My name is Avery Decker, and my story isn’t for the faint of heart. It is about revenge and hatred, misery and violence. I wasn’t always this way even though it was in my blood. I grew up happy and in love with my best friend until she betrayed me and walked away. After that, I fell into the deep, dark world I was meant for. Presleigh Clarke's actions turned me into the ruthless man I am today. Too bad for her, I believe people should pay for the things they have done. The more painful and messy, the better. I get off on making people bleed. It feeds my inner demon, and right now, he is starving. She crossed me once, so now she’ll know what it’s like to fear me. But not all stories end the way you think they will … mine certainly didn’t.

Excerpt
Big blue eyes stare into mine with a look of terror. Good, she recognizes me. Even in her drunken state, and eleven years later, she still knows who I am.
Her pink lips part, inhaling sharply. Her entire body goes rigid. I take a step toward her as she pulls me in just as she always did. I never could control myself with her. But this time has to be different. I have to be in total control of myself and of her.
She doesn’t move.
She doesn’t blink.
She doesn’t breathe.
Deciding to close the gap completely, I take two more steps until my body is close enough to feel the heat radiating from hers. Her long, dark hair drapes over one shoulder, and it looks good on her. She loved when I used to run my hands through her short hair and play with it. Now I just want to wrap it around my fists and force her to her knees. We never did fuck. We made love—always soft and slow. Now when I picture us in bed together, she is bound and gagged. That way, she won’t be able to stop all the sadistic shit that comes to mind.
I’ve become one of those men I swore to never be! All because of her.
I want her to beg me.
I want her to bleed for me.
I want her to love me.
But I’m not stupid. None of those things will come willingly. I’m gonna have to take them. And I have no problem with that. She made me who I am today, after all.
She continues to stand there like a deer in headlights. I give her a threatening smile but reach out to tuck her hair behind her ear in an innocent gesture when what I really wanna do is slap that look of surprise off her face.
Her body physically shakes.
“Hello, Bunny. Miss me?â€
 Slaughter by Shantel TessierBrittany's rating: 5 of 5 stars Five huge, dark stars! This is definitely one of my favorite dark romances that I've ever read. Dark romance is my favorite sub-genre of romance and it's really hard to find a good, meaty dark romance. This one deals with kidnapping, rape, and sex trafficking, which makes for a really intense story. There's more to these characters than we're first led to believe. There are many people that are behind the scenes on the sex trafficking side. Poor Presleigh has a rough time, has had a rough life at some points, and she finally deserves happiness. But that's not gonna happen for a while. Nearing the end of the book, we're getting a feel for Tristan and Chloe and their story. I'm excited to read their book, because I'm not ready to say goodbye to these characters and there's still someone that's still alive that shouldn't be. I think it's absolutely adorable that Avery calls her Bunny. It's so stinking cute and makes my face hurt from smiling so much. This is in my top tier for dark romances. It's dark and evil, sinister and wicked, and not to mention sexy as fuck. The sex was off the charts hot. Shantel Tessier has a new fan and I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.
