The Unkindness: A Tale of Love, Sex, and Espionage
The last years of the Cold War. Super-spy Ravenna Crowe, codenamed the Unkindness, has stolen her agency's deadliest secret weapon.
Sharp as her whip and twice as cruel, Ravenna's only desire is to grind weaklings beneath her shiny patent heels. Her mission? Force her stolen asset to submit and use its supernatural abilities against anyone that stands in her way.
Except she gets far more than she bargained for in the form of Fenestra, a submissive who's all too eager to obey Ravenna's every command. Mercilessly imprisoned, disciplined, and forced to kneel before a six-two goddess of it's Fen's wildest kinky fantasy come true! But Fen's devotion extends beyond her duties. As a mere submissive, she can't hope that Ravenna might reciprocate those warm, tingly feelings she has for her. Rogue super-spies have more important things to deal with, right?
Meanwhile, Ravenna is learning just how much upkeep her new asset requires. Between punishing Fen for all her mishaps and fending off agents fighting to recover their asset, Ravenna barely has time to tamp down those ghastly fuzzy emotions in her chest. But tamp them she must, for she cannot risk losing control of the woman—the weapon she stole.
Ravenna has never failed a mission and doesn't intend to start now. Will Ravenna succeed in her carefully concocted plans for world domination? Or will Fen's love be strong enough to melt Ravenna's frozen heart and shake her resolve?

This is a creative and heartfelt book of kinky BDSM delights and dark traumas. A story of two women who have led lives of suffering finding each other and learning how to be what the other needs, propelled by a truly unpredictable plot that had me staying up at night to tread “just one more chapter.”

Heartfelt and deliciously kinky.
This book is a must read for anyone who enjoys total power exchange and plentiful spice. I found the story deeply moving, as well. There were times that I had to work very hard to hold my tears in. The payoff at the end was well worth the read.

A more precious and sweet story than you might expect, some hope and yearning for two monsters. I appreciated and resonated with how the book depicted submission, as something devoted, willing, and open.
This book felt a bit like a more fun Killing Eve. The spy games aren’t really the focus of the story, and are often written from Fen’s adorably clueless and trusting POV. It opens a fair bit after the blurb, in the middle, familiarising you with their strictly kinky relationship.
A great read and a rare find. I shed a happy tear for the ending, and some jealous ones too.
