〈長恨歌上之巻〉蛇性の婬 (Chokonka, #1) - Shikiko Yamaai, 山藍 紫姫子, 水上 シン
I am giving this solid 4 stars for the combination of both Book 1 and 2. The story is delightfully smutty and erotic as hell.

This book is quite extreme on the BDSM play. No rules or safewords here. It was powerplay with 24/7 TPE and there is lots of pain involved with the pleasures. Totally noncon drugged sex and tons of rapes. A very very rapey novel.

After finishing the book I still couldn't tell if there is an ounce of romance involved between the rapist and rapee. Feels more like an obsession to me. I do wonder if what the rapee felt for his rapists was a sign of Stolkholm Sydrome. Anyhow I must say that the relationship between these three men are truly intriguing. They had some kind of unique twisted bonds between all three of them. Yup, this is a menage. Two hunky virile men continuously fucking one beautiful androgynous young man against his will.

What makes this book even more unique is that the story was mostly told from the point of view of a virginal girl. A chance meeting of these men had drastically changed and molded this innocent young girl's life from a carefree young heiress to a lovesick and disturbed young woman. It is not everyday you get to read a gay story or in this case a Yaoi story from a woman's view literally. Not talking about female authors writing a gay story here but to watch a gay story unfolds behind the eyes of a female character. Refreshing right?

If I am to summarize this, I would call it a quality spank bank material with substance. Lots of substance and character. Hell! I wish the author would indulge me with further continuation stories of these three mysterious men.

If you want to learn more about this story, Mizuki a GR friend of mine has summarized it in her review here and here.

P/S: There is animals party crashing. Live animals involved in the sex play but it is not bes-tia-li-ty. Very kinky indeed.
