Outcast #1
Outcast
As a half demon, she was always alone, abused and used by men who hated her for her parentage.
Elin faces an exile within an exile just to continue her meager existence, especially as the four bandits have to hide out in the mountains for months. She was almost grateful it had taken this long for the three men to turn on her.
But when a helping hand of one of her rapists is extended to her, breaking a lifetime of precedence, can she dare hope that it might mark a change in her fortunes? Or is even a minor act of kindness too good to be true?
A twisted love story that will wrench your heart and tease your loins.

Genres:
This is a dark-fantasy erotica.
The story & characters:
Not really an elaborate storyline type of book, more focus was put on the character development & sex scenes.
It took me a while to warm-up to the characters, but by the end I actually liked the two main characters (Elin & Ara'bor). I really shouldn't though because they are horrible, horrible people that do horrible, horrible things. If you enjoy cheering on the bad guy then this book might be for you.
I don’t think Elin being a half demon was pertinent to the storyline, but it explained why she was with the group of bandits (among other things). It also added some intrigue to the story & character. I thought she was very likable & I felt sympathetic to her plight.
With Ara’bor, I felt myself getting a little frustrated with his leading abilities. I really wanted more of his PoV. I think I could have understood his decisions better if I knew where he was coming from.
The character names, writing style, & the way the characters spoke took some getting use to. Once I got use to it though, I really enjoyed the way it was written.
Warnings:
Include but not limited to
There was also a cliffhanger of an ending. I don’t know if the authors did this to be sadistic to us readers (insert sad face) or if they plan on making this a series (insert happy face). I really want to know more though on what would happen next and my imagination just isn't good enough to figure it out on my own.
Star rating:
3.5 stars & rounding up to four because if this is a series, it’s a series I’d continue. Also, because I’m a depraved person that enjoyed this book.
Overall:
I would only recommend this to people who enjoy stories with graphic non-con elements.

I am beginning to think that the Keeps get off on being masterful teases, as this is not the first of their work to leave me wanting.

I really hope this is the beginning of a series, because this was a fascinating character study...

Pleasantly surprised! I will admit I was a little uncomfortable at first but by the end of the book I was hooked. I'm looking forward to the sequel. This definitely isn't something I would normally read but I'm certainly glad I did. Well written and extremely original.

It's fantastic to see work like this coming out to give the fantasy settings I love getting a new, adult energy. This author isn't just slapping a fantasy flavour on their work, they really know how to work it in! If you're looking for a fantasy with a quick story that doesn't drag its heels between the steamy bits, you've found it.

2.5 stars. I hate to give such a low rating. It isn't because of the dark nature of this story. I felt captivated at moments, and other times I wished the story would get on with it. I was drawn to the "relationship" that grew between the main two characters, but the ending fell flat for me.

No storyline :(

Do not waste your time! This book has absolutely no redeeming qualities. I almost stopped a few times but I kept thinking it has to get better right? How wrong I was. Not a good or even exciting story it was predictable and sad.

Outcast is about four bandits on the constant move to keep themselves away from those who would willingly turn them in for the bounty on their heads.
Elin is half demon and sneered upon by the others except their leader. It's a fun read, different, and leaves you wanting more.

This one is twisted dark tale about a half-demoness bandit, being turned on by her partners in crime is horribly awesome. If loving you is wrong, I don’t want to be right. My only complaint was the abrupt ending, which continues in the next book. Giving this 4 stars.
