Starter off fast and was pretty good for the first couple of chapters
but then it degenerated into a dull plodding mess. After about a third
of the story I gave up. Can not recommend this book  1 out of 5 
(Stark47)

The downward spiral continues for Tessa, her family and Gail the close
protection officer.
I always enjoy very much DFN's ability to describe hellish and 
inescapable places...it kind of grows on you and you can almost feel
the hopelessness of such fortresses. The physical side becomes mental
and the victim's world is constantly shrinking as more and more
vicious bondage is applied to them. DFN is also able to describe
bondage of the mind which is more subtle and devastating than the
physical as her subjects experiment the destroying guilt and shame of
thinking they could stop it anytime if only they were not so 
hopelessly sick. DFN is good at twisting people's minds...
I would have liked to see Gail being brought down and used step by
step too. I missed seeing and touching her in ultimate latex bondage
with her mind so messed up that all her values would be turned upside
down...and it would be so delicious to get a front row seat to witness
Lady Aylesbury's final steps of her demise and transformation! Two
books might not be enough for all that!
Anyway, DFN gives us another very perverse and dark journey into
ultimate sadism which is very gripping and worthy of our, at least my,
attention.

Another story fragment, except this isn't a "story" at all, but rather
a catalog of horrors. A STORY requires struggle on at least some
level, and besides Gail's murder, over in about 10 pages, there is NO
struggle here. All of the major "characters" here are actually
cardboard cut-outs, passive victims who do not in any way resist or
even struggle with their fates. Though there are several hot SCENES,
overall this is a huge yawn.  2 out of 5  (death2uall)

Experiment 1 and Experiment 2 are the author's best works in terms of
preciseness, clarity, imagery and non-repetitiveness.  The train scene
was amazing, described like a movie and of even the bus scene was
magnificent.  The torture scene was very long, detailed and
descriptive, chilling and powerful!  Loved it!!  The the psychological
torture of the mother powerfully added to the story.  I highly
recommend both parts for both a first-time and long-time reader of her
work.  5 out of 5  (NoName)

Really enjoyed this chapter. I was hoping for a chapter 3 with more
mother involvement as promised.  4 out of 5  (p)

This book is about what absolute power can do. A young girl and her
family become "experiments" in the hands of an organisation of super
sadists fronted by Sarka.
DFN (the author)is very skilled at taking us along on a journey which
only goes down for the victims...it makes you question what you feel
as you witness how individuals are stripped of their humanity and how
the light is slowly extinguished in their soul. We get a good insight
at the planning and working of the super sadist commander in chief.
DFN's style of writing is direct and she has found a good balance
between the descriptions of the deviant sexual acts and the
descriptions of what goes on in her character's mind.
She gives us food to hate one of the "victims" and food to admire the
main dominant character.
Don't read this book if you are looking for romance, compromise, mercy
and reassurance that the good ones always get out in the end!
Read it if you want to explore what extreme sm would be about, what
total dedication to sadism would look like and what having one's own
delicate and enjoyable life methodically destroyed would feel like.
This is a very enjoyable foundation for the second installement.
Proofreading needs to be tightened.  5 out of 5  (Dressage10)

This "author's" work was bad enough when the extent of her sins
against literature were that she wrote in sentence fragments rather
than complete sentences, and began at least one in three of those
fragments with the word "Like" which, if she had just refrained, would
have turned at least 15% of her sentence fragments back into real
sentences. But this? THIS is not a story; it is a 175-page story
FRAGMENT in which nothing even mildly interesting happens in the first
100 pages, and which includes a grand total of ONE (count it: ONE)
rather pedestrian manual sex/forced orgasm scene to which the victim
reacts in the "author's" usual overblown and completely unrealistic
manner.

Fair warning: I MAY continue to purchase drkfetyshnyght's ridiculous
trash, but if I do so it will be with the specific intention of
warning as many readers as possible of the ways in which she is
cheating them, for as long as she continues to do so.   1 out of 5

like most people I remember how good the early "books" were and how
bad the latest are, the repetitive repetitions are repeatedly
repeated,(for example) cut them out and you arent left with many
pages, not that you get many to start with, what is barely a book is
always sold in 2 or 3 parts to increase income, and dashed out without
thought to an actually story,
give her work a miss till she starts thinking about her readers the
people who are actually paying for this and not her bank account  1
out of 5  (neveragain)

Rather mild story in the Westworld vein about a female android
developing conscienceness. Not to my tastes but a pleasant read though
a bit long.  3 out of 5  (Stark47 )
