Talya has dreams. They are horrible dreams in which there is suffering, the stench of burning flesh, and the screams of the dying witch, the one being burned to death at the stake. Since her grandmother’s death, they have plagued her, waking her with cold sweats, and with a feeling of dread, of despair, and of a fate that was no longer her own. These feelings had to be brought on by those terrible nightmares, the ones showing her grandmother being burned for being a witch, being tortured and killed for her beliefs and ways. Yet, beneath it all is something darker, something forbidden which scares her more than anything else. She feared the dreaming, she feared the secrets she didn’t understand. She knows they are there, but not what they are, or why. The one thing her educated mind told her was reason, and yet the fear is strong, it is real, and it is something she can’t fathom, can’t hope to understand. Only when she finds the old trunk, and finds the hidden contents and its secret, can Talya really wrap her mind around and understand the fear…
This woman would service him, take her place with him. She will be his for all eternity. The other had gotten away, but behold! One has come, placed the anklet marking her as his around her slim ankle and proclaimed her body his voluntarily. Now there was no escape. She was his, and no power can tell him no. He can do as he wishes with her, name her, cage her, chain her, and there is nothing she can do. Handsome as Lucifer, he now holds her body, soul, and her very life in his hands. She is his, and in his ownership, she will either thrive or die. But it will not be necessarily pleasant. He will break her, and she will belong to only him, crave only what he can give her, be it the greatest of pleasures or the darkness of pain. The only escape for her will be death, and he will be vigilant. This one, his Precious will not get away.
Skylar Sinclair takes us into an all too real world of darkness and erotic slavery. The book is dark, it rides an edge the rest of the world might not be ready for, and dares you to take the chance. Can you take that step? This is edgy, filled with darkness, walking the thin line on the other side of which lurks depravity. It is gritty fantasy, more horror than romance, and gives a look into the underside of domination and bondage. Sex Slave is an unusual book, and no, it doesn't have a happy ever after ending, but it does give one food for thought as well as drive home the message that one has to be careful what one wishes for, and also with whom one deals. I still found it a very well written and darkly enjoyable read, but it is assuredly not for the faint of heart, or those looking for a light sexy read. If you can handle the darkness, the edge, I highly recommend Sex Slave by Skylar Sinclair, and available from Mardi Gras Publishing.
Yours in good reading,
Rose!
