Dark Rapture Book 2 is seemingly a series story that is internally divided into multiple “books”, but which can be read as a stand-alone book. It has a prequal entitled Hush, which is also identified as Dark Rapture Book 1, and incorrectly identified as as a sequel in parts of its’ description. The prequal introduces the women who become peripheral characters in Dark Rapture Book 2, and whom are later joined by Pearl, the female protagonist of Book 2. There is very intense sexual activity in both books and extreme violence as well in Dark Rapture Book 2.
No Spoiler with this review:
Tanner, Caden, and Owen are billionaire owners of the Fox Pit, an organization that enables its’ wealthy clientele to purchase intense sexual activity from the attractive woman employees (foxes). The concept of a club with select members purchasing services such as those provided by the women in Dark Rapture Book 2 is not new, although those reading about this for the first time might think so. Pearl has a mountain of debt and is struggling to support herself with her unsatisfactory job as a pole dancer. She is approached by someone offering $100,000 for a month of her services to others, those services ranging from pole dancing to intense sexual activity. She accepts and is brought to an unknown location where she and other selected women reside as a group, are presented singularly (or not) in various sexual sessions, and subsequently taken care of by the group’s handler, who also prepares them for each subsequent session. There have been rumors that some girls have disappeared. There are characters that might or might not be abusive, or even evil. There are many over the top sexual scenes (as is done by many other authors who seemingly are not able to create dark romance without doing this repeatedly within their books). Extensive sexual descriptions of the movement of body parts does not necessarily constitute romance. There should be a certain amount of sensuality in at least some of the scenes, but such in short supply in this book. The story starts well, begins to weaken, gets ridiculous during the scene in Tanners bedroom, and then plummets in a continuous downward spiral. This is unfortunate because the story had initially had good potential. I read it through for about 75% of the book and then began skimming through increasingly larger passages until I was finally relieved to get to the end. It seems as if the author intended this to be a series story, and when near the end, decided to extend it by adding a ridiculous concept followed by some sickeningly absurd scenes.
On the plus side the story started well, and included multiple interesting characters which could have been better developed, or possibly later developed into peripheral characters in subsequent books. Additionally, the story was mysterious enough initially to hold the reader’s interest.
Aside from the book’s spiral into the absurd, this book has significant other problems. There are plot holes and plot inconsistencies. An organization as structured as this one and yet where are the cameras? Really??? Contracts and handlers, yet no one explains to the “girls” what they can expect? No pass code or thumbprint was required to use Seth’s phone? Really??? Also, when in danger, Pearl survived some things that even ARNOLD might not have been able to manage. Additionally, the reader is left in the dark regarding the fate of some of the characters. These are just a few things; there are many others, especially leading to and during the chase. Pearl’s character is not believable and helps to ruin the potentially good story. Anyone who is a pole dancer and who had read her contract (and had it briefly explained to her) would not likely have accepted it and then balked and been shocked at almost everything associated with Fox Pit activity after she gets there. It is equally unbelievable that she would have been attracted to and would have enjoyed sexual activity with as many men as she did and yet continued to have trepidation every step of the way, even with some of the same characters. Huh??? Also, she would never have been as foolish as to have given the information away regarding Ethen’s role. Some of Pearl’s actions are worse than unbelievable, they are senseless and so annoying that she makes you almost want to discard the book. The author is fortunate in that her story telling is good enough overall to enable most readers to stick with at least most of the book, despite its plot flaws and the oddly and unwisely developed characters of both Pearl and her friend Greg.
Initially I had considered Dark Rapture Book 2 to be 4-star book. However, by the time that I finished the ending I was debating between 3 stars (to give credit for the opening and other interesting aspects of the story) and 2 stars (due to the downward spiral into the ridiculous parts of the story). After much consideration I decided to rate this book 2.5 stars, which I averaged up to 3 stars due to the effective start of the book and the easy flow of most of the story.
