Review: 5 stars

General: Hot, steamy and so sexual you’ll forget you’re reading an actual in some points! This book was very well written. From plot, to setting to all the little details it was a fantastic read and a hot one as well. Albeit, it was a little weak on actual story it was a perfect slice of life in my opinion into the world that Voodoo belonged too. The main element of the novel felt a little forced, a stalker. It felt a little contrite and more of a way to force the interaction of Voodoo and Iris along. By that I mean I never really felt the tension in anything regarding the stalker and would like to have seen a little bit more intensity from that plot.

Voodoo touches on a touchy subject for not only readers, but writing as well. BDSM is constantly written about, sometimes positively and sometimes made to be a joke, a reflection on bad writing normally. Voodoo was written with integrity and I feel some novels of this nature are not. I felt that it was the biggest accomplishment in the book. However the characters were scorching and entertaining. A definite must read.

Characters: Voodoo- Voodoo is the Master in this book. I rarely start with the male as books are typically told from the females perspective more often. However, I feel Voodoo is the obvious lead in this book. He is sexy from head to toe and a true master in BDSM. He put himself second, a trait many think is the opposite of a good Master. His purpose is to help and guide his submissive and his dealings with his inner issues of commitment flew in the face of this and made him a truly complex and entertaining male.

Iris- Iris is a strong and independent character, despite being submissive. I never felt like she wasn’t actually completely in control. She struggled at first to accept the idea of Voodoo and it was realistic. Her entire journey from curiosity, to dabbling to lifestyle was so easy to connect with and a great heroine experience.… (altro)
