The Auction is the first novella in: Submissive Fairy Tales by Kitty Thomas.

The Auction is a 20,000 word novella. (1-2 hours of reading time, or approximately 80 pages.)

DESCRIPTION:

Belle Walker lives in a strict society where women are treated as property, sold to the highest bidder soon after their eighteenth birthday. But the auction isn’t the only danger. Though she’s never seen them, she knows monsters live outside the city. These creatures have allowed the humans a small area to inhabit with the promise to leave them in peace as long as they never cross the boundary. On the day Belle is sold, one of the monsters breaks that promise and enters the city, intent on having her as his own.

Disappointing and over priced

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 August 2011

Verified Purchase

This was the first Kitty Thomas book I have bought and I have to say I was very disappointed with it. It takes less than 1 hour to read and at £2.14 not worth that 1 hour. Story weak at best and a bit naive when it comes to sexual side of things. Very bland and unerotic. It strikes me as a story some wrote at an evening class! I won't be reading any more of this 'authors' offerings.

Unappealing Depiction of Sexual Slavery

Reviewed in the United States on 8 April 2019

Verified Purchase

The description of this novella pretty much says it all. It didn't appeal to me. All the human females are just property/sex slaves of the human and alien men. The aliens are into passing around their mates to family members regardless of what the woman wants including using threats to get the woman to comply. Annabelle's mate is into BDSM of all things where she is severely punished when she disobeys her Master. She has no options in her life and nowhere to go to escape. She turns into a submissive sex toy who's only thought is to serve her Master. The idea of any kind of romance escapes me with the power the men have over the women. Refund!

Dark, Complete Submission, Fantasy

Reviewed in the United States on 16 October 2012

Verified Purchase

I just finished reading this book. For those of us who like to read about complete unadulterated submission, this will absolutely tickle your southward fancy. Personally, I need a story to show a tiny bit of submission or maybe compromise on the part of the Dominant male showing a love or gratitude for the submission on the part of the sub female. Golly I never knew I thought that much about it. Somebody get me a therapist while I on a roll. Anyway I would like a bit more affection in a story to really get my socks flapping up-and-down. I'm glad I read it though and I recommend it to those of us who like monster erotic reads and sub/dom/punish/pain/maso/menage. Ehem!...I gave it 5 stars because the book delivers well. It's not the book it's just me.

Super fun but could have been so much more.

Reviewed in the United States on 29 December 2012

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed the book and honestly couldn't complain. For about $3 I entertained myself one "I can't seem to fall asleep" nights and I enjoyed it well enough. My only complaint is why is this so short? Sure the story line was pretty standard but the uniqueness in the world was breathtaking and could have been so much more. I found myself so interested in learning more about theirs lives, their customs, and the world around them but I got so very little of that. I'm normally all for shorter books. I'm happier with a story that's to the point and not just out stretched to be outstretched but this book wasn't even a tiniest bit stretched out.

All in all good read and not a waste of money if you're looking to fill a lazy afternoon. Though be expected to afterwards wish you had so much more than what you've been given.

Alien sex for the win!

Reviewed in the United States on 30 December 2013

Verified Purchase

Definitely erotic and very imaginative, The Auction is a short novella and really only whets the appetite for a more extensive read. I would have liked to explore the deepening emotional ties between the main characters, as well as the world, society, and culture that they live in. Alas, the story was over before it really began. I did enjoy it, however. Thomas is a competent writer and I look forward to reading more of her novels.

Master slave the struggle to accept that you love it when all you been taught tells you its dirty shameful.

I especially like how it showed the learning curve the process both Master and slave go thru melding together and finding WHT each of you needs from the other the process of understanding and the pleasure found in surrender .

Good story line, but not well written

Reviewed in the United States on 9 August 2011

Verified Purchase

I read quite a bit of erotica and try to select the books for not only hot sex, but for a well written story. The premise for this book (novella really) intrigued me. I had a tough time getting through the elementary writing. Other than that, the story idea was great. It was an okay short read. Perhaps had the book been fleshed out more it would not have had such a choppy form.

Good Read Too Short

Reviewed in the United States on 13 July 2017

Verified Purchase

The author has a good way of keeping you interested. The build up is strong. The material / sexual content is strong and graphic, which I love. But the ending is quick and falls flat. Would love to see this as a full feature book. Tell us what happens next to Belle and Lily.

In this case less is definitely not more

Reviewed in the United States on 21 August 2011

Verified Purchase

This was definitely on the short side. I'm not sure it even qualifies as a novella. The premise was decent, but I really felt like the story could have been expanded more, much more. The story felt rushed, the character development was not detailed enough to really care about any of them and while there was a promising dynamic between the brothers and Belle it never went deeper than a surface scratch.

Five easy stars!

Reviewed in the United States on 14 September 2015

I love Kitty Thomas. She's about as taboo as they come. This one broke the bounds of most of her work and worked on a scifi/paranormal level but it WORKS. Hot, taboo, dark...everything that makes her books great. 5 easy stars!

Interesting premise and for a short novella story, I thought it was excellent. Futuristic setting and yet has a historical feel to it as well. Very sexy and erotic too. 5 stars. I will read more from Ms. Thomas.

what happened

Reviewed in the United States on 24 October 2011

This book started out really well and just fizzled out. Spoiler - how can the authror just end it with "let's just be". There really wasn't any conclusion and I was left hanging and thinking to my self that's it. I would definitely not recommend this book.
