Book Review: My Slave, My Property by Kiss Leilani

⭐️ 3/5
🌶️ 4/5

If you were the type of reader who grew up intrigued by dark historical fiction or graphic war stories, My Slave, My Property might pique your interest. This isn’t your typical romance—it’s brutal, emotional, and at times, deeply unsettling. But for those who can stomach the heavy themes, it’s a story that will linger long after the last page.

This enemies-to-lovers tale throws you into a world of violence, war, and broken systems. What sets it apart is its boldness—Kiss Leilani doesn’t hold back when it comes to showing the true cost of conflict, especially through the lens of sexual violence. The trauma experienced by characters is visceral and real, leaving both physical and mental scars that the book doesn’t shy away from addressing.

Despite the darkness, there’s an engaging thread of romance that weaves its way through the story, blossoming between two unlikely allies. Each is determined to fulfill their birthright, and their connection provides moments of softness amid the chaos. Side characters are also given space to shine, which adds depth and richness to the overall worldbuilding.

That said, the book isn’t without flaws. The grammar can be inconsistent, and a second round of editing would really benefit the flow of the writing. At times, the graphic depictions may be too much—even for seasoned dark romance readers—so proceed with caution.

Vibe Check:
Dark, gritty, emotional. Think: war-torn settings, unlikely lovers, and moral gray areas. If you can handle graphic themes and love character-driven stories with high stakes, you’ll likely be hooked.

Would We Recommend It?
Yes—but only to readers who are prepared for the heavy content and can appreciate the intense emotional journey this book delivers.
