House Deviant

Rate this book
All I wanted was to take a little control back.
Drake Rhodes stole it from me when he stalked me to the point I had to leave my family, but House Deviant promises healing.
They promise thirty days of facing my fears and allowing the darker parts of myself out to play in a safe, controlled environment.
But there's nothing safe or controlled when a man leaving Drake's calling card takes me from my home and locks me in a cage around the time that my stay is supposed to begin.

This is House Deviant... or is it?

Have you ever read the content warnings page and was like damn this is going to be a hot spicy read because this book was that for me.

House Deviant is the 3rd book in the Deviant Series. They are all standalones, so you don't have to read the first 2 books first. But you should definitely read them. Deviant is a company with 5 different locations that factor in all your deepest darkest desires and kinks. There's camp, house, hotel, club & class. Each one of these locations are unique in their own way and a place I would love to explore. But House Deviant is definitely darker than Camp & Hotel so far.

Odette felt like she was ruined because of the way her ex-Drake handled her. She never got off the same way again, so she signed up for House Deviant in hopes to clear it out of her system. But what she got was so much more than what she paid for. Drake is obsessive in the major red flag kind of way, but it makes him that much more irresistible. The lengths he goes to should be dangerous but it's hot and sexy in the deranged type of way.

I'm Drake obsessed with this series and Kady's writing. I have devoured this series like I needed it as a food source and can almost guarantee I will be the same with the rest of the series. If you want a dark read with a lot of kinks that is more spice than plot, then you need to pick up this book and fall in love. Thank you, Kady, for an ARC copy of House Deviant. And thank you for awakening a dormant side of me and opening my eyes to so much more!

Mixed Feelings

The way things lined up just seemed strange to me.

Spoilers Ahead

.
.
.

It started out pretty clear how the story would unfold, but it was still enjoyable to read.. I was really into it until several things happened. The doms’ boss shows up and manhandles his toy, clinically, but still all up in her nakey business. He willingly shares her with his not “friend”, despite him having very touch her and 🔪 vibes, which he has done several times. And lastly… his job is literally getting paid to f*ck hundreds of men and women, but he murders her very limited amount of lovers and feels justified doing so???? Uhh.. scratching head over here. She eventually finds out the truth about everything, unrealistically forgives him and they ride off into the sunset while he continues to occasionally share her with this earlier mentioned “friend”. Bro, come on.

What can I say? That I must have lost my fucking mind? That would be it.

I have no words for this book other than that little voice in my head was screaming at me the entire time I was reading “are you fucking insane?” I must be since I finished it and ended up loving it.

Also, please check the TW’s - this is NOT a typical romance smut book but then again you should already know this if you read the other three, either way just check the TW’s. 🫶🏻

I was lucky enough to receive this book as an ARC, and let me tell you it did not disappoint. It is a little different from the other books in her deviant series, but do not let that deter you! It is just as amazing!

ARC Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 🌶🌶🌶🌶/5

TW - suicide (mentioned, one offhand joke and one mention of it happening in a movie), murder / violence (mentioned), familial death (mentioned), stalking, kidnapping, masks, drugging

CW - heavy bondage (cuffs, ropes, shackles), CNC, DubCon, some scenes bordering on non-con, subdrop, breeding, somnophilia, light pet play (cage, collar, pet name), pain kink, degradation, brutal face fucking, dacryphilia (turned on by crying/tears), cum play, marking (cum, hickeys, bruises, cuts, tattoo), pinching, biting, slapping, cropping, spanking, breath play, stockade use, feeding / wiping / bathing, light blood play, orgasm control, orgasm denial, overstimulation, forced orgasms, punishments and rewards, birth control tampering (non-con IUD removal), knife play, rough anal, size difference, primal play, spit-roasting, brief sharing (consensual), total power exchange dynamic

Tropes - erotica, dark(ish), stalker, novella

My reaction to the CW: yum😋

Raise your hand if you learnt or reaffirmed something about yourself reading this book
🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️

