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.

I must say for an Anne Rice book, I was very disappointed. No, I was not bothered by the heavy spanking and what not...just the poor story plot in general.

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

Not a fan of erotica but still tried to read it anyway. It's basically rape and torture sex for the ENTIRE span of the book. Overarching story is barely a story. Merely a vehicle to write about a lot of dirty rape/sex. Not recommended for someone just trying to read a bit of smut. It's completely vulgar and a book full of rape and trying to justify it.
