Recommendation
This Anthology is a powerhouse of some of my favorite dark erotica authors like Yolonda, Dani & Addison so I was super excited to read. Each story holds its own in this collection and I can honestly say I enjoyed each one. They are short but very impactful and the imagery in a few will be forever burned in my brain. These are not to be read if some of your triggers involve gore, rape or abuse. These shorts will mess you up but you will still get a sense of fulfillment out of each one (Breaking Beth will forever leave me scarred). There are NO happy endings. There is NO love. There are only intense situations that even your darkest fantasies would blush at. You’ve been warned.
Excerpts
There was nothing quite like this, the delirious feeling of complete power over another human being.
You may lie upon the bed, legs obediently parted, and I'll see that you feel the pleasure of my mouth where you itch. Or, you may kiss my hand and beg my forgiveness for such rudeness, and I might find it in my heart to be patient and see to your other needs first.
"What…am…I.." His fingers touched my midriff over the silken negligee, precisely where my navel dwelled, and dug in. "Going to do." He pushed. I swayed. "With you."
Publisher synopsis
Inside these pages lurks the stuff of nightmares, the inky blackness of our world captured by the top authors of dark romance. Except in these stories there is no romance. No heroes. No happy endings.
This is a book that has been crafted, twisted, and deformed to shred you, scare you, and possibly traumatize your mere mortal mind. Here is your last warning… no one is coming to save you if you choose to dive into the depravity.
In these stories, the dark wins.
Every. Single. Time.
Eight corrupting tales designed to blacken your heart.
