“Hurting on my skin is so much better than when the hurt is on the inside.” 

 

“Cherry Auction,” by Stasia Black 

 

This book was a lot darker than I thought it would be. I really liked how both characters have been emotional and physical trauma and struggled currently with self-harm and mental illness, it added a layer of depth that I was expecting. It did have the BDSM and smut stuff that I knew it was going to have but just a lot more character development which I loved. I thought the book was super interesting and I was glued to the story as it unfolded. 4 out of 5 stars.
