This book is not for people with any type of triggers that cannot handle extreme graphic situations. I would recommend this to hard core horror fans that have stomachs made of steel! I had to literally read this in small doses as it was a rough read and I do believe that it is the most twisted story I have ever read. With all that being said I am giving this book four "Motel Madness" stars! Joseph Miles is described like something out of a comic book. He’s extremely tall, supremely muscular, and sports a gigantic member that women just can’t seem to get enough of. He also harbors a terrible craving for human flesh.

He hires Shyla – a plus sized prostitute. What follows is one of the most disgusting, beautiful, awful, heartbreaking, f**ked-up, sexually depraved stories I have ever read and I absolutely loved it!

Claustrophobic, controversial, brilliant… inventive, tense, and stringently intelligent.’ - Macleans Once upon a time there was a young prince who believed in all things but three. He did not believe in princesses, he did not believe in islands, he did not believe in God. His father, the king, told him that such things did not exist. As there were no princesses or islands in his father's domains, and no sign of God, the young prince believed his father. Room Review: Emma Donoghue's story of survival is ingeniously staged".
