3.5 stars

That was interesting and kept my attention quite well. For the first time in a long time I wanted to stay up late to read and I finished it in a day so that was nice. That being said this was very much a book 1…not a lot happens because gotta save all the fun for the next books or they’d be boring, right? Laurent has secrets, Damen has secrets and nothing has been revealed yet so not much has advanced. Laurent’s reasons for being the way he is are quite obvious from early on though so at least I’m in the know even if beautiful brute Damen is a bit slow on the uptake. There’s not even a hint of romance or tension or fondness between the two main characters yet so it’s a real slow burn which I wasn’t really expecting with words like “pleasure slave” in the blurb. There was a lot of debauchery and horrific shit going on but not an iota between the main characters. I wish there had been anything smutty at all in this book but seems like there will be a better chance for that next book with some forced proximity so that’s something to look forward to. I’m curious to see how the next few books unfold especially Laurent’s reaction to Damen’s true identity 👀 I’m guessing we’ll definitely get that next book towards the end haha
