I got into the story quickly and felt like I was falling down the rabbit hole right until the end. Nik and James weren't the best characters that I have known but their ordeal pulled at my hear. I highly recommend this gem but ask that all readers interested read the trigger warnings. ...more
Yet another outstanding book by Mr. Inman that is up for a Lambda Award. Written with Inman's smooth narrative style, the pace and the creep factor q Yet another outstanding book by Mr. Inman that is up for a Lambda Award. Written with Inman's smooth narrative style, the pace and the creep factor quickly pick up as Jim, a writer himself, buys what is supposedly a haunted old mansion in the San Diego mountains. Not only is Jim's mansion inundated with the ghosts of dead boys, it is quickly inundated by several of Jim's friends up from L.A. for a party time. The party soon turns bizarre as the ghosts of the boys killed by the original Hollywood legend begin to make themselves known along with the malevolent ghost of the serial killer himself. Inman handles the large cast of characters, both dead and alive, flawlessly as the story grows more complex. The diversity of the characters gives some levity to a story that could have been just a slice 'em dice 'em affair. This book is one that will hold the reader to the end. Highly recommended to any lover of the paranormal. ...more
What a trip down the rabbit hole this story was. High class male prostitute falls for a romance writer on his way to the top. Writer's ex wants write What a trip down the rabbit hole this story was. High class male prostitute falls for a romance writer on his way to the top. Writer's ex wants writer back and the whore gone. This action packed story goes from the riches of Chicago to the seedy side of male prostitution to the stark depravity of snuff movie making. Extremely well written, the story flows well through three different parts. Ayden and Niko are superb characters caught up in a crazy world of love and violence. Highly recommended. ...more
I can usually count on Lisa Henry for a great read. This story let me down. We never did find out when the dust stopped falling so have to assume the I can usually count on Lisa Henry for a great read. This story let me down. We never did find out when the dust stopped falling so have to assume the land is now barren and sterile. That would also precipitate a solar night with a possible ice age or a permanent winter. I also think that way to much of the story was spent with the bikers raping Bas and their other captives....more
Great read that kept me glued to the pages. Plenty of action as prophesies unfold. The characters are further expanded. I got a real look at Jaizel w Great read that kept me glued to the pages. Plenty of action as prophesies unfold. The characters are further expanded. I got a real look at Jaizel who in his own weird way wasn't so bad. The plot only got deeper and more complex in this book. The real kicker is that book three in the series will not be out until the end of the year. I do hope that book is better edited....more

I read this book first as it's the prequel and wasn't let down. I've always liked the swashbuckling pirate movies and this story had it all. The rape I read this book first as it's the prequel and wasn't let down. I've always liked the swashbuckling pirate movies and this story had it all. The rape and torture that Malik went through at the hands of Shuaid was incredible. The humiliation at being cast aside by Shuaib was tough but he gained the respect of Nasir who took him on as a crew member when he got his own ship. The characters are beautifully fleshed out and Malik's emotions jumped off the pages. This is a savage romance so if rape and torture bother you, pass up this book. ...more

I may have gotten through it a bit easier is the slaves were grown men instead of poor young boys. I had to read this story as a documentary for educational purposes as I took no pleasure from it. It sickens me that such things go on in the world pretty much unchecked as law enforcement cannot get a toehold in these syndicates to break them. ...more
Fanfuckingtastic! This was one of the best murder mystery stories that I've read in a very long time. It reminded me of the Hitchcock mysteries in it Fanfuckingtastic! This was one of the best murder mystery stories that I've read in a very long time. It reminded me of the Hitchcock mysteries in its style. It wasn't as gory as I thought it would be but there was genital mutilation. I started to think that the ending was weak when wham Mr. Kaine hit me with a mind blowing ending true to the Hitchcock style. The only negative that I found is that Mr. Kaine needs to work on making his dialogue more realistic sounding. Highly recommended....more
This book was harsh and yet the unnamed soldier gained a lot of insight into himself especially when he had to torture other prisoners. I was 17 when This book was harsh and yet the unnamed soldier gained a lot of insight into himself especially when he had to torture other prisoners. I was 17 when Viet Nam and the draft ended but would have gotten an agricultural deferment. I can't imagine how this man in the story went from seminary to the brutal hell he managed to live through. Based on a true story which made it even more engrossing and real, the story was gut wrenching . I was horrified, amazed and happy as I followed the unnamed soldier through his ordeal and watched him crawl out of the rabbit hole alive. Not a book for the squeamish and I recommend that the reader read the author's notes as the author was the soldier's partner. ...more
What a different follow up story to The Initiation of PB 500 and loaded with a plethora of perversions. I have to agree with Vivian Archer that this What a different follow up story to The Initiation of PB 500 and loaded with a plethora of perversions. I have to agree with Vivian Archer that this book should have some warnings in the blurb. The torture that Micah/Chento went through at the hands of Kerdas went from scrotal ballooning to scat and this was all done because Kerdas was jealous of Attlad. I have to admit that only the scat squicked me and bestiality is not my thing but the other tortures hit my kinks well. Everything in the story was done either out of a twisted sense of jealousy or for political gain and what may offend a reader was all considered perfectly socially acceptable. Dadani and her little cadre of women playing with the pearl boys were not much more than bored, spoiled little children. The cock bobbing done to the pearl boys so that they could not impregnate the women was different and it made me wonder how it was done. I liked Bar and the arrogant Grir. Their bodies were messed with but they were characters of some depth. The mysteries of the Cave of Truth were interesting showing a society built on both technology and the esoteric. I found it a bit incredulous that Micah/Chento was in any kind of physical condition to escape from the secret dungeon, go through the rigors of the ritual of Truth and then set Attlad free. Seriously? The man was near dead from abuse, dehydration and starvation. Yes, this fiction and primarily a vehicle to see how many kinks could be crammed into a story but there needs to be a touch of reality. The role reversals and the HEA ending were very much a surprise to me. I recommend this book not for its story value but more as a test to see how many exotic kinks you can take in one sitting. ...more
Sci-fi meets slavery in this great story. Micah is captured by the Kudites, an advanced civilization choosing to live as a series of clans, and made Sci-fi meets slavery in this great story. Micah is captured by the Kudites, an advanced civilization choosing to live as a series of clans, and made into a pleasure slave for one of the clan chiefs. Micah's loss of identity and becoming Chento which means 500 totally objectifies the man as he goes through the ritualistic hazing. The sexual abuse and humiliation that Chento must go through to become Attlad's personal body slave is monstrous and pretty hot. The writing is a little rough in places but the story moves along well. I like Chento and his devotion to his new people. Definitely a hardcore book worth reading....more
