Review: I'm not a huge fan of erotica but there was something about this book that really made me want to read it and once I started, I really couldn't put it down.
There is a lot of smoking hot sex almost from the very start, so this is definitely a book for the faint of heart, but along with all the sex there is a plot and that's really what kept the pages turning for me. I also loved that though the sex was rough and tumble at times this wasn't the same old same old BDSM novel. Have I mentioned I'm sick of every erotic novel being about BDSM? Seriously?
The characters were really interesting and well developed, there were some that you loved and some that you hated. I did like Julian, and I hated his friend Pete. There were a lot of intricate relationships and Julian was definitely one of the most complex characters that I've encountered in this genre. He's flawed and damaged but there is something that draws you to him that makes you want to know more.
Meredith is really badass. She makes being slutty cool and she was smart on top of it all.
Alana was a mystery. I wasn't really fond of her, but she was glue that brought the whole story together.
Then there was The Raven Room itself. There's definitely more to this sex club than we know so far in this book.
The ending however is enough to make me spit. One word, cliffhanger, and a huge one. The kind that make you say, WTF did the author do that just to torture us? The answer is yes, and now I have to wait for the next book.
