Before I get into the review, I want to say that Andi Eloise and James Cassidy are fantastic, as usual, and they work really well together. The audio production is top-notch.

Before I get into the review, I just want to state that I read a lot of extreme horror and splatterpunk books. The extremity of the actions in the book isn’t what bothers me; it’s the lack of story.

This is NOT a romance in any way; this is erotic horror. This is not “enemies-to-lovers.” Instead, this is “she falls for her RAPIST.” Technically speaking, the writing is fine; it’s the story I take issue with. It feels like just a lot of rape scenes strung together with little droplets of story sprinkled in. The ending was just ridiculous. It just doesn’t have any substance. It’s a BOSH book (bunch of shit happens). Will I read more of Devyn Rivers’ work? Most likely because I don’t want to judge her portfolio based on one book.

The only reason this gets three stars is because of the audio.
