Book post: Slave Jade by Claire Thompson
Title: Slave Jade: Formerly Kidnapped
Author: Claire Thompson
Number of pages: 162
Genre: romance
Book Number/Goal: 20/50
My Rating: 3.5/5
Review:
A lonely nerd who enjoys roleplaying a "master" on an Internet BDSM site gets obsessed with one of his online girlfriends, figures out her RL identity and kidnaps her in order to bring his freaky fantasies into reality. The story is similar to "Obsession" by the same author, which also describes kidnapping and training a non-consenting slave using torture/abuse and brainwashing techniques, but "Slave Jade" is considerably less romantic and more realistic. Unfortunately, realism doesn't make the action more exciting (rather, opposite) because the male protagonist is a delusional loser and hardly inspires any sympathy. Still, the book provides quick and easy weekend reading and has its highlights. The moral of the story seems to be "do not trust people you meet on the Internet, and never share personal information" ;)
