Here's the review I submitted to Amazon:
Lena White's series: "Slave of the New Confederacy" is one of the works that got me interested in erotica as a genre. That series centered on Grace Rooney and what happened to her when she was tricked into slavery in the New Confederacy. In the New Confederacy, race based slavery had faded away. But there had been a reintroduction of the institution based on sex, with wealthy white planter types using the prison system, the banking system, and, importantly, luring young women from the North into the Confederacy in order to supply them with nubile slaves.
In the series, Grace was very resilient and adapted well to her place as a slave prostitute subject to the most grueling and torturous conditions.
I'm old enough to have met some of the well off Southerners who were among the elites during the Jim Crow era. White has portrayed their overall attitude pretty well.
One thing that puzzled me about Grace and the other slaves was how well they adapted to finding themselves so suddenly thrown into such dire, humiliating, and dehumanizing conditions.
But, the series is a dark erotic fantasy. So, I made allowances for the genre.
NOT THIS BOOK.
"Grace's Revenge" is not erotica. It is a novel about rage and revenge. Grace, if you'll recall, escaped from the South with the help of Tyler Clayton, whose father had owned Grace and whose treatment of her had led to Tyler falling in love with her and, once Grace was free in Ohio, marrying her.
But now, Grace can't accept that Henry Clayton - who had tortured and killed so many slave girls - was getting away with what, in any other jurisdictions, would be horrific crimes.
White's very prose conveys Grace's righteous rage. Her descriptions, her dialogue, the tempo of the story, all bring to the reader the underlying demand for justice that motivates Grace, Tyler, and her friends.
It is brilliant writing. Some of the best mood setting I've ever seen.
I bought this book as soon as it appeared. I've already pre-ordered the sequel.
It's easily a five star piece of literature.
