Stefan, the sub, drank many cocktails and then went with a perfect stranger to his place without telling anybody. And as I wrote before, in my mind someone who goes to a bar dressed in rubber shorts and a mesh tank top is very probably not a dom but a sub. And if someone approached me and put his hand on my genitals before he even opens his mouth, he risks to get my fist somewhere. Or, at least, I would firmly withdraw his hand and tell him not to touch goods that don't belong to him and that, as I am not HIS sub still, he has no right to touch me without my verbal consent.
So no, I did not really enjoy this story. But it might appeal to those who have never set foot in a BDSM bar and don't know how it works there. OK, of course, there are misguided or drunk people who dare to touch you just because they know you're a sub, but NO, that's not how it's supposed to work. And you better not let them do that to you if you don't want to get into trouble later.

I wanted to re-read it. It's still on my computer in kindle format, but I can't open it anymore, and I don't know why. So I tried to find it on line (on Amazon, Smashwords...), but I've found it nowhere still.
I also tried to find a blog for Alex Morgan so I could send him an email, and I found none.
So if you know where I can get this book, please tell me....more

I hated first that Layle is shown as having all psychological troubles a human being can have, but then, at the end of my second reading, I understood that he represented the Hell's god and Elsdon represented the Mercy god. This series is a mixture of so many genre that I couldn't situate it at first.
Just let me mention to the author that no sadist stays lost in their fantasies for years! Yes, we have fantasies, as everybody else with sexual needs, our fantasies are different of that of people considered more "normal" or "standard", but that all. As any other people, we are functional ALL THE TIME!!
COULD YOU SUGGEST ME OTHER BOOKS LIKE THIS ONE, PLEASE? (books with strong dominant characters in a context of authority but not necessarily BDSM) ...more

He added a dose of science fiction by imagining a way to connect human brains with the Internet via wi-fi.
Despite the above comment about zombies, the novel keeps the reader interested until the end.
So I give it 3 stars and recommend it to fans of zombie stories....more

I threw guilt at all the characters in turn before I knew who had done what. This is the sign of a well conducted plot.
I recommend it to all fans of crime novels, thrillers and even fantasy novels.
I would have liked to give it 4½ stars, but since that's impossible, so I'm rounding up to 5....more
