Well, if you like spankings, S&M, spankings, weird sex, spankings, bondage and spankings, this is the book for you. Did I mention there's a lot of spankings? Like, on every page, starting with, oh...page 2. It's erotic, it's a whole new take on an old fairy tale...it's got A LOT of spankings. Enjoy.

This was my first foray into Erotica and sorry to say I was a little disappointed. The premise seemed promising but there was very little (if any)character development. I really wanted to like it as I am a big fan of Ann Rice but I just couldn't finish it. MY TBR pile is too big to try and force myself to read this one.

Well... if you like spanking, you'll like this book. About 75% of it is spanking! :) Very explicit sexual scenes and some homosexual activity as well.

If you are looking for a series that has lots of character development and plot, then this really isn't the book for you. This is definitely BDSM (heavy on the S&M) erotica. It is fantasy and some of the scenes in the series (not just this book) are unlikely but I enjoyed reading them anyway. I have the entire series in hardback and I really enjoy reading them from time to time.

I enjoyed this book for the erotica BDSM aspect of it. But, some things I thought where too gruesome and too far fetched to be taken seriously.

Anne usually writes such beautiful stories. I don't know what possessed her to write this. Definitely for the erotically, sado-masochistically minded.
