Ummm...... This isn't dark, just mildly twisted.It lacks feeling. I couldn't feel the struggle pain or love in the characters. There needed to be more inner dialog. Or maybe the dialog all together was an issue. I'm in love with profanity and slang but it felt odd out of place. They spoke more like characters from an MC club vs educated business folk. And lord the dialog between Stella and her black friend was even more put on. And how many times do you need to repeat things like steeple his fingers or that damn Fifty shades Twlight lip chewing biting sh!t Speaking of repeat you only need to show the background check on Stella once. Find a another way to pin point or highlight the important stuff. It felt like filler to push the book to the #of words/ pages for novel status.Now on to the dark...... There is mention of a BDSM club, one instance of soft bondage, a couple of slaps on the bottom area and a little and I mean a smidge of D/s, but it is nothing close to Judgement by Denise Hall or Tex by Dahlia West. NOW those are BDSM  D/s all the way! And it isn't a mind f*€k leaving you feeling icky like Dying to survive ( or plenty of fish - the dude keeps changing the name-) by Scott Hildreth. Better yet to give you the creepy gore feeling it needed the description there is in Zeke Wodke Hawkison. It could have been so much more. The potential was there. I know many were upset by the not so HEA ending, some seem to think the ending was confusing it was just plain rushed. All in all you didn't get to feel connected to anyone and it didn't give you the scary thriller ride but I did give it 2 stars because it had potential and the sex scenes were ok.
