“There is no need to fear pain,” he says. “Embrace the pain. Endure this for me, and we can be together.”
It is so wrong to have enjoyed this as much as I did. I mean fucking hell...this is without a doubt the most disturbing book I have EVER read. This was well past any limits I may have had and to think I thought Flesh Cartel was limit pushing. Like Flesh Cartel, it is not just about the acts...it is the mind fuckery happening and the brilliant writing which allows the reader to be totally captivated into the minds of these men.
Like Chris I felt on more than one occasion like I too had received a dose of morphine.
It starts as a gentle tingle in the back of his neck. Just a faint shimmer of relief. He thinks for a moment he imagined it… but no, something is happening, and it's not in his head. A sweet, familiar warmth washes over him, subtle at first but gaining traction. The pain and fatigue melt away. His ruthlessly strict position becomes more bearable by the minute. Sweet, sweet intravenous painkillers. Every ache, every strained tendon and crushed joint is replaced by blissful numbness, and chemical euphoria lights up his brain's pleasure centers like the Las Vegas strip. It's more than relief. It's orgasmic. He wants to shout his gratitude to the heavens.
Because I mean you are almost lulled into a peaceful state of mind as you are then taken straight into some flat out heinous acts. WOW.
I do wish Goodreads had this cover uploaded because it is far superior to the one shown. Damn...

Want to push your limits and aren't afraid of the trigger warnings...then I highly recommended this.
Trigger warnings: abusive relationships, blood, corpses/ necrophilia, cannibalism, claustrophobia, death, emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, drug use, forced captivity, graphic sex, kidnapping, rape, suicide (attempted), torture, violence, watersports/ urine. Read at your own risk.
Yep. These are pretty spot on. Read at your own risk indeed.
Like with Flesh Cartel...I am so pleased to have ventured down this disturbing road with Marco. Not sure I could read this type of book with anyone else.

"“Another dose of morphine,” he says, “in exchange for your company at my dinner table. I’m sure you remember Miss Gloria Harper, from your case files? She’ll be joining us tonight.”

"“I like to think I brought out the humanity in him.”
“And he brought out the animal in you,” says Ivan.
“Oh no,” he says with a laugh. “I'm a wolf in sheep's clothing, Doctor Skinner. Always have been. All he did was remove the disguise.”"
