Review: Intense, darkly and disturbingly erotic

It can be incredibly hard to find transgressive erotica that is compelling, erotic, and written from a genuine female POV.  The first installment of this serial blew me out of the water.  If you're tired of reading the same old "powerful man intuits what woman wants, takes control, and pampers her" story, you should consider checking this out.Lacey is a young journalist with a dark past -- her mother was a prostitute in a small town hotel.  Despite making it to Manhattan, she's still haunted by the ghosts of her upbringing.  When her editor offers her a tough assignment -- infiltrating a mysterious elite sex club as a call girl -- she has to decide if she can do it.  This book has strong elements of humiliation (not just in her undercover assignment either) and dubious consent -- see, despite being disgusted by the idea, Lacey is also drawn to the idea of prostitution.  And this club isn't a place where women go to empower themselves by selling their bodies -- the rich men in this club treat women (and in one memorable scene, even men) like objects.  For those who enjoy such themes, this first installment provides a wild, exciting ride -- and the future installments seem promising.
