As I make my way through Oniomoh’s catalogue, it is clear that her knack for telling unique stories and crafting characters with compelling backgrounds seems to be consistent in every book she writes. 

Although the extremely repetitive dialogue and certain explicit  word choices (ban the word “c***” ABEG) did somewhat my damper my reading experience and even had me somewhat skimming the smut after a certain point, I still enjoyed the ride this story took me on. Joy and Malachi, like the throuple in Just For The Cameras, find love in an unconventional way. I commend the author for the thoughtful commentary in regards to how SA deeply affects victims and upends their lives not only physically but emotionally/mentally also.

The heaviness of the content within the book does not impede on the revenge that our female MC rightfully deserves. Joy is for the black girls and all SA survivors who have had to find themselves again after a part of them has been forcefully ripped away.  Flirty, intense, and delicious Viano Oniomoh serves up a love that is sweeter than vengeance in this dark fantasy romance novel.
