MY REVIEW
She Came Before God by Addison Cain
I'll be honest, I struggled with how to rate this book. I started it late last night and was so drawn into the story that I read it all, morning alarms be damned. It totally held my attention through out and is really dark, really depraved and also really well written. It had non-con, which is always a given by this author, and which, despite having no eroticism and being stomach turning at points, was fine by me.
However I this particular story just wasn't for me, though I can't specifically say why. The heroine had been brainwashed into obedience and subservience, so this left her very naive and almost weak.
(Admittedly she demonstrated some strength during her 'confessions'.) But it left me feeling zero hope for this character, particularly when combined with that ending. An ending that suggested an ongoing cycle. Which seemed odd because surely she had the power to break the cycle, since her mother had willingly and happily pushed her to be chosen?
Anyway, despite not being for me, I can admire the story telling itself. In fact I'm almost tempted to consider rating this as 5 stars. Having literally slept on this (ie I read it last night), I'm actually feeling more positive about it and may well give this a re-read. I've obviously found my limit but I do still encourage you to read this if you enjoy walking on the very, very, very dark side.

Baptised in Eden by Jennifer Bene
Whoa, this is a creepy and desolate read, and yet there is a little part of me who wonders if the character we meet at the end doesn't offer a little bit of 'salvation'. Not that salvation is to be found in the religious confines of Eden.
This story held me bound, unable to look away from its horror and its violence. I read through half closed eyes, as though I could block out the evil emanating from the words before me. I'm surprised I remember Danielle's name, since she is so very much a 'thing', a toy to be taken to the very edges of hell and then brought back from the sanctuary of death to suffer it all again. And again, and then over again.
This is a magnificent story, I loved it. Even better is that it won't be the last taste of Eden that we get. Yum, yum, I can't wait for more. Oh Danielle, bound in a world where the only hope is the hope of death.....
