DESCRIPTION:
Belle Walker lives in a strict society where women are treated as property, sold to the highest bidder soon after their eighteenth birthday. But the auction isn't the only danger. Though she's never seen them, she knows monsters live outside the city. These creatures have allowed the humans a small area to inhabit with the promise to leave them in peace as long as they never cross the boundary. On the day Belle is sold, one of the monsters breaks that promise and enters the city, intent on having her as his own.**This book is intended for an adult audience and contains master/slave, multiple partners, girl on girl, alien sex, and oral play.**

*NO Spoilers
Kitty rocks! I just had to get that out the way. She just has a way with words and making such topics and genres not only amazingly compelling but unputdownable.
The Auction is a superb Dark Erotica Novella that I read in less than 1h and a half. Sexy, hot, creepy and arousing, all at the same time. I could have never told from the cover, but The Auction has some sci-fi elements, all of which just made the story that much richer.
In The Auction we get introduced to Belle, while she is waiting to be sold to the highest bidder. In her world, women being sold and owned is a common thing, especially since she lives in a society that had to rebuild itself in another planet and has a quite different moral system then our own.
Unexpectedly, she gets bought by one of the local “monsters” and takes away from the only world she has ever known. With Master and Sir, she learns a lot about herself, pain, pleasure and life.
I loved how this time around the Master is literally from another planet, one of my favorite blogger made an excellent point by saying:
“I thought the inclusion of ‘monster masters’ was quite ingenious – so often in Kitty’s works the dominant (human) male is bordering on demonic (‘Comfort Food’, being a prime example). But in ‘The Auction’ the heroine’s sexual partners are, literally, monsters – and one of them even has a devilish resemblance. It’s a nice bit of fantasy to play with.” – ALPHA Reader
I totally agree with it and I think that The Auction just shows how awesome Kitty is and I have to say, I cannot wait to see what she comes up with next!

Okay, I have heard such good things about these books by her. I just didn't know if I could really get into them. Curiosity and all... I'll have to check them out. :)
Ingenious? Wow! I will have too look into this. Though this might seem a bit much for me.
I don't care for the cover, they didn't do a good job with the photoshop.
OUUU!!! This sounds like an awesome read! I haven't heard of this title!! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! Another book I need to add to my collection and more spending thanks to you :P hehe :)
Hey! I just had to stop by and leave a comment. I adore Kitty's work and it's so fun meeting fellow readers who does as well!
And the quote from ALPHA reader is very true! I love that Thomas shows that even actual monsters aren't always the true monsters.
Great review!
