Fine. This story was fine. It’s depraved and shocking but not necessarily compelling. I didn’t particularly care about what happened to our unfortunate characters, because I need at least *an ounce* of explanation or rationale or reasoning for why people do terrible things to each other. This was brutal and fast-paced, and I read it in one sitting, but it won’t stick with me for any length of time. I love women in extreme horror, though, and Rayne Havok is a personal favorite of mine!

Well. I didn’t know I needed to read this book. Did I really needed it? I don’t know.
But. This was an entertaining evening. That is why I give full 4 stars. The book is small, very dark but even surprising. There was nothing spicy about it. Horror erotica
