But she can't seem to find the right person to satisfy her extreme needs. One hel Well I wasn't expecting that What we do know is this - that he rebelled against Duke William and endeavoured to dethrone him - that he was compelled to fly from Normandy - that he spent the rest of his life supported by the bounty of the Count of Boulogne - and that King William on his death-bed spoke with anger of his hostile conduct. Descent is definitely a great start to see what Ashton and Drew has in store for these individuals. Raw, intense, disturbing at times and erotic, this first installment of the Inferno Series is only a glimpse of what is to come.
I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of Descent, the first collobaration between Ashton Blackthorne and Drew Sera, and this is my freely given, honest review. I have read works by both of these authors and I had very high hopes when I received a copy of Descent. I was not disappointed. Through reading, we get glimpses of both their pasts, and the events that molded them into the people they are when we meet them in the book I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of Descent, the first collobaration between Ashton Blackthorne and Drew Sera, and this is my freely given, honest review.
Through reading, we get glimpses of both their pasts, and the events that molded them into the people they are when we meet them in the book. As I read, I found myself empathizing with Leda and her frustration with not being able to find that one person who could fullfil a need she had that is an integral part of who she is as a person.
Though that need may have gotten it's start from traumatic events as a child, it is still a part of her. She is a hard core masochist and she needs a hard core Sadist to fill that void in her life. Colt is a man who has such a dark past that it has shaped him in a way that others seem him as damaging. However, the darkness in Colt draws her in like a moth to a flame.
He hs a hard core Sadist in need of a hard core masochist who can handle the kind of play he needs. When Colt and Leda finally come together, to say it is explosive would be putting it lightly. Their chemistry is off the charts and when Colt finally breaks down her walls and gets Leda to voice how she truly feels about the one who abused her as a child, though his means of doing so may seem harsh to an outsider, it was exactly what she needed.
Descent is the first book in The Inferno Series and I, for one, look forward to seeing the wild, dark journey Ashton Blackthorne and Drew Sera take their readers on! Sep 24, Ang rated it it was amazing. The descent into ones deepest darkest recess, the place where our secrets lurk and sometimes haunt us from within. That's the place where nothing is hidden and yet we hide everything from everyone.
Leda and Colt both have such a place, a place inside where only they know how to soothe the pain, only they know the balm that's required to soothe and heal. That is until they meet each other. One fateful night when Leda is in search of that one thing to make her whole, that one night she stumbles upo The descent into ones deepest darkest recess, the place where our secrets lurk and sometimes haunt us from within. One fateful night when Leda is in search of that one thing to make her whole, that one night she stumbles upon the enigmatic, charismatic and sadistic Colt.
Colt knows what is required to soothe Leda and he will be the balm for her troubles, what he doesn't know, is that she will be the balm for his. Leda is making him break all his rules both personal and those of his club Seven. The Master Dom is not beyond reproach, he's about to feel what breaking rules is all about.
This is a great story, much sadness is involved in their history, as well as such intensity. I really enjoyed the story, this collaboration of authors is off to a great start.

Sep 24, Book-Lovin-Momma rated it it was amazing. Ashton Blackthorne and Drew Sera team up for this fantastic, deeply dark, sexy treat! Both our hero and heroine have suffered abusive and dark pasts, and both of them are in a different place now - Colt is the sexy Dom who is in control but enjoys giving pain, and Leda is a sub ready to learn how to cope, which leads her to SEVEN as an Initiate. I have to say, Initiate Night is thrilling! Colt's and Leda's chemistry is undeniable, and sexy hot! They are the missing pieces of each other.
As Colt leads Leda through her Initiation, will she be strong enough to last? Will Leda and Colt bring solace to each other? As with these authors' other books, this book was remarkably well written, so illicit, exciting, and daring, yet with deep emotional arrest! I definitely look forward to more of the Inferno Series!

He is the Master Dom. Generation of Dome and a very exclusive club. He likes to inflict pain. Leda is invited by her friend Chastity and her friends boyfriend Wade. They can't even understand what she is looking for and Cole might be just the person to give it to her.

I am an avid reader of both Ashton Blackthorne and Drew Sera separately but put them together and The way too people, both survivors of different kinds of abusive childhoods, one of whom needs to feel pain, the other needs to give it, gravitate towards each other and could make each other whole, complete one another just made so much sense to me.

Did not want the book to end, can't wait until book 2 is available. Sep 25, Krystal Amora Book Reviews rated it it was amazing. Granted this is the first book in this series and you most definitely descent into the darkness which left this reader needing to keep dry panties handy. Not only was this a hot steamy read but it was fun to read the two P Descent: Not only was this a hot steamy read but it was fun to read the two POV of our main characters.
As a reader, I really enjoy dark books so this series will be a top read for me. The debauchery Leda and Colt only added to the reading experience. These two have very dark pasts that have molded them into who they are today. We first meet Leda. To say Leda has a dark past would be an understatement but she is trying to function the best that she can.
She is searching for that Dom that will fulfill her specific need to feel. There is a feeling you get when you read about Leda that is hard to pinpoint, maybe sadness, worry, anguish or just plain feeling sorry for her. He has a very dark side with just as messed up past as Leda. He is successful and extremely wealthy.
Did I mention he is also a Dom? He has been unsuccessful in finding a woman who can fulfill his every desire. What can be so difficult to find this woman? No one has been able to get past his 7 circles. Not going to explain this statement you will understand once you read the book. There are many dark secrets and desires in this book. We learn about the exclusive Seven club that both Wade and Colt belong to along with the strict code of conduct they have.
We are left hanging but satisfied that the book ended in a good place. There is so much underlying in this book that it is impossible to discuss without giving away anything. I found myself drawn in quickly to this first installment of the series and really need to second book. Sep 24, Natalie Johnson rated it it was amazing. Leda nicknamed by her best friend in third grade as "Leeds" has been sheltered by her parents. She is 28 years old and moving in with her best friend Chastity and her boyfriend Wade.
Colt is a businessman who happens to be the Master Dom at "Seven" the exclusive BDSM Club that his ancestors had been Master Dom at for generations, but has not managed to bring an initiate through his seven circles. He is a Leda nicknamed by her best friend in third grade as "Leeds" has been sheltered by her parents. He is a sadist and has managed to break every girl who he has been with. Both Leda and Colt are tortured souls who survived tragic childhoods, but survived. Leda doesn't believe she deserves pleasure doesn't believe she deserves anything but pain.
She is fascinated with Colt after witnessing a scene that he is in at Seven when she is brought by Chastity as a guest. After her initiate night with a Dom is less than adequate and his initiate is let go after there first scene. Leda and Colt begin to talk and get to know each other. Can they save each other? Can she survive the pain he needs to inflict? Can he provide the pain she needs to feel? This was an amazing start to this series and I can't wait to see what comes next!
I love Ashton and Drew's writing separately, but together they are super hot! Read Descent, you will love it! Sep 26, Carrie Waltenbaugh rated it it was amazing. If you are lover of the dark, lover of BDSM, or a lover of knowing with pain come pleasure.. Well then this is one for you to one click.