This was hot and, like Odette (FMC), I wasn't sure it was real until it's confirmed or denied by the MMC

The premise of House Deviant is that you sign up, list all your kinks, safe words, what you’re okay and not okay with and if you're successful, you get to be a deviant for an entire month when your partner randomly kidnaps you from your life. Like I said, hot

Odette has previously (adverb used loosely) had a stalker so when she is kidnapped after seeing his calling card, she's not sure whether to believe it's her stalker or whether she really is with House Deviant and given her captor / Dom wears a mask, it becomes hard to tell

I really enjoyed this, the scenes were great and done well imo and I loved the MFM scene too

The funniest thing about this was the vitamin that our lovely MMC makes her take because 'she won't be getting sunlight'; yh, right 🤣🤣

Scale:
⭐️ - would've DNF'ed / continued out of spite
⭐️⭐️ - shit, but whatever
⭐️⭐️⭐️ - meh, could've been better
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - lit 👅
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - loved it, inject this shit into my veins 🤪

🫑 - no smut
🌶 - no point
🌶🌶 - mediocre at best
🌶🌶🌶 - standard smut, hot
🌶🌶🌶🌶 - 🥵 okay, some CW
🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶 - fuck me 🥵🥵 CWs / filthy with a side of filth - see Poison / Room Twenty-Two: Hide and Seek

Okay, Kady Ash, I see you.

This is so far the darkest book of the series. Kink-wise and romance-wise.

We’ve got a stalker romance between Odette and Drake.

Mask kinks sure do help to hide identities for a while…

They both need a lifetime of therapy and even then, their relationship would still be toxic. But hey, it’s consensual and that’s all that matters.

Can’t wait to read the next book with Kaz hihi

Favorite quotes (MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILERS):

« House Deviant accepted me. »

« I’m going to be kidnapnned and torn apart by some masked stranger who doesn’t care about anything but xoming and getting paid. »

« No, it can’t be him. It’s been four years, five months and fifteen days since the last incident. He’s dead, in jail, or long gone by ,now, not stealing cookies from my apartment. Not stalking me. Not leaving snippets of gothic poems under my pillow. Not ruining my life. »

« I want to be taken, rough and quick, then locked up in a dingy basement somewhere to be used and abused by someone hot and built like a brick wall. Is it sick? »

« I can’t imagine I’m that entertaining. » « Don’t sell yourself short, pet. You’re my favorite show. »

« Everything about you is breathtaking. Only fair I take yours away too. »

« This pussy is mine. No one else will ever fucking touch it again. Tight little thing was made for my cock. »

« What’s my present? » « I’m going to make you come until you cry. »

« Ruin me. » « Fucking mine. Mine to break, ruin and own. You take me so fucking well. »

« It’s a fucking riding crop. RIP to whatever’s left of my ass. »

« What the fuck is wrong with you? » « A lot of things. »

« This time, I’m consenting to the monster inside you. To all of you. »

« So you choose the villain of your story, baby? » « The only difference between a hero and a villain is perspective. »

« What do you think, baby? You want to be taken by two murderers at the same time? »

‘’It’s not meant to change the world, just to drain the batteries in your favourite toy.’’

House Deviant is the third book in the Deviant series by Kady Ash and it’s the darkest book yet.

Odette has submitted her request to House Deviant to have her deepest, darkest fantasy fulfilled and she’s been approved. Having survived multiple traumas such as losing her whole family, a stalker and now what seems like a ghost who steals her cookies she’s alone and no longer feels alive and she so desperately wants to feel again. So she asks to be taken for the duration of one month and in that month she wants to be degraded, used and broken so that at the end of it she can be put back together.

Kady Ash is a very talented author and she does a brilliant job of writing taboo and filthy scenes. Whilst the large majority of the book was written from Odette’s point of view the author really helped us get inside her mind as she was degraded and abused and it helped us to understand her thoughts and emotions as she felt every moment where a reader who hasn’t enjoyed certain kinks might not usually be able to relate. The play wasn’t just physical there was emotional and psychological play too as the writer makes the reader and not just Odette question if it really is House Deviant at play or could it possibly be the stalker from Odette’s past. I really enjoyed that extra layer.

