Safe Word Book

A continuation of Carrie's story. I don't know what possessed me to pick up book number two when I didn't care all that much for the first one.

It isn't that the books are poorly written - for the most part the story carries you along and you are anxious to know what happens next BUT these books are for sadists.

When you consider all that Carrie goes through physically it is a wonder she didn't require a lengthy hospital stay - not to mention how screwed up a person would have to be mentally to find that sort of continued abuse pleasurable. This is punishment at the hands of people who get off on hurting other people for their own pleasure and considering that Carrie wasn't a pain slut- I don't get the reason she sticks with it. To please Jonathan? To please herself? Not that she is allowed such luxury.

I found myself skipping bits of this book. I was impatient to be done with it. I can deal with BDSM punishment when it is written as safe, SANE and consensual but there is little sane about what happens with Carrie. And Jonathan is about as selfish as they come. GAH.

Thankfully, the book ended with a note of hope for sanity and for a woman finding herself again.

If there is ever another book about Carrie and Jonathan - I am using my safe word and not reading it.
