Viktor: (Dark Erotic Fairy Tale Romance Standalone)

Alexis and her younger sister Alisha have lived on the streets most of their lives. Now, Alexis sells herself to keep food in their bellies and the roof of the rented room over their heads. Her friend Deangelo checks out and sets up her "dates" and they split the money. Alisha learned to steal and she's good at it much to Alexis dismay.... Until she tries to steal from the wrong man. It was an act of revenge for the marks he put around Lex's throat. Alexis danced for him last night and she did the one thing she was forbidden to do. She looked at the masked man behind the curtain. He grabbed her throat as she was leaving, but he let her go. Now she is pleading with Viktor not to call the police. He finally agrees, for a price. He wants Alexis to stay with him until he says she can go...... This is a totally twisted story. I mean that quite literally. It's one twist after another. There is no way to prepare you for this disbolical, dark, and erotic version of Beauty & the Beast..... So, Do Ya Think You're Ready?

Trigger warning! Violence and abuse against men and women implied. Beauty and the Beast this ain't and it's not for the weak! Viktor is horribly scarred because of a deed in his past. He hides behind a mask at all times. Alexis is a prostitute and she and her sister literally live day by day. When she's asked to dance for a stranger the job comes with one rule, Don't look at him. When she breaks the rule and is accidentally hurt, her sister goes after him to "make him pay". When she's caught, Alexis makes a deal. Her for her sister! We don't want to admit it but we all know. Monster ARE real! Money and power make them. And once your in, the price to get out? Death, if you're lucky. Viktor's life kills everyone it touches. Can he save her? Can she save him? A raw and gritty ride so take heed of the warning!

I felt the characters were superficial & one dimensional. I've read a few of this author's dark romance books now & I truly believe she should focus her talent elsewhere.
