Author information:

"DrkFetyshNyghts writes her hard hitting stories almost as crime novels. The BDSM, the Fetish and the Bondage being the crimes along with the impunity with which the perpetrators operate. This, together with an autobiographical feel and forensic attention to detail, adds a distinctly jagged and disturbing edge to the narrative."

  Author reply: Many thanks for your comments. Stories tend to evolve over the writing process. Please note that the majority of my stories over the last 5 years plus, are over 2 parts or more. And I habitually release part 1 first as I finish part 2. If you are concerned about a story, please contact me and I will be pleased to answer any queries - Once again many thanks for taking the time to comment - Stefani Nyghts aka DrkFetyshNyghts

My love-hate relationship with this author's work has, with this book, slid solidly into hate. I've read two of her previous books and one thing hasn't changed with this one: the author has a maddening, idiosyncratic style of almost mindless repetition that nearly demands that you skim rather than read. Here's a sample: "Maggie had never been able to get over the development of Melody. How she had been more advanced than her years. How she had been much like herself. How her own breasts had popped when she was just twelve years old. She would always remember that would Maggie. And how she hadn't been at all surprised when Melody more or less followed the same development path. Mature physically and with the mind always playing catch up." And it's not like this is a once-in-while for emphasis thing. It's constant. The reading is a slog from start to finish. You might ask, knowing this, why read her work? Her previous books delivered in unique fashion lez-dom sexual control and graphic torture with a pretty good look into the heads of torturer and victim. Sadly, this is almost absent from this book. There's a little teaser at the front and a bit at the end, but the middle is a mind-numbing, boring yet grim look into someone going to pieces under pressure. I kept waiting for the good bits that never came. Normally, at the end of book, I'm sad and want more. At the end of this one, it was, "Thank heaven, it's over." The author took a short 70,000 word novel and cut into to novellas so she can sell it as twice the prices. Maybe, just maybe, all the good stuff is in Taken II? I want to know if I can permanently put this author on my never-to-be-read-again list. I'm just not sure it's worth another $7 to find out. 1 out of 5 (Aalok)

  Author reply: Thank you for the time you have spent reveiwing this - I appreciate ALL feedback, as always. My 'style' although evolving hasn't really changed since the Devastation series, which was my first ever published. And that book or series, prided itself on the immersion made possible via repetition. I think my work is meant to be read, alone, curtains closed, all outside influences eradicated. Yes a hard read if you're not immersed but the rewards come if you immerse without question. On pricing, it is based on word count I think, so, apart from a rudimentary difference by having a story split into 2, it make very little difference to me. I tend to write in 2 parts to give readers a breather, as opposed to it being for financial reasons. Once again many thanks for your comments. Please DO read Part 2 of Taken :)

Good book. Storyline similiar to some of his other books but if you liked them you will like this one. 4 out of 5 (SM)

Can't recommend this series. There is too much time jumping which leads to essentially a recap of previous pages. It isn't hard to follow but terribly annoying. This is just a way to extend a short story into a 2 book ramble. 1 out of 5 (Stark47 )
