Frankly writing, I can not untangled my feelings in relation to this book. Style of writing is very addictive - the only reason I finished reading was clear and engaging writing - especially in Gabes POV - it perfectly reflects his state of mind - his confusion, fear and pain/pleasure become mine. On the other hand I had the biggest problem with the events recounted in the story: the first part of the story for me was the almost indigestible - (view spoiler)[ a frightened puppy fed with the blood (which for me quickly become associating with drugs) rather than explaining his new situations. Scene with chip and tattoo was almost beyond my strength. (hide spoiler)] And it's not that I don't like BSDM - just I was not, and I'm still not convinced that it was sane, safe and consensual. With an emphasis on the latter adjective.
