Pimped Out: Selling my Soul - Part One
Twenty-one-year-old Tyson Reece is down on his luck.
Suddenly finding himself unemployed; pride and his upbringing keep him from accepting handouts, either from his best friend Kyle, or the government.
Broke, hungry and alone, Tyson succumbs to a last resort, contacting Kieran Wayland, his depraved ex.
Sensing an opportunity, a spur of the moment decision brings the police crashing into Tyson's world, setting in motion a chain of events he could never have predicted.
Zara Mulaney, a newly promoted DI, is watching Wayland from afar, convinced he is part of an underworld organisation responsible for a spate of terrifying murders across the city.
Quietly investigating Kieran, she is outsmarted at every turn and believes he is protected by other high-ranking officers within the force.
In a last ditch effort, she approaches Tyson, hoping he is the last piece in the puzzle; the one who can finally bring Kieran to justice.
But, Wayland is a tour de force with friends in high places; arrogant in the belief he is untouchable.
Agreeing to help Mulaney, Tyson is about to be plunged into a world he never dared believe existed.

I read an advanced copy of 'Pimped Out'.
For me, it is THE most diverse book Zane has ever written.
This is an Erotic Thriller with plenty of suspense and drama.
Hot!
Heartbreaking!
Horrific!
Sexy!
Sad!
Sinister!
You have to read it.
Part One knocked me on my arse and I can't wait to see what Part Two brings.

Heartbroken, shocked, devastated and anxious are a few of the emotions I felt for Tyson and everything he endures, after making the biggest mistake of his life, by trying to pull one over the devil himself.
My heart was pumping hard in my chest as Tyson is forced into a sick cruel world where not many survive.
This was a dark, depraved and powerful story that was brilliantly written.... A 5 star read that I throughly recommend.

WOW! Ever read a book you needed time process and really absorb the details you just read.
I think my heart has finally started working again.
Dark, emotional, and painful. I think painful is a good description because my heart ached and still does to think of the things Tyson goes through in this story.
There are a few little glimmers I hung onto while reading to keep myself in check from all of that hurt. It's Zane Michaelson writing without a doubt but this side of his words are just, WOW!
I was reading along when, thunk, my stomach fell out.
Waiting patiently now for part two as I need to hear more about this heartbreaking erotic series.

I love to follow new author's and watch them grow in confidence and style, but this one can switch from genre to genre with such ease. That being said, this is a side of Zane's writing that we haven't seen yet. I've been sat here reading this story with my heart in my mouth; the story is so realistic and scary because this kind of thing is happening. Tyson gets in way over his head when he goes to an ex when he's at his lowest ebb and this then spirals out of control when Kieran notices Tyson has deceived him so now he must pay. But what will the price be ? This story keeps you turning the pages even though your scared what lies ahead for Tyson. Well written and seriously interesting reading.

This story put me in an extreme state of shock! Extremely well written and my heart is just in tatters for Tyson. Never before has a book had me crying for so much of the story while still keeping me reading to see what happens next. And I can't forget the dirty sex scenes - well you will have to read for yourself to see what I mean. This is one extremely emotional story that needs to come with a tissue warning and a kindle safety net. I wanted to throw my kindle at least once or twice. I highly recommend this book to anyone that loves a great story, but it is a MUST read for anyone that likes a dark erotica read. I do believe Zane Michaelson has outdone himself with this series.

Amazing
Zane Michaelson I am completely speechless! What an amazing book! I didn’t know whether I should cry or be really angry. Kudos to you Mr. Michaelson you just brought it to a whole new level 💜💜

Oh What can I say OMG! WOW LOVE It...
It is dark and different to Zane's other books but I have to say my heart was in my mouth my emotions were all over the place I felt it all the way to my gut! and i did need some tissues (but if you read Zane's books you know you will be needing tissues)
Zane's style of writing is so good that it makes us feel the characters and they become real not just a name in his book and that is MORE SO in this story.
I absolutely love a dark story but I have never read a dark story that has effected me as much as this book did. you made me feel emotions I'm not used to feeling when reading a dark book.
I was looking forward to this book and so excited to read it you never disappoint me and you haven't now
I'm just so moved in away I have NEVER FELT before I feel like I need to hug you and Tyson.
It's a Brillant, moving, tragic, heartfelt emotional well written book that will touch you ...
if you like a dark story this is definitely a book to read.
I highly recommend it.

Fantastic read, but not for the faint of heart. What happens to Tyson at the hands of a deplorable creep (Kieran) is a real example of man’s inhumanity to man. But, the work has an overall positive tone because even in the face of humiliation and brutality, Tyson finds true love. If you are looking for a read that showcases the strength of the human spirit and the power of friendship, I highly recommend Pimped Out.

Brilliant!! Left me speechless!!!
I think I held my breath each chapter at a time......
Zane, as usual has written these characters in such a way that they work their way into your heart and soul, resulting in me falling in love with Tyson from page one, and possibly dispising Keiran more than I ever thought possible! I wanted to scream at Tyron through the pages out of pure frustration at times and then to hug him and never let go at others. This is such a brilliant storyline, going in a direction I didn't expect. I'm counting down the weeks and days to book two! Highly recommended!

