Recommendation
This is my favorite genre and this book did not disappoint. It is a well written, intriguing, sexy, erotic, DISTURBING read. Enslaved is part one of five novels. From chapter one, I was engrossed in Anna’s story. You should know, she is a sex slave which entails her to give up any and all of her control. She is trained to accept sexual and physical abuse as normal. It is graphic and it is twisted but you won’t be able to put it down. The darkness that Marissa Honeycutt creates in this world with her writing allows you to feel the pleasure and pain Anna is put through. There is also a paranormal aspect to this story but it makes things very interesting. The thing I love most about it is that there is absolutely no way to guess what is going to happen next, full of twists and turns. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for Anna in Part 2: Entwined! [November 2015]
Publisher synopsis
Anna’s entire life was scripted out before she was born by Devin Andersen, a man who doesn’t have her best interests in mind. She is destined to be a tool in his hands to gain ultimate power in the USA. No, not as the President, but as the man who controls the President.
Raised by an extremely abusive guardian, Anna was molded into the perfect tool for Devin’s use. Devin will use Anna’s unique gifts to control everyone around him and eventually take her gifts for himself.
When Devin took her for himself at the age of sixteen, she had a vision of a man. A man who Devin was very interested in. But why? Why would Devin care about a young girl’s dreams?
***WARNING***
This series is for grown-ups. This series is not for people who are easily offended, get nightmares easily, or have difficulty reading books about tough subjects. I do not glorify bad things, but bad things do happen to my poor characters. This is not your typical love story. My heroine does not fall in love and live happily ever after…at least not like the typical heroine. There is a happily ever after, but it is a long, painful journey to that end.
This series will likely offend you. This series might make you cry; it might make you throw up. It is a dark story. As my friend, Heidi, said, “It’s dark. It gets darker. It gets even darker, and then it gets even more darker. And then, just when you think it can’t get any darker, it does.”
You’ve been warned.
But, don’t worry. I take you to the deep end gradually. 😉
There are many sexual situations in this series. People die. People get hurt. Things aren’t always truly the way they appear to be. The antagonist isn’t just a bad guy; he’s EVIL. My hero is not perfect. He doesn’t always make the best choices, but his intentions are good. My heroine is human…-ish. 😉 Her worldview is skewed. Things that may appall you are perfectly normal to her. You’ll see why within a few chapters of Book One.
All sexual acts portrayed in this book are between persons of legal age (aka 18 years old). All sexual acts portrayed in this series are between non-related persons. Any violence is non-gratuitous and crucial to the plot and character development.
Do not read this if you are under the age of consent in your country. Do not get angry if the subject or actual book upsets you. If you're reading this, you've been warned.
***This warning applies to the entire series. This first book is not as dark as the rest of the books.***
