Now that I've got my rant about the typos out of the way, I want to reemphasize that this had the makings of a great dark story. It took what could've been a great read and downgraded it to an 'okay' read for me. So, while this story may have had potential to be a 4-star or 5-star read, the lack of editing was a major downer for me. Similarly, 'transpire' and 'conspire' are not synonymous.

I would expect that before publication, somebody reading this should know the difference between 'passed' and 'past'. I'm not a grammatical expert by any means, but the number of proofreading oversights in this book was distracting. Perhaps you’ve been transpiring with him the entire time.' I blinked through the news, not able to contain my shock. It had everything I'd normally love in a story, but it was sadly overshadowed by a plethora of typos, misused/incorrect words, etc. This book had incredible potential to be a phenomenal, dark story. Why? Quite simply because the editing, or lack there of, was atrocious. However, while this book definitely delivered on all of those accounts, I still couldn't bring myself to give it more than three stars. In fact, the more disturbing and depraved, the more I usually love it.

Read at your own risk!!Īs all of my friends know, I love a dark, twisted story. This book EXCEEDS the dark genre and has been classified as PITCH BLACK. ***********WARNING*********** This book contains EXTREMELY disturbing situations, explicit sexual content, and very graphic language. To stand any chance of survival, I must give my life as collateral to the highest bidder: Soul for Sale. Escape is impossible, but I have nothing left to lose. My feelings and wellbeing are meaningless. My world shattered and I was taken back to the one place I had hoped to never see again-the cells of Whitlock-a subterranean fortress for slaves who await their new placement. Where I once had found peace within my existence, it all ended with the death of my cruel, yet caring owner. They can be our friends, or the ones to make us disappear forever. Contracts and laws weave the web of our culture together. Buried deep below the everyday life of our society lives an underground world of nightmares-of violence and murder no one dares speak about.
