The writing even elevates the smut. There are many triggers in this book (SA, graphic violence,… you name it.) I had to skip a paragraph or so that detailed SA. Nonetheless, I could not put this book down. I feel like I know the characters. I know I’m going to be in a reading slump after this.  I would recommend a thousand percent.

This book managed to keep me captivated into the wee hours of the morning even when I was distracted by life stress. It was gripping and sexy and exactly what I hoped for. Mind the trigger warnings

ninjasstatus's review

I should have known from the opening scene that this book would not be for me. It was like the author asked the question "How much trauma can I put my main character through?" And then just ran with it. PLEASE check the trigger warnings. I like smutty books, but this was like graphic horrible events one after the other. I tried skimming/jumping ahead at one point and then after like the 3 such scene that I was better off picking up another book.

Literally the worst book ever written, don't waste your time reading something marketed as some cool pirate adventure story when it's just some disgusting r-pe fantasy, and the fetishization of queer men. No one in this book actually likes each other, they just like power and power dynamics.
