If you’ve read anything else by Eric LaRocca, you already know what to expect here. This story was very well written, and as Eric does best, it’s a very disturbing story. I always enjoy reading Eric’s work, even if I don’t end up loving the story. This one, I did really enjoy, though. 

The story starts with Ashley, who lost his son and whose wife died. In order to help other people cope with similar trauma, Ashley offers an unusual grieving/healing service. This service leads him to another man, and the story progresses to show the impact of their union. The concept was interesting and it showcased some of the darkest fantasies that man can have. 

Beware of disturbing, gross, and explicit descriptions of scenes throughout this book. If you don’t have a high tolerance for any of the above, this will not be the book for you. Also, do check the trigger warnings.

Thank you, NetGalley, Eric LaRocca, and Blackstone Publishing for granting me access to this audiobook.
