this is by far my favorite book in the series, it totally blew me away. It was tragic, comical, heartwarming, masterful. And to think it all started out with Darling be gay. Sherrilyn Kenyon had completely mastered her spot as one of my all time favorite author's, she has yet to disappoint me with her books, but yet now I'm salivating for the next league book release.

Listened to audio narrated well by Holter Graham. Another great League book, I was daunted by it's size but I love it, so many lives suffered and yet managed to still live their life. The pain and suffering isn't sugar coated, and the spirit that refuses to die after such horrors always amazes. Great read.

“You are my heaven… And you will always be my eternal hell."

This was almost 700 pgs and I'm guessing 680pgs have the hero either experiencing physical or emotional abuse or recalling it. It is truly awful stuff, examples: the hero experiences rape, as a child from other males and as an adult from foreign objects while captured, along with inhumane torture consisting of a spiked metal gag, carving into face, electrocuted, fed his own waste and finger, and homophobic slurs constantly spouted at him.

Those are just some examples. It was all too much for me, the torture and constant homophobic slurs started to feel sensationalized, the point that the hero was constantly kicked and belittled by people, past and currently but still remained kind to those less fortunate was made without the feeling of, not reveling in it, but torture porn.

oh my goodness. I loved it ( )
