This is one intense, twisted, dark, addictive, insane, jaw-dropping novel! Not only is this a very well-written book with wonderfully-interesting characters, but the suspense builds at just the right pace as the story unfolds. Compulsive, gripping and horrifying! Will have you on the edge of your seat and gasping with shock at the depths of self-gratification and human depravity on unapologetic display!
Amazing. Great action scenes. Great love scenes. Multiple trigger situations, but so well put together. Scary, sad, funny, warming, heartbreaking, and powerful. “This is your fault, you kidnapped the wrong woman.” I love this. Through all the terrible things the characters stay true to themselves. Traumatic situations, different responses to it all. True to how people respond differently. Reminiscent of the tv show Spartacus, but with amazing women instead of all the focus on men. Interesting, original, well written, and powerful. I can’t wait to read more of S.E. Greens work.
one day she is normal and taking her sister, next she is a slave. She will be forced to learn to kill for the pleasure of others or her sister will suffer. Can she do it? Will she save her sister? Will she become the monster they want her to be? See what will happen
Vanquished by S. E. Green is an awesome story to read. This is story kept me on the edge of my seat from the start of the story till the end of the story. I did not know what was going to come next and I loved reading it. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about thrillers and suspense in their stories as much as I do.

It took a bit to get into the story but after that, it was really easy to keep reading.
The fighting scenes were quite a lot too.
The characters were likable and the end well-done.

This is an interesting plot that the author has come up. There is a lot of action, drama, trust issues and anger to name just a few of what this story holds in store for the reader. There are 2 defined classes of people, the rich who have everything and all the control and the abducted people who are made into slaves and have no rights at all. The main female is a fierce force that will stop at nothing to protect her sister. She just has to work around the lies she is told and the fears she has. This really is an intriguing story and one I didn’t want to put down for even a few minutes to get a cuppa. It has a lot of dark themes and so there are possible triggers for some readers.

I have read the books prior to this that was included in the box set so I was not surprised that this book caught me from the first page and would not let go until the end. Simply unputdownable (is that a word?). An absolutely fantastic writer. Get this book in the boxset because they are all so good.
