Darkness had surrounded Colt his whole life dragging him down into a black abyss.
He needed an angel, someone to save him from his worst enemy.
Himself.
Leda was a beautiful, but broken doll looking for her own dark angel. She longed for the darkness to envelop her.
But when the two met starting an explosive, passionate relationship, Leda found herself plunging deep into Colt’s dark abyss forgetting that when you look into the darkness you should expect to find the devil.
Descent (Inferno #1) Reviews
-
Wow this is the newest book by the amazing Ashton Blackthorne & Drew Sera, Descent.
When I picked this book up I couldn't put it down from page one I had me, this story shows the pain people go through who have endured more horrible things than most should.
As I was read I want to cry you could really feel Leda's pain with how well this book was written. This book involves heavy scenes in BDSM, sexy talk, sex, and dark themes.
Leda has just moved in with her best fiend and her boyfriend hoping having her own space will help her. Leda has been visiting BDSM clubs in the city but having listened to her friend go on about Seven for years she's finally getting to go as a guest. When Leda arrives she finds a scene she is heavily drawn to, but when her friends see who the sexy man was they tell her to stay away from him.
Colt likes no needs to inflict pain whilst playing or having sex it's what excites him the fear in a partners eyes does things to him. When he spots Leda on initiation night at Seven sat on her own he goes to her and she intrigues him.
What starts out as a quite coffee turns into more, will Colt finally find the one woman to go through his Seven circles or will Leda be like the rest.
Come on Colt and Leda's journey as they explore Colt's darker world and find out if he's the one to finally give Leda what she needs.
This is an awesome start to the new series The Inferno Series can't wait for what's to come next. -
Desiring to play with the devil...
Usually I'm afraid of heights. But, seeing where as Colton Grantham is the prize in this Descent, I'll conquer my fears. Because this man, and this story, has conquered every other part of me.
These two incredible authors, that coerced you to play in the dark with their respective award winning novels, are now coaxing you into even more sinister depths. Seven of them to be exact. Seven levels of deep darkness, delicious sin, and deviant debauchery.
But, as you've come to expect from Ashton Blackthorne and Drew Sera, these aren't all fun and wickedness. You'll cry, cheer, gasp, and hurt for the enigmatic Colt and the strong beautiful Leeds just as much as you'll squirm, bite your lip, and rub your thighs together over their incendiary sexual chemistry.
The cover warns that if you look too deeply into the darkness it will eventually bring you face to face with the devil...after reading this... I long to stare into the darkness again and again...
Colton Grantham is my kind of devil. -

The Seven Circles of Hell begins here! How do you break what is already broken? How does the deepest pain turn to pleasure. Enter Seven, a BDSM club like no other,steeped in tradition and rules so perverse that even their own are not immune to the darkness.
Leda, is so damaged from her deeply disturbing past, is looking for a man who can set her free and give her what she craves deep down to her soul. Colt, a member of Seven through his lineage has yet to find the woman who can endure his proclivities. Both are riddled with shame, guilt and hatred.
This gripping story had me holding my breath and whipping through the pages as fast as a flogger reigning down on exposed flesh. Raw, intense, disturbing at times and erotic, this first installment of the Inferno Series is only a glimpse of what is to come.
5++ Stars!!!
**This story may not be for everyone. -
I'm not very good at writing reviews. That being said, Ashton Blackthorne and Drew Sera's collaboration on "Descent" the Inferno Series is a must read for anyone who needs to be taken to the edge every now and then.
Colt, is the Master Dom of Seven, an exclusive BDSM club dating back over one hundred years. He has the reputation to break every girl that has become his Initiate before completing the seven circles.
Leda, abused from the age of nine or ten by her grandfather thinks she is already broken. So much so, she feels that when she feels pleasure, she must also feel pain. It's the only way she knows how to alleviate the guilt.
Together, Colt and Leda begin a very dark journey of trying to heal each other. I cannot wait for the rest of the books in the Inferno Series... -
Descent is written by two wonderful authors, Drew Sera and Ashton Blackthorne who take you on a journey with Colt and Leda.
Colt, the Master Dom at Seven, an exclusive BDSM club with their very own rules. Leda, a woman that is strong, beautiful and has had a very bad childhood.
This book will take you into the dark with Colt and Leda. You will feel the electricity when they meet. You will feel all the different emotions throughout the book as if you were there. The sexual energy is off the charts. It is a hot, sexy, and thrilling story.
