Two thousand years ago, a great evil was banished from the human realm. Vamar Thilduri would never again be able to possess such great and unearthly power.Or so it was thought…After years of preparation, Vamar has returned and his plans are progressing as expected. His tool of choice? A girl who will be the most powerful being in the world.Sabrina Mansfield has no idea who or what she is. She … no idea who or what she is. She only knows her life-long dream is to become a professional ballerina. Attending a summer dance camp in Boston is the first of many steps along that path. But everything changes the moment she meets the gaze of a handsome soldier across the stage.
Christopher “Chase” Ralston, a recent graduate of West Point Military Academy, expected to spend his short summer leave visiting with family and friends. Love is the last thing on his mind, but a glimpse of a young woman has him questioning his desire to remain single.
The bond between them is unexpected, and becoming more seems inevitable—until Sabrina returns home to find her world torn apart.
Monsters are real.
Nightmares come true.
And love is nothing more than a dream.
***Expect the unexpected. As soon as you think you know, you have no idea. Triggers are possible. Evil is among us, and there’s no telling how far it will take you to get what it wants.***

This is the first part in a new book series for Marissa and what a start.
I am not going to say much really because I do not want to spoil it for others.
I was so excited to get my hands on this book after reading the “Life of Anna” which was a great series too.
I have been so intrigued to see what Marissa would come up. If this book has anything to go by, I am going love this series too.
It is dark and twisted not too much in this one but I have a feeling it is going to get darker as we go further into the series.
Some characters are very likeable and some I think I am going to hate,
I like Sabrina she feels she is compelled to be a ballerina and she cannot explain why… the last thing she expected was to fall in love…
Awe Chase, I really like him he follows his father’s footsteps and joins elite Green Berets. Love is the last thing on his mind until he meets Sabrina.
Then you have Vamar who wants revenge against the father of the Immortals. Nothing and no one will stand in his way when he wants something he is going to have it and he wants Sabrina.
Looking forward to the next in the series, this one left me wanting more.
This was like an evil taste of what is to come – just a quick dip into the dark pools that will control the ebb and flow of Sabrina’s life –
I felt like this was more of an outline of the series – like an introduction to the characters and the changes within the series – A way to get us prepared for the evil that is about to be unleashed –
Definitely left me with more questions than answers -eagerly awaiting the next book –
So like Honeycutt to prolong the pain only to increase the pleasure
This is a continuation or extension of the series The Life of Anna – To truly grasp and understand Master of My Body it is my opinion that you should read the previous series first – It will truly make a difference
Also – Please take the warnings regarding the content of this book seriously – There is nothing romantic about the story – it is twisted and it’s content borders the taboo and it is very very dark
This is a short novella type book that is a prelude to the series to follow. It gives an insight in to the background history of Vamar, an immortal that was banished 2000 years ago and Sabrina’s life from the age of 16 through to 21.
If you have read Life Of Anna; then you will already know Marissa’s style and content of writing. All I will say, is if you thought Anna was intense hold on to your seat because the crazy train is in motion once more. Only this time Marissa has taken it to a whole new level of batshit crazy. That woman’s imagination has no limits, no boundaries and definitely no filter. This book has everything thrown at it; erotica; horror; fantasy; paranormal. I truly think Marissa could give Stephen King a run for his money. There was once incident when I actually felt the characters pain.
Told from a third person POV (only this prelude I believe); the book spans the last 10 years highlighting key incidents that set Vamar’s revenge plan in motion. If you like off the scale dark, erotic horror then you have found the perfect author to deliver. If you like hearts and flowers then walk on by; this book is not for the faint hearted or squeamish.
This is definitely a dark read. If you have triggers or don’t do well with what are considered extremely dark reads, this book isn’t for you. However, if you love those types, this book is amazing.
I’m always a fan when I put down a book and I question what I just read. If it’s disturbing and odd, I celebrate it. Marissa Honeycutt did not disappoint me! The entire premise of the book is original which I appreciated.
I’m usually not much of a fan of short reads especially dark ones since I like to see significant character development and world building. For it being a quick read however the author does pack a great deal into it. The actual storyline though just blew me away. It kept me thoroughly engrossed despite all the cringe-worthy scenes (ok, maybe because of those) and even the fast pace could not dissuade me even though I typically prefer a slow build.
5 Stars for a dark and crazy ride! Highly recommend to those who can handle the dark.
WOW!!! What a start to a new series from the author who brought us the Life of Anna Series.
Right from the first chapter, we get a taste of how dark this series will be. Vamar Thilduri is not one to be messed with. He’s dark, he’s dirty, he’s going to accomplish what no other has!
Sabrina Mansfield is 16 when she is at an intensive dance retreat. Her first time being away from home. She dances beautifully. She is noticed. She is asked to move there to dance but decides to go home and grow up some more. The one thing that happens while she is at the retreat, she meets Christopher (Chase).
Christopher “Chase” Ralston just graduated from West Point. A newly appointed lieutenant in the army. Home to spend time with his mother before being sent away he meets a beautiful, young dancer that he can not forget.
