Review: A good book with some hard spots

I enjoy books with BDSM themes even ones as intense as this. The orgasm denial frustrated me as much as it frustrated Molly! While the M/s lifestyle isn't one I'd willingly submit to, I can understand the appeal to a certain degree. Submitting and being taken care of would be nice.I liked Molly though I wasn't really able to identify with her. I felt more sympathy because she did everything for her master's satisfaction, like giving up the things she enjoyed. I felt like Mephisto was trying to show her how much she lost by diving so deeply into her relationship with her Master. It felt like her Master felt the same way, but Molly seemed oblivious to her need to have personhood. Maybe that's what she felt she need for stability, maybe that's what she agreed to in her M/s relationship, but it didn't sit well with me. It made the story seem unresolved at the end because I'm not sure she really learned anything.Good book, I just was left feeling like things were undone.