This was a very well written dark, book. Even as I'm typing, I'm still absorbing the emotions that ran through me reading this. Happy, sad, scared, yelling at Kindle, hoping for a miracle, but if not for his friend, think I would have been truly traumatized in Ty's life as he needs someone on his side As this author has not written anything this dark, but he did a very good job and hit it spot on. Poor Ty, I'm hoping in the 2nd book he gets his rewards. Recommend highly.

Pimped Out
Zane has done it again! I always know when I start one of Zanes books I won't be going anywhere till I've read it to the end.
This was a brilliant story of a young man who found himself out of work and made one bad decision that lead to a story of pain and regret. But no spoilers!
To find out what happens to Tyson Reece you'll have to read for yourself...

Your heart will go out to Tyson.
He's a young man down on his luck, that hooks up with an ex who turns out to be a monster.

Be warned...
I personally love the darker side.

Meet Tyson and prepare to have your heart broken...
An absolutely breathtaking and equally devastating book!
Tyson is in a place where anyone of us could easily find themselves. No job, no money, no food to eat!
Deciding to contact his ex is difficult yet he feels he has no choice to survive. The events that follow are heartbreaking and I cannot wait for book 2 to see how events unfold. Zane Michaelson has a very direct and realistic way of writing life’s bleak, dark and twisted stories. I absolutely loved this book. Highly recommended.

This story is an intense and dark erotic read. It is a page turner and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Your emotions will range from heartbreak, sadness to anger, especially for the main character, Tyson. The story has so much emotion it will leave you speechless.

The beauty of Zane Michaelson's works lies in his willingness to challenge the status quo. He takes on risky topics and fleshes out all the details good, bad, and indifferent. He explores the dark corners of desperation and sex trafficking in his latest release, Pimped Out: Selling My Soul Part One. The ugly truths of Tyson Reece come to light when he finds himself out of a job and starving. He turns to the most dangerous man he knows for help. A man who broke him once and won't be afraid to do it again. Michaelson weaves in a hungry young detective, a heart-stopping best friend, and a world tainted with drugs, sex, and deceit behind the high rollers of Liverpool's seedy underworld.
Michealson's Pimped Out hits the reader in the chest and leaves no room for skipping a page or closing one's eyes. This work touches on a current topic of sex trafficking that exists more than citizens choose to recognize. Modern authors, such as Grisham, hit racial discrimination in A Time to Kill with a brutal rape and murder of a young girl in the backroads of Mississippi. It opened the eyes wide of the public to the injustices still alive and well in the 21st century. Alice Sebold hit the market with Lucky, her own brutal account of being raped while attending New York University. Then she followed it up with Lovely Bones. It later went on to be made into a film. These authors also sought to open up the eyes of the public to brutal truths in modern day society. I appreciate the bold honesty with which Michaelson opens the doors to the brutality and darkness within sex trafficking and the modern world. Society cannot stop what they sweep under the carpet and authors bold enough to tackle the big issues are well worth reading.

Pimped Out will touch you on so many levels. It's hot, thrilling, touching, and so much more. Tyson is a character you will come to love and care for. You will not be able to put this down once you start it. Zane Michaelson has written a dark, emotional, takes you where you never thought you could go book. His writing is amazing and will pull you in. I recommend Pimped Out. This is a must, must, must, must read.

The story of Tyson's life tore my heart to pieces. The things he endured in order to survive touches you soul. I have never wanted to hurt someone as much as I wanted to kill Kieran. The evil that man does is so sad.
Tyson was down on his luck and had just lost his job. Things were not looking so good for him, but he had to keep going. He was hungry and had no food or money. Things were at rock bottom when he decided to contact his ex boyfriend. He could use him alittle in order to get something to eat and maybe he would give him a few bucks. What a mistake that was, Kieran, was the devil. He wanted to make Tyson pay for breaking up with him and he did. Tyson saw a chance to make a few bucks and maybe get on his feet by stealing a ring that was in kitchen, so he slide it into his pocket. This would soon learn to be the worst mistake in his life.
This book is so much more than just a book, it is life and such a must read. I am a huge fan of Zane's books but he outdid himself on this one.

Fast paced, Mr Michaelson delivers a eye popping, heart-wrenching story that is so intense, I was flying through the pages, craving to find out what happens next.
Tyson has been dealt a rough deal in life and with enemy close by, there are scenes that are seriously dark and it’ll have your emotions on high alert. The bigger picture is disturbing and danger seems to surround, Tyson. As the story intensified, I found my attachment to him, increasing tenfolds.
I’m in no doubt that this a series that I’ve want to continue with and I eagerly await the next book.

Waiting for part 2
I LOVE this guy! Zane Michaelson books are ALWAYS such fun reads. The ones I've read (to date) usually deal with the sometimes dirtier side of life. The people that are often forgotten. But that is also what makes them so juicy, you can't help but fall in love with his character's. The wait now begins...for the next!
