it was amazing




WOW WOW WOW!!

This story is so brilliantly written, I'm blown away! I have so many mixed feelings.. Feelings that I'm sure I'm not supposed to have,

Caleb is a man with a singular interest in revenge..
For twelve years he has immersed himself in the world of pleasure slaves searching for the one man he holds ultimately responsible...

He captures a young girl after intently watching her for for days...
Olivia.. Aka Livvie..

Livvie opens her eyes to s strange place... In the dark.. In pain from where she was beaten to get there...



The only voice she knows is he recognizes.. Caleb, the man who helped her on the street.
She is beautiful and Caleb has a strangely drawn to her...

Alone in the dark....



With no sense on day or night, the only thing Livvie has to look forward to is Caleb.. He is her master...

She's afraid, but resists her training... Earning herself brutal punishments. The strangely enough after the punishments he takes care of her... Makes her feel things she's never felt... She brought out feelings in him that were new to him too..

"A very strange thing was happening inside me, an awareness that was as basic and simplistic as male and female, masculine and feminine, hard and soft, predator and prey. Yes, I was terrified."



The darkness consumes her... Caleb consumes her.. She is aroused by him and vice versa..

"He leaned over me, kissing away the tears on the side of my face. And still he didn’t move. It wasn’t enough to fuck my body, he wanted to mindfuck me too"

Fighting her body, which betrays her and gives in to the sensations Caleb brings out in her..



He hurts her and yet protects her.. Takes care of her..

"He was my tormentor and my solace; the creator of the dark and the light within. I didn’t care that he would undoubtedly hurt me at any moment, right now; I just needed somebody to hold me, somebody to be kind to me, somebody to tell me exactly those words. It’s going to be okay . It wasn’t of course, I knew that. But I didn’t care."



Caleb has developed feelings for Livvie.. His Kitten as he calls her..

He goes against everything his learnt not to do.. Gives her a little freedom and she runs away and nearly gets raped. Caleb rescues her.. Because he needs her for the mission or for himself?

"Still, for the first time I knew he could not destroy me. It would matter to him if I didn’t exist. And no matter what happened, I’d land on my feet because Caleb had shown me I had it in me. It was a strange gift, from an unexpected source."

Yet the mission is revenge... Caleb shouldn't forget his reason for his Kitten..

"This isn’t a romance. You’re not a damsel in distress and I’m not the handsome prince come to save you. You ran. I went to collect my property. End of story."

In a sick twisted way... I hated him...

Jess-i-ca i love this book but its very dark...


Farah Oooh will I like it?


Jess-i-ca I think you will but idk....its pretty graphic


Jess-i-ca I think you will like Caleb...he is a little twisted like Javier


Nancy❤The❤Bookaholic I agree with you Jessica that it's very dark, but I liked it and I eventually liked Caleb too.


Farah Well ill give it a shot, lol
I fell asleep last night so will continue today!


JaHy☝Hold the Fairy Dust I may be warped but I really liked this book. It's reminds me of a f'd up version of beauty and the beast.. I LOVE Livvie, she has a foul mouth and is not afraid to use it ...for many things ;-)


Farah Well I also like screwed up men so I'm sure ill like this! ;)


Keri Keep going Farah... like the other comments, it is a dark read, you will love Livvie, & you find yourself drawn to Caleb. You feel this is wrong, but you can't help yourself. When you finish you will want to jump right into Seduced in the Dark. Can't wait to hear what you think.
