Iblīs Affliction is a dark, intense, and violent story. Nero Seal takes his characters down paths others would probably fear to tread with the exception of maybe Stephen King. I am not even sure how to label this story other than it a brilliant tale of obsession, bdsm, and discovery. Seal creates so many levels that someone might get lost in the obvious surface level violence, but there is so much more.
This book might be a trigger for some people due to the number of issues it addresses, but it also looks head on into a relationship between Dom and sub. It takes on the issue of coming out or even the idea of sleeping with a man in their society. Choices made and not made. Then the question: what will we accept or not accept for love? Do or not do?
Seal makes you think - well Seal made me think. I have an advantage over some readers as I have experience in the BDSM world so I was not taken aback by the scenes where others might be. It was other areas that made me hit the “pause” button and think and is that not what any good book is supposed to do?
Seal you can take to the dark anytime for the ride might be scary, but damn what a ride.
I received an ARC of this book and I am writing a review without prejudice and voluntarily.
