I simply cannot get enough of the Consequences Live books!

Sunday Service was an amazing conclusion to the story of The Punishment Club. It was wonderful seeing Buddy, Cassidy, Emma Jo, and Peter get the justice they deserved after what they went through in The Dare Dungeon. Seeing their relationship(s) bloom and grow over the course of this book was really satisfying to read. They are probably my favorite characters in the Consequences Live series (though Madam Reyes-Garcia is up there as well.)

Maddox does a wonderful job writing all of the characters and you really care about them, well maybe not Sierra and Kevin, but you do want to see them get what they deserve!

If you are a fan of terrible characters getting their just desserts... definitely check out this book.

Beyond belief justice is served.

I was enthralled with this astoundingly inventive and captivating book, although it seemed the punishments went almost a bit far considering the 'crime'. Yes, it was against the modesty values but the humiliations were extreme in their scope, far exceeding the original deed, although they were of limited duration. On the other hand, The Punishment Club are changed as they emerged from their Controlled Judicial Humiliations, they have grown and are not the same naïve transitionals they were prior. So, as horrific and violating as the system seems to be - it works.

There are fascinating peeks into the structure of their society where education equates to privileges.

Incredible imagination to continue to dream up additional and unique humiliations for the foursome. The taking of fond memories and corrupting them, using them and the people in them to provide a shaming and humiliating experience.

As to the Dare Dungeon perpetrators - it is very satisfying to have them receive their fair share of humiliations and punishments for reparation.

Thank you to the author for gifting me this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. The storyline of this dystopian society is inventive and imaginative, to say the least. This book pretty much picks up where we left Cassidy, Peter, Emma Jo, and Buddy. I loved that the pledges got what they deserved after what they endured in the dare dungeon. Though it didn’t happen without further humiliation and violation as they were pushed past their limits. Their shared experiences brought them closer and made them grow. D.A. Maddox’s writing skills are excellent. The storyline was written very vividly and unique. To reiterate what I said about book 3 (the first part of the pledges stories) this was not my cup of tea. Many reviewers enjoyed it and saw the punishments as bdsm and enticing. I personally did not feel the same and was turned off rather than enticed. However, the author wrote the story in such a way that I was attached to the characters. They had depth to them. I cared about them and longed to see them get free. So even not caring for the story, you can’t deny it’s magnificently written when it draws intense emotions out of you. Lexi Evans is one of my favorite narrators, and she was cast perfectly for this role. Her timing, pacing, pitch, and tone was spot on. She transitioned between each character (and POV) expertly. You could easily follow along with who’s POV she was portraying because she brilliantly made each character distinguishable. She definitely brought the book to life.

This is the second part of the story that started with The Punishment Club: The Dare Dungeon and it does not disappoint. D.A. Maddox has an amazing (and kinky) imagination. One quibble: Occasionally the author takes advantage of the futuristic dystopian setting to have advanced animatronics doing things that only humans should do, IMHO. When humans do it to other humans, it is sexy. When robots do it to humans, it is disturbing. But that quibble is not enough to stop me from reading everything D.A. Maddox has written so far and waiting for the next one.

This book has so much sex you won’t be disappointed. I thought there might be a bit of a shake up but it seems to be pretty much the same as book 1. A great performance.
