This series is flat and has a high stereotypical and superficial take on Sadomasochistic relationships. And I am aware that it was intentional, and that's fine, but it felt like West took on every cliche of S&M and sex trafficking and created this series.
The absolute lack of a trigger warning is egregious, and I believe Jade West knows better. The "trigger warning" was "AS always, this is a Jade West novel. You have been warned." WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?! This is my first Jade West novel, and that trigger warning tells me nothing. I am aware that Amazon tends to censor books if you put a trigger warning, but if West had put some indication where I could find one on their site, for example, in their warning, it would be something other than "you've been warned"—warned of what?
Do better. With that said, the following triggers for this series:
- S&M
- Sex work under the guise of trafficking
- violence
- kidnapping
- abuse
