Sadly this book just was not for me. This sat on my kindle for quite some time - twice I have attempted to read and twice I did not finish.

Thankyou for the opportunity but I will not be providing feedback on any commercial sites for this book.

I received a digital copy of Domin8 from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
This book disappointed me for several reasons:
The author is Stephen B. King. Ok, my bad. I assumed THE Stephen King had a book on Net Galley for review. The book starts out well. Builds tension, reasonable writing. Then it becomes repetitive. It devolves into soft porn. It gives more detail than I could ever want about how married people can use a web matching service to cheat on their spouses with other consenting adults who enjoy S&M. No, the web site was not named. There was foreshadowing that was far too direct.
Of course people that the narrator had hooked up with began dropping like flies. After this happened several times (I lost count) the narrator became a police suspect.
I lost interest in plodding through the book, so I skipped to the last couple of chapters to see how it ended. The villains had plausible motives, but I did not remember reading about them AT ALL earlier in the book.
My advice to the author is not to publish under such a famous and well known name, even if you are using a middle initial. He sets (unaware) readers up for disappointment.

Title: Domin8
Author: Stephen King

When I first asked @netgalley to review this book I didnt pay close attention to the title. Domin8 is in fact exactly what you think when it comes to sexual activity.

I had mixed emotions as I started to read due to the reviews I read first. A handful said they loved it and it was well written, while others said they felt like it was just about sex & more along the lines of pornaghraphy.

The book actually grabbed my attention rather quickly. Yes, it is all about sex...but that is the story line and I do believe it is very well written. It kept me on my toes and thinking throughout. I wasnt 100% who the killer was until the end and it all made sense then.

I would read to the very end before you rate this book! I also liked the authors notes at the end to learn more about how it became published. This was my first stephen king, I will definitely look into more of his work

Wow! What a great book! I've never read anything like this and
I enjoyed it very much! I am now interested in reading more of
Stephen B. King's books. I loved the twists and turns until the very
end.


Thank you so much, Stephen B. King, the publisher, and NetGalley for the chance to read
and review this wonderful book!

After his wife loses interest in him, fifty-year-old Dave Barndon turns to the dark side of the Internet and sex chat rooms. There he finds willing partners who are happy to fulfill his needs with no strings attached. But they aren't the only ones looking to play. And this is how one finds oneself accused of murder. The book got off to a bit of a slow start but this author more than made up for it with a very twisty turny thrill ride until the end. Cleverly plotted and extremely well written I had a hard time putting it down after the uneven start. One of the better books I have read in a while. Thank you NetGalley for the advanced readers copy for review.

Take sex, crime and guilt, mix it up and you get a suspenseful read.

Can you be guilty of murder when you don't actually commit a crime?

Domin8 is about a married guy, Dave in need, who had several affairs behind her wife’s back. He claims he loves his wife, but the passion is missing from their relationship. He goes after women for sex and this is what gots him in trouble. He became the main suspect of murder as someone killed one of his flings. A psychopath who is after him and not scared to even kill.

An exiting book with crime, lust, love and fear. I liked reading it, quiet easy to finish fast as there always happens something. Must have read for people who loves crime, murder, mystery and detective novels.

Very very interesting book, with lots of twists and turns. There was a lot of, Umm interesting, pieces throughout the book, but once the book got going, I thought it was a really entertaining. There was some outlandish moments, but overall I really enjoyed it. I thought the main character Dave had his ups and downs, but he played well off the other characters.

Thank you to Netgalley and Stephen B. King for providing me with an advanced reading copy.

This is a solid thriller with good twists, In addition to having a good name to help get people's attention, the author writes well. This is a page turner with a good amount of suspense. There are a number of helpful reviews already, so I'll just recommend this to thriller fans.

I really appreciate the review copy!!
