Club Mephisto (Mephisto #1) by Annabel Joseph

8/10/2014

Molly is a 24/7 slave dedicated to serving her Master. When her Master’s business calls him away on a weeklong trip, he arranges to leave her in the care of Mephisto, the owner of a thriving local BDSM club. Molly is both excited and scared to be given over to Master Mephisto. His power and mysterious intensity have long compelled her from afar.

Molly finds herself immersed in a world of strict commands, pervasive sex, and creative torments. Over the course of a week, Mephisto strips away privileges Molly took for granted, and forces her to understand and acknowledge the depths to which she can be made to submit. But a surprising conversation the last day threatens Molly’s worldview, as does the strange closeness that develops between them. As the time of Master’s return draws near, Molly finds herself deeply and inexorably changed, and more determined than ever to live completely surrendered to her Master's will.

Review by Brittany

Molly used to work at Club Mephisto, a local BDSM club. There, the owner and head dungeon master, Mephisto, introduced her to the man she now loves, the one she’s been married to for years, and her Master.

            Her Master is good to her. He loves her and treats her well. But what happens when he has to go on a business trip for a week? He gives her over to Master Mephisto, where he expects that she will be trained even more than she already has been.

            Molly is at first terrified to be left with Mephisto. She is also upset about not having her Master with her for a whole week. Slowly, Mephisto breaks Molly down using techniques such as speech restriction and orgasm denial.

            This one week will change her, but will it change the way she feels about her Master?

            I am a part of a group on Facebook dedicated to those that love to read dark books. This isn’t my definition of dark, but it is a really good look into the Master/slave lifestyle. And this book is HOT. Don’t read it if you don’t have any way to relieve yourself… because trust me, you will feel your lady parts start to throb.

            Annabel Joseph has this unique way of writing. Someone told me it was “elegant” and I have to agree. Her writing is very proper, but it fits so well with this story. Her descriptions are not over done, and her erotic scenes are written with a classy air about them. And as I said, they are HOT. There was not one scene in there that I was not turned on. I cannot give her enough props for that.

            I also mentioned that it was a good look at the Master/slave lifestyle. It really is. She must have done some exceptional research or be apart of it herself. You can really feel, as the reader, what it would be like to be the slave, kneeling at your Master’s feet, wanting to do anything and everything to serve him, to please him.

            This book was also exceptionally edited. There were only a few mistakes, and they didn’t take away from the story. I am very analytical with everything I read, because I beta, edit, and proofread, so when something such as this comes along, with few errors, it makes me a happy reader.

            I am definitely going to check out Mephisto’s point of view, in Molly’s Lips. And of course I will check out the ending to the series, Burn for You. Annabel, you have a new fan. I will have to someday get your paperbacks, signed of course, to add to my collection.

            Five stars! This is probably the best BDSM book I’ve read. I have stated multiple times in this review about the things that go on in this book, so if you do not like it, do not read it. But I did, and I will be checking out more of her work!
