The Sleeping Beauty Trilogy - Anne Rice (as A. N. Roquelaure)

One Sentence Summary:
what if prince charming was not charming at all, instead was a sadistic soulless man who awoke the sleeping beauty by violently raping her virgin body.
Review:
if that one sentence summary did not sound like something you would enjoy reading do not read this series (or this review) this trilogy is all about violence and humiliation. Think of the rape scene in A Clockwork Orange, multiply it by ten and have it last three whole books. These books are not for the light of heart. I do not recommend them to anyone who isn't heavily into bdsm and that whole pain is pleasure idea. They are rather dark and twisted versions of erotica. The writing and descriptive power is amazing though. I am not sure how Anne Rice managed to write many of the scenes with out crying. The characters are all really well written and you will probably hate them all, but remember they are all a product of the culture they were born into. I only would recommend this to someone really into the dom/sub sex scene. 
6/10