It’s a massively spicy book with a heavy list of trigger warnings but if you want a quick read full of filth then this is definitely one for you.

Drake - mmc
Roderick - mmc
Odette - mfc

Not a lot of story but a lot of sex scenes.
Very hot!

Not an RH

The female lead character is shared, slightly.

Lots of triggers so check those out before reading.

Highly recommend this book for those who want a quick and smutty book.

Odette was lacking something in her life. After moving on from a constant stalker, things seemed different and she needed a change. She decided to put in a request to join House Deviant. It comes with a secluded membership and it's hard to become a part of. She finally gets accepted and plans her life around the month-long experience.

For House Deviant, you are taken at any time within the month and used as a sex slave for the one who takes you. The day comes and she is taken and has a wild and pleasurable experience.

She realizes very quickly that the man she knows as, Roderick, seems a bit more familiar than she wanted to acknowledge. A short time later she finds out that Roderick is none other than Drake, her past stalker. She questions her sanity when she realizes that she is actually okay with Drake being the one who kidnapped her as he is still within compliance with house deviant rules.

The Story Goes On to explain the progressiveness between the two characters and the life that Odette thought she never wanted was actually the one she's wanted all along.

This story ends in a HEA.

I just completed House Deviant, the third book in the Deviant series, and it was every bit as good as Camp Deviant and Hotel Deviant. The three novellas can be read separately, because each has its own story line and features different couples. This story, like the other novellas in the series, is light on plot but heavy on extremely kinky sex. So, if BDSM sex with a Dom who is brutal in the worst ways possible, highly psychotic and completely unhinged what you're looking for, this entire series will give it to you in abundance! If you have any doubts about your ability to handle this book, please check out the many TW/CW that the author has graciously provided.

All I can do now is wait for the next book in the series, which hopefully will be about Kaz. That short scene with him was incredibly hot and it sparked my desire to find out more about him!

If you can handle the dark themes presented in this book, then I recommend reading the entire series! Because each book is a novella, you'll be finished in no time. I absolutely loved this fantastic series and have become a huge fan of Kady Ash!

I’ve been in a bit of a slump and House Deviant was exactly what I needed to get myself out of this reading slump. House Deviant is the third novella (all complete standalones) in the Deviant series. It’s lower on the plot scale but has an abundance of dark and k1nky smut. I loved it!

Odette has suffered a host of tragedies including the death of her family and a Poe obsessed stalker. In order to gain back some of her control, she signs up for House Deviant. A program where she will be taken for 30 days and kept as someone’s pet for free use. When she is taken, her captor starts quoting Poe to her and she starts to wonder if she was really taken by House Deviant or if her stalker is back again.

This book was so hot and definitely awakened some things in me. This author always writes the best spice! It has been my favorite Deviant series book so far! There are a ton of triggers, so you will want to check the list of TWs if you do have known triggers.

Can’t wait to see what will come next in this series!

Worth reading but....

I liked it and it was well written.. However, there's not any character development nor is there enough substance to the story of this peculiar couple. I would have liked more history of how they met and the initial stalking.. Maybe more about her past and his as to why these two people are finally drawn together and his struggles and planning to actually trick and tempt her into signing onto House Deviant.. Now this has a lot of behaviors that some might be put off..I was not because it fit this couple and it made sense that they both were into the various kinky ways. So, does this lack in some of the things I find important? My answer is no but it would have made it more enjoyable.. I personally would definitely recommend this book and its a quick and very naughty read! I think it deserves my 5 star rating.. So, get ready to sizzle💥 because this one will be a very hot world you enter! Nothing bad happens and a great HEA!

