Choke Me, Darling
About
I’m not even kidding—‘Choke Me, Darling’ is disturbing, depraved, and completely unhinged. Arius Whitlocke? He’s not your dream book boyfriend—he’s your worst nightmare wrapped in expensive suits and a cruel smirk. He’s obsessive, possessive, and doesn’t take no for an answer. Briar West? She walked straight into hell, and now she has to figure out if she wants to escape… or if she likes it there.
This book has dubious consent, brutal power plays, a secret society, and triggers on top of triggers. There’s even a Hunt, so enjoy that adrenaline rush. It’s dark. It’s twisted. It’s not safe, not sweet, and definitely not for the weak.
If you want fluffy romance and golden retrievers—look somewhere else. But if you secretly love the books that make you question your morals? Welcome to Ashtiroch Academy.
You’ve been warned. But let’s be real—you’re gonna read it anyway.
Official Blurb:
She thought she was escaping the gutter. She was wrong.
Briar West claws her way into Ashtiroch Academy, a prestigious institution where the elite indulge in depravity behind gilded walls. She soon discovers she’s a pawn in a twisted game, a sacrifice to be played with and broken. But Briar is far fiercer than they anticipate. One arrogant Duke with piercing eyes and a penchant for pain. Three other mates who won’t back down. And a secret society with centuries of disturbing traditions. Can she survive the trials? Or will she unleash her own brand of hellfire? Dive into a world of dark desires, where obedience is tested, and only the strong survive.
Prepare for a ride that’s both shocking and undeniably addictive.

Praise for this book
I took a little extra time reading Choke Me, Darling to fully digest what I was reading than I normally, and I’m so glad I did. Briar is a fiery FMC that got dragged unknowingly into the depths of a secret society. I loved her spirit and fight throughout this book. Arius, my man. He has a dominant personality that thrives on control until he meets Briar. The personal growth between these two is beautifully written throughout the story. Jace, Hayes, and Rhys bring a nice balance to the situation they’re all in while providing banter between themselves and the other main characters while also knowing how to handle Arius when needed. I loved this story and can’t wait to read the next book when it is released. Excellent job, Odessa!
This book had me questioning everything and nothing at the same time. At one point, I just decided I was along for the ride that Odessa had written for me, and I wasn't disappointed. The characters and setting she created made me feel so many emotions. Gritty. Happy. Sad. Mad. I wanna punch someone.
I can honestly say that the RH tropes get so... boring sometimes because it ends up being the same story... Choke Me Darling is like a breath of fresh air on this trope. This book had me on the edge of my seat needing more. It is intense and will have you feeling a whoorl wind of emotions. Choke Me Darling is spicy and will keep you wanting more. Of who? You can decide or why choose at all?
