About this listen

A riveting dystopian nightmare that’s Blake Crouch meets Silent Hill, in which a woman finds herself jailed in a subterranean fortress, and must fight for her sanity and survival.

****Goodreads Choice Award Finalist****

Buried deep below the everyday life of our society lives an underground world of nightmares—of violence and murder no one dares speak about. Contracts and laws weave the web of our culture together. Our Masters walk amongst us. They can be our friends, or the ones to make us disappear forever.

Where I once had found peace within my existence, it all ended with the death of my cruel, yet caring owner. My world shattered and I was taken back to the one place I had hoped to never see again—the cells of Whitlock—a subterranean fortress for slaves who await their new placement.

Now I have no rights. I have no say. My feelings and wellbeing are meaningless. Escape is impossible, but I have nothing left to lose.

To stand any chance of survival, I must give my life as collateral to the highest bidder: Soul for Sale. slave 24690

MORALLY BLACK IN THE TRUEST SENSE

OMMMMGGGGGGGGGGGG my jaw is on the floor. Everything in this book is morally pitch black and is sooooo good. It keeps you on your toes with all the twists and then rips your heart out over and over again. Make sure you have absolutely 0 trigger warnings because this book is as dark as it comes but it is such a good read!!!!!!

Wow!!

This book is not a romance book. It is Pitch Black. Please check your trigger warning….now IT WAS REALLY GOOD! I absolutely loved the story line. It is dual narration, I wish it was told in duet but the narrators did an amazing job. Beautifully written!! Can’t wait for book 2

Dark, emotional and utterly addicting.

I’ve been enthralled by this world for years, but I just listened to this audiobook for the first time. It absolutely blew my mind. I did not know I could love this series any more but I do now. These narrators are amazing. They bring such life to these characters. They dragged me into the pages and down to the hidden shadows of Whitlock. Her trauma somehow rips me apart even more. Hearing the emotions I drown in them. It’s finding that survival instinct you didn’t know was there.

I loved every single bloody moment in this book. It was dark and horrendous but beautifully crafted and utterly addictive. The characters are well written with such depth I couldn’t help but swoon even at their most depraved I found myself connecting and needing more. This story is so much more than one thing. It’s pitch black but the strength that flows through each word lets you find hope in the darkness. A wonderfully built foundation and I can’t wait to see what happens next!

***Check your triggers because damn this series is not afraid to go there.***

I can hear my heart cackling

Alaska has a nom de plume for her dark books, and seriously they border on pitch black, so read with utmost discretion. There's non consensual sex....A LOT. Don't say she didn't warn you!!
I'm a sucker for these tropes, I've read my share and then some so nothing bothers me. Which brings me to this story of masters imprisoning subs, auctioning them off, humiliation kinks, blood draws, breath play and brutal rape scene.
I'm not mentioning the word "BRUTAL" lightly. It's jarring emotionally, ripping physically and heinous psychologically.
🚨 Proceed with extreme caution 🚨
With that out of the way, let's delve on the Master Bram Whitlock empire. He inherited this sex trafficking empire, no holds or age barred. He wants to change some rules influenced by his pre-occupation with his slave Everleigh aka 24690
His friend west by his side, he sets about the task of setting up an auction of her. Her master has died and now she's on the precipice of diabolical freedom/ slavery (you'll understand when you read it)
But fate has something else in store for all three of them
I'll stop here.

"You play the game, or the game plays you"

The story starts with hearts and flowers, as much a they can bloom in the dark dungeon. i was questioning the "Pitch Black" darkness I was promised, leaving me thirsty. But soon free falls into the basements underneath. And I was like- THERE. YOU. ARE!
Now the real torture to subjugate the slave starts.
Out of characters Bram is more softer hearted than I had expected. Which is good. Kept the story humane. Everleigh is major kick Ass woman. Her spirit is infallible and strong, I love heroines with a spine, Esp in face of extreme abuse. Her heart is pretty set on Bram so she is vocal about it.
West is the most diabolical and progressed character. He moves from dimension to dimension, changing shades at warp speed. I loved his tunnel focused approach to everything and his goal is in front of him in a straight line. No dilemmas, no second guessing.
Usurp. Use. Unalive
One thing that I would've loved more was the description in the darker scenes. More graphite than the greyish or whiter scenes.
Less emotion, more misery so it pushes the boundaries of dark reader's limits. That's what pitch black books are supposed to do.
But since it's book 1, I have high hopes of this story's Onyx graph climbing higher with each subsequent book.
Story ends on kind of a cliffy, so I HAVE to read ever book now.
And the fact that I loved it!!
4.5 stars as I hear my heart cackling

Extremely Dark

But extremely good. I agree with other comments - this book is not a romance book. I see why some have tagged it that way but it really isn't (and that is ok). I am so looking forward to the other books in the series coming out as audio books.