Asking her to ‘wait’ for him to return, they make promises to each other. One thing Chase never expected though… To never hear from her again.
As this is the first book in this new series. The pieces are all introduced. The first move has been made and now we bite our nails to wait for book 2 to arrive. As with the LOA series, this book is dark. Do Not attempt to read this series if you can not handle the darkness. There is more paranormal themes in this book which took me a bit to understand or at least try to understand. This is a quick read that before I knew it, it was over and I needed more!!!

Well what an opener to a new series. I’m already excited to read more. It was intense with a mixture of fantasy and very dark twisted stuff that just blew my mind and this was just the prequel. Yep, I’m totally hooked already!
Here we go! The beginning of Sabrina’s story was definitely dark and depraved. Meeting all the new players in the game of Immortals and Elders. We get a little Cameo of Alex from The Life of Anna and talks about Anna. This series is going to be just as dark as Anna if not more. I’m already at the edge of my seat with quite a few dark cringe worthy scenes I’ve come to know with Marissa Honeycutt books. It was short but definitely packed a punch.
Master of My Body is a short introduction into Sabrina’s world. Not sure I could say it’s a prequel but it certainly is novella length. Sort of a little taste to see if we’d be interested enough for the author to continue with the story. I am glad she did.
YIKES!!! Talk about dark. This story was twisted and also has a supernatural touch to it. I haven’t completed reading Anna’s story yet but you don’t have to, to follow Sabrina’s story, it just heightens the experience, so I am told, if you read Anna first.
From the very start, the story grabs you in with it’s um devilish tentacle (I want to use another word but I also don’t want my review to be rejected LOL). The big guy is in need of a body and the way he goes about that transfer is just like WHOA!!!
This is the beginning of the Finding Sabrina series. It’s dark, depraved, and it gave us a new story that made me sit up and take notice! Non-con/dub-con, erotically charged, and intriguing! I am excited to read book 2!
Well Marissa has done it again another book that I completely lost myself in and was very sad when it ended because I wasn’t ready to stop reading yet. This book is a great intro for Sabrina’s story and the characters in it and you will be left wanting more. If your a fan of Marissa’s books or a fan a dark reads then this is a book you are going to want to read
Master of my Body is the first book in a new series by Marissa Honeycutt. It takes place in the same world as Life of Anna, but you can read this book without having read that series.
This book is dark and twisted, but will leave you wanting for more. The few chapters start out pretty sweet, but then bang every changes and you now you are reading a book by Marissa Honeycutt. You will fall in love with Sabrina and Chase and you will want to strangle the bad guys.
My favorite line in the book: You will be mine to control and use, and the journey to that point will be long and painful. For you. Pleasurable for me.
I look forward to reading the second book.
Kudos Ms Honeycutt, you did again, you kept me up all night!
I had to get up in the middle of the night, because I did not put my reaction to this book down on paper/computer before I went to bed.
As you would expect from Ms Honeycutt, this is a tale of murder, torture for pleasure, atrocities, slavery, and non-con sex.
But the most disdurbing part is the fact that all those things are just a means to an end for a powerhungry beeing to totally overwhelm the will of a not quite human, to use her to dominate his world.
While he succeeds up to a certain point, his victim retains some of her own will, her memories, and he is struggling to contain the potential threat to his plans.
In contrast to this dark and twisted world there is an unfulfilled love story, a hope that gives the heroine the strenght to hold on to at least part of her free will.
As one expects from Ms Honeycutt (even her name is a dichotomy!), this is a story that you will love to hate, or vice-versa.
A gripping parallel to The Life of Anna, it delves into some of the same chilling, depraved concepts.
But, be warned, this first book of Finding Sabrina is just to introduce the main protagonists of this tale. The story is bound to get even more harrowing with the next installments.
So now it is 5 am and I will not get any more sleep.
Kudos, Ms Honeycutt, you did it again, you kept me up all night with your dark and twisted story.
“Now, let us begin.”
Sabrina Mansfield is an up and coming feature ballet dancer. She catches the eye of newly decorated soldier and West Point graduate Christopher “Chase” Ralston, and when they share their first kiss, something golden inside of Sabrina awakens.
Vamar has been banished for over 2,000 years by the father of the Immortals, Kronos. Vamar and his followers are set on a path to once again be a ruling class over the humans, and Vamar has his evil eyes on Sabrina. Her hidden power can help him accomplish his plans…that is, if he can break her and bend her will to answer only to him. But Sabrina still remembers that first kiss from her soldier boy, and the light that was awakened within. Who will be the Master of her body…
“Master of my Body” is told in the same world created by Marissa Honeycutt in the series “The Life of Anna”. These stories are not for the faint of heart…or the easily offended…or basically anyone that does not like to read the darkest of dark erotica. That being said, if you loved “The Life of Anna” and are ready to come back to the Dark Side, then you will enjoy this newest installment.
Really enjoyed this start to a new series and look forward to reading more!