Third times the Charm

The speed at which I devoured all of these books is crazy. Not going to lie I questioned my sanity in this last book. The warnings gave me a pause, but I’m willing to try reading everything once. I’m glad I took the chance with this one.
I loved getting to see the development of their relationship from stalker to husband. I also loved the epilogue and getting to see a glimpse into the future with them.
This whole series has been all spice barely any plot, but honestly that’s sometimes just what a girl needs.
I hope that this author continues the series and we get to see the club eventually.
I would also love to see Kaz get a book, I think he could be just as messed up as the rest of them.

All I can say is that this is the best in this series so far!! I mean I may have seen what was coming from afar, but it doesn’t take from the story even a little bit!! This book was like off the charts spicy!
Please mind the TW as it has a whole slew of them! That being said is far more “offensive” than the others so grab your pearls and confirm your reservation because you may not want to every check out!

I am Drake level obsessed with the Deviant books!! They’re so spicy and dark and I’m just in love!! The burning fire obsession that Drake has for Odette is super intense.

I love the different levels within Deviant. This was the darkest book yet! It for sure is going to be too dark for some but I love that it pushes limits and is outside the norm.

It’s definitely lighter on plot than spice (which of course I love).

It Kept me guessing trying to figure out if the MMC was really from House Deviant or a true stalker. Now if you’re looking for a possessive and dominant male you don’t need to look any further the MMC has it in spades!!! And the spice is just out of this world I mean it is just hot and spicy!
Now you do need to make sure you read the trigger warnings which the author has listed in multiple places.

This is the third standalone book in the dark romance series Deviant. Each book in this series just gets more and more dark, depraved, and addictive. It is a quick, deliciously dirty, sinfull read with lots and lots of spice, smut, kinks and O’s. It is exactly what it says in the advisory content page 10% story and 90% smut, and I am so here for it! Remember to make sure your favourite toy has enough batteries and please check he TW before reading.

Well god damn. Who knew obsession could be so freaking HOT?
You know those darker parts of your soul -- the ones that lay dormant just begging and pleading for the chance to rise up and come out to play?
Well this is where they get to shine in all their beautifully dark and disturbing glory.
I know I keep saying it but now this one’s my favorite in the series. Just wait, I’ll probably change my mind when the next book comes out.

Book 3 in the deviant series. This is a quick read and super spicy! If you are looking for a book strictly based on plot this book isn’t for you. If you’re looking for something kinky that will leave you needing to have some “me time” this is the book for you! This one is a little darker than the others in this series so check the triggers before reading!!

Kady does it once more. Check triggers, this is a stalker/victim, kidnapping and a myriad of other triggers, so this one is DARK. But I was on my toes for huge hunks of the book, never quite knowing if the danger was real or perceived and the characters really sucked me in. As always, be kind to yourselves.

So I’m going to save 3.5 stars. This series is delicious so we knew this was going to be good too! Well it was okay, I’m not a fan of the pet stuff (if it’s your kink then this is your book!) I couldn’t really connect with the main characters like I could the other books. ALTHOUGH I will say this book has one of the HOTTEST 3 some scenes that I have ever read!!!!!!!!! 🥵

Looks like I found the perfect CNC book with a bit of Dark Romance in it. The writer warns at the beginning that it's 10% plot and 90 % smut but I have to disagree! The characters are way more interesting than that. It's about soul mates really. About unapologetic way of life. It was incredible. 💙

extra spicy cnc

Almost all smut with a darker messed up edge. Keeps you guessing for a while if it’s cnc or non/dub con. Really enjoyed this one even though I didn’t like the characters

Super dark and really hot

This was definitely a dark read but really great. It’ll leave you teetering between loving the MMC and hating him…. But of course, by the end you will likely be in love with his obsessive psycho self.

As usual with this series, the spice is 5 🌶️!

I didn’t enjoy this as much as hotel deviant but was still a pretty good read, it was the most darkest one but still a good read, I liked the guessing of who the mmc was and if she was actually in house deviant or not- it’s worth a read if you enjoyed the others.
