Cursed to not understand that when I felt nothing when I kissed men, it may have been a sign that I was wrong about my sexuality. Cursed to finally understand that I was a lesbian in my sophomore year of college, only to have a disease eliminate any chance of me exploring those feelings in my last two years of school as everyone shuddered in fear in quarantine. And now, cursed to work in an office with humming fluorescent lights, a gurgling water cooler, and zero women around me who are anything but straight, boring, and who seem to have already given up on being interesting whatsoever. Except Rosalia. There’s no way I could even try, though. Right? April has just gotten a job at Merihem, an anonymous and boring company that does boring and anonymous things. She’s fresh out of college and powerfully depressed about everything. On her first day, she meets Rosalia, who sparks something within her she’s never felt before. The main problem is that Rosalia appears to hate the very idea of April’s existence. But…April also finds that she is enamored with Rosalia’s hatred, by her darkness, and by the messed-up things she insists on talking with April about. April becomes obsessed with Rosalia, and wants to earn her favor, no matter what she has to go through to get it. And, after some rough but desperately hot hookups and sex, April’s devotion to Rosalia only deepens. It's a shame April doesn't realize that Rosalia is a demon until it's far too late for her to escape her clutches. A real pity. This book is a dark romance from Chloe Slate, the author of the best-selling hits The Mansion and The Startup. But be warned, fair reader, the wicked tale contained in Prey For Me is far darker, far more troubling than any of Chloe's previous works. There's no fun to be had here. .. unless, of course, you find things like this fun. .. less
