The Sinner by Shantel Tessier
Did not finish book. Stopped at 0%.
This book is inaccurately labeled as BDSM when it actually depicts abuse. There's a glaring absence of safe words or explicit consent throughout. Merely interpreting physical arousal as consent is not only misleading but dangerous. Physical responses do not equate to pleasure, let alone consent. The trigger warnings provided are inaccurate and incomplete. Romanticizing rape and calling it dark romance is inappropriate and trivializes a serious issue.
Graphic: Child abuse, Drug abuse, Drug use, Emotional abuse, Gun violence, Mental illness, Misogyny, Physical abuse, Rape, Sexual assault, Sexual content, Suicidal thoughts, Torture, Violence, Blood, and Gaslighting
