The world sundered twelve years ago, and the demons and angels war for control of Earth. A morning star gleams on the horizon, offering hope to those who would see their world survive.

Korrigan is a courtesan, but she doesn't realize the power trapped within her scarred body. Torn between the life she knows and the past she fears, she must play her part in order to please her new master while learning the world isn't as it appears.

Petre, a young and enterprising former Baron, searches for the perfect woman to break his immortal curse but finds more than he bargained for in the descendant of history's most hated demon. Unmasking the morning star, his plans change.

In the sundered world there is no judge, no jury. Chaos and war brew and whether they're prepared or not, Korrigan and Petre are at its center. Stumbling through this erotic tale, the young couple journey through love, treachery, revenge, and forgiveness. But the whispered secrets and lies stemming from Korrigan's past haunts them and leaves one question.

Can love conquer the darkness?

Rae Z. Ryans would rather poke her eye out than write a bio. All of her hobbies involve a book, paper, pens, or a wooden spoon, and it sounds more like a recipe for disaster than fun. Long ago she decided to accept her fate as the odd cat, meowing to her own tune.

Oh! Bow ties are cool.

This ex-military brat was born in Alaska. After living in various places along the Eastern Seaboard, she settled into the sweltering town of Tumbleweed, AL to raise her three children, four if you count her husband.

She also writes under H.G. Rexon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Constricted
Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2014
Verified Purchase
Constricted is the first dystopian romance I have read. It was a dark read, that touched on many subjects that tend to make any human being with a conscience uncomfortable. Unfortunately they are real issues, even if this novel is a work of fiction. The book took several pages to get going. It doesn't have a "hook" that grabs your attention right from the start. Definitely stick with it though because once it does get going, it doesn't stop!

The main characters, Korrigan and Petre were well developed and easy to relate to. The pace at which their relationship develops is very believable. Relationships that start out completely far-fetched is a huge pet peeve of mine that I usually have to endure with most romances. I have no doubt that this will be one of my favorite series and I can't wait for the next installment!

this was horrible.

It was so poorly written you had to back track to figure out which character was speaking, how they got somewhere/ where they were at all.... I gather the author had a story in mind but I guess you just had to be there b/c as a reader, I felt left out of an inside joke :/

I was so lost through this book. I didn't know who was speaking and everything felt rushed. The story needed more detail.

4.0 out of 5 stars Deep, dark tale...
Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2014

Set in a future apocalyptic world, this book explores dark themes such as sexual violence, slavery, prostitution,etc. Definitely not for the faint of heart. However, the author doesn't uses those themes gratuitously but imaginatively and inventively. Feel your emotional buttons pushing and pulling in every direction as the story progresses. I enjoyed the deep, well thought out character development.

5.0 out of 5 stars Masterful Storytelling
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2014

Rae Z Ryans has written a gripping tale. A dark post - apocalyptic tale with demons, vampires, ghosts and other supernatural beings. It was a real page turner. Not for people who can't stomach reading about rape, sexual slavery, and other unsavory topics. Rae's character development was well done. Don't want to give any spoilers away but really want to find out what happens between Korrigan and Petre and Veric in the next book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A well written, satisfying read
Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2015
This is great read on a number of levels. The story takes place in a dark, dystopian society, and the level of world building here and character creation within the context of that world is impressive. Its basis comes from a wide range of fascinating myths and legends, and the way the author expertly winds these together into a coherent whole to create something entirely unique is impressive. Rae Z Ryans offers her readers an amazing view into a complex, though devastating, new world of her own creation that resembles nothing I've read before. Beyond this is the actual story -- which in itself is a tragic tale of of suffering, inequality and abuse that mirrors our own society in its extremes. It's a story we've not experienced as readers, but one we've heard of. The story is powerful from this perspective, and all the complex characters, human, demon, vampire, are surprisingly well developed, both in terms of individual character and their fantasy elements. I find this is often lacking in fantasy/paranormal fiction today. You won't find this in Constricted. Finally, and there is a small spoiler here, though the story is ultimately tragic at its end as well, its characters and readers do get their small measure of satisfying revenge. Good page turned too!

4.0 out of 5 stars Mind Blown
Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2014
Rae Z Ryans has turned the world upside down in her thrilling novel Constricted. She knitted together the multiple storylines and plots and kept me wanting more. I loved the story of Korrigan who is the overcomer of this story as we watch (or read lol) her in her metamorphosis as she goes from victim to victor. I loved her love stories and holy cow (yes…I said that lol) can Rae Z write a hot steamy bedroom scene… let’s just say… Mind=Blown.

Now you’re probably wondering why the four stars…well there were multiple times in the story where things jumped and you had to scramble or read back to figure out if you missed something… yes I know stories jump sometimes and time elapses happen. But this kept happening with in the middle of a chapter without warning or explanation, beyond that I noticed a few grammar errors but I am not the grammar police and I can totally forgive all of that because the book was and is still amazing even with all that!

I would recommend this…and it is defiantly a series that I WILL be following!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dystopian Paranormal Romance- with light Steampunk
Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2014
"I love you; this is going to hurt." The author note serves as a disclaimer that the book deals with sexual abuse, rape and sex slaves. The author also suggests empowering victims to rise up and heal. I was a little scared to read the book after reading the author's note but I was intrigued. I thought that the story would be uncomfortable to read but it wasn't. The writing is so dreamy and sad, it immediately draws you into the story. I didn't know that this would develop into a vampire story. In fact this is also a supernatural story dealing with demons. And it is a steampunk dystopia and a paranormal romance. I was intrigued by this shift. Korrigan is badly abused and Petre buys her so that she can free him from his vampire curse. There are a lot of interesting plot twists in this book. It is really a good read. 5 stars. This book was a gift.
