What is this book about?

In the land of gods and monsters, she was a toy. A plaything. A pet.

His pet.

Taken, stolen, beaten, used.

Pet remembers nothing before his touch, and afterward she craves nothing more.
Sinful and merciless, Ares is her god now. He alone says when to beg, when to come, and when to kneel, but he never said anything about leaving.

Warning: In the Land of Gods and Monsters is a dark romance novel. It contains strong sexual themes, dubious consent, graphic violence, and may contain triggers for some readers.



My Thoughts... 

I was so excited to read this book, I had herd such amazing things and for the most part it lived up to the hype. But after maybe 30 to 40 percent of the book, it started to become a little too predictable. I kept on reading because i do enjoy a dark story. However the first 40 percent of this book was very gripping and it had me on the edge of my seat. 

One thing that I did not really like was the amount of sex scenes and torture scenes. There was just too many of them. I would have liked some character development or even some background on the characters. Mainly the captors, in how they started and why they began to kidnap people and then sell them. Although, the sex scenes were hot and steamy, there was also BDSM in this book and there was some m/m, m/f and m/f/m action going on. 

Overall, I did enjoy the storyline, its what kept me reading the book. I am looking forward to the next book after the cliffhanger we were handed and hopefully we get more background information on all the characters, I would really like to know more about Pet's captor.
