4.0

Parental Advisory: This story contains strong language and depictions of violence and sex not suitable for minors.

I received a free copy in exchange for a review and I admit a bias - Hydra M. Star is who I turn to when I'm looking for a darker story to read.

The illustrations are graphic but I love how they portray the main character, Scarlett Little, as a voluptuous gal -someone I could pass on the street- instead of the surgically-enhanced stock-character depicted by most erotica. Showing real women is a nice change of pace.

Wild, primitive instinct -not romance- directs the flow of this gruesome tale, which has more in common with the original, uncleaned versions of fairy tales than the typical Paranormal Romance stories undulating the market right now.

I spotted a couple typos but nothing that distracts from the concept. I wish the story was more fleshed out - I want more than a brief glimpse into this dark world. If this [spoiler not given] is what happens when meeting... then, what happens when there's a reason to be ticked off? Inquiring minds want to know and I hope to see more stories filling in the dirty details.
