I'm quite smitten with Chani's writing style and her way of building a sci-fi world. There are probably better books out there, but right now this year these books are absolutely perfect for me and Chani can do no wrong. This is the fourth book I've read and her magic still works on me 🤩.

This is a dark book but not as dark as others. Definitely - Rape/Non-Con/Dub-Con - should be mentioned as a trigger, for more warnings please read the author's foreword. One that I really extremely love, all other authors should read this, it's perfect for the safety of the readers.

Baikal Void had better things to do with his time than sit around listening to anything that wasn’t the sound of a person taking his fist or his cock. 🖤🥀🖤

Baikal didn’t even know the man’s name, but suddenly he knew one thing with absolute perfect clarity. The beautiful performer would belong to him. 🤩🖤🤩

So Baikal is the bad guy. He wants to play Rabbit like the latter plays his instrument. And he will, but at the same time Rabbit plays Baikal. The chemistry between the two is really delicious. But first Rabbit has to accept that he can't get away from Baikal. The first few encounters between the two are a bit off because there wasn't enough time to get to know Baikal. You understand that he is possessive, but the way he tries to deal with Rabbit is bad bad bad. Later you will understand Baikal's methods, but at first they are not very nice ...

If this was kissing, Rabbit was glad he’d never experienced it before. He couldn’t breathe, couldn’t focus. Every time he opened his mouth wider in an attempt to suck in much-needed oxygen, all he got was a deeper stroke of that demanding tongue and a hard push of that mouth against his own. He felt like he was being torn open and eaten from the inside out and nothing had even happened yet aside from one damn kiss. 🔥🖤🔥

Rabbit tries to run away, but he is only a little bunny and the big bad wolf will always catch him. But he also has a strong, beautiful core. At first there are only glimpses, but even at the beginning he pushes back. The dialogues are a wee bit repetitive as Rabbit keeps saying no to Baikal and they go around in circles. For me, though, that's only a tiny annoyance.

Mostly the sexual encounters are non-con/dub-con. It is difficult to describe. Not everything is on the dark side between those two. It's a really fine line between non/dub and con. I don't think I'm making sense now, I don't have the right words. Let's have some of the book:

Once he did finally have him on his back, those legs spread wide, his hole greedily sucking on his cock…It would make all of this waiting advantageous. 🥵

Last night had been both a nightmare and a fantasy come to life. Rabbit couldn’t lie to himself and say he hadn’t enjoyed it. Even being dominated the way he had been. 🖤

Part of him wanted to submit and obey, wanted to give in to whatever Baikal had planned next for them, just to see what that plan entailed. 🥀