A must read, you don’t want to miss!! I can’t wait for the next book in the series. -

Her friend is dating a Dominant and is a private club. One night Leda went with her friend on the night that the Doms pick a sub to work with. Colt seen Leda after she has been picked.
Colt was abused when he was young and this is his way of working out his dark issues. Colt is the top Dom at Club Seven and has issues trying to find the right women for him. Tell he sees Leda after his scene. Talks to Leda and sees that there is darkness in Leda.
This book is to in the POV form and is very dark story that will have u understanding each person lifestyle and what is running through their minds. Yes this book was amazing and can’t wait to read the second book of the series as it does have a cliffhanger and leaves you wondering what will happen next. Ashton Blackthorn and Drew Sera are amazing authors and will blow your minds with the intense sexual tension and the emotions on a roller coaster. -
Holy cow!!! I have literally just finished this book and I am struggling to catch my breath! I have devoured this book in an afternoon.....I could not put it down!
Descent is a collaboration between two authors, Ashton Blackthorne and Drew Sera.....and it is absolutely seamless.....a sign of a truly amazing collaboration.
I don't even know where to start with this review!.....I don't want to give anything away but this book drew me in from the first page, the characters draw you in, holding you fast...... my heart split in two for Leda and what she had experienced at the hands of her Grandfather, who sees herself as broken.......Colt......Lord, what do I say about this man?!
I cannot wait to see where this is going to go, my mind and emotions are in a complete whirl. -
This was a new approach for me…
Think that this was truly my first real BDSM book and i like it. I’m not in the BDSM world and really like how they show that BDSM is not all about “sex”.
MCs are deep, broken, troubled, Colt is a a-hole sometimes. -
Descent - 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 hot and dark
I was not expecting this kind of reading and it was all that it promised.
Read it and still need to know more... this book starts with Cole and Leda each having flash backs throughout the story about their dark up bringing.
Cole is to inherit Seven. He is the Master Dom. Generation of Dome and a very exclusive club. He likes to inflict pain.
Leda is invited by her friend Chastity and her friends boyfriend Wade. They can't even understand what she is looking for and Cole might be just the person to give it to her. After many warnings from Wade and Chastity, Leda just follows her gut and eventually becomes Cole Initiate... he has never had someone complete the Seven circles and he can't wait to get her to complete them... but what do you do when you break your own rules? Accept the consequences...
WOW this is a great book. Great writing by both Ashton Blackthorne and Drew Sera. Drew you might have gained a fan.
**Be warn that this is not for everyone** -
Holy moly this book was so intense and absolutely amazing I couldn't put it down. It was the ultimate sin of what we as a group try to image being in an D/s relationship and I loves how well this book was portrayed. It gave me chills. The fact that Leda was in so much torment and pain that she needed pain to relieve herself and Colt had to deal with the same kind but if a different way. I can't wait to see that the next book has to offer.
This was a fabulous collaboration between two amazing authors that have written such great work that I feel like it's only the beginning of something so wonderful and fantastic that it will leave us wanted more stories by you. I'm so privileged to have had the chance to read this and I say congratulations on a masterpiece. There is no way that I would give this book a 5 star review. If I could I'd give 6 or more. Excellent!
I voluntarily reviewed this book as an Advanced Reader's Copy ( ARC ). -
I love all the books by Ashton Blackthorne and Drew Sera as individual authors. To have two of my favorite authors come together and collaborate a hot, sexy, and emotional read like Descent I was thrilled to say the least.
Colt and Leda both have abusive pasts, and try to come to terms with them. Colt is the Master Dom of the exclusive BDSM club Seven, a club that has been passed down for over a hundred years. Leda is a woman that has tried to find just what she needs from other clubs and their "Service Tops" and still has not found the release she needs. .
I absolutely loved this book, and can't wait to see where Ashton and Drew take us in this journey in the Inferno series. A must read!!! -
I am an avid reader of both Ashton Blackthorne and Drew Sera separately but put them together and ... boom!!! I couldn’t put it down , I was totally hooked from the start. The way too people, both survivors of different kinds of abusive childhoods, one of whom needs to feel pain, the other needs to give it, gravitate towards each other and could make each other whole, complete one another just made so much sense to me. Colt is dark with a softer side that people don’t see but Leda brings out in him, whilst she is treated with kid gloves became of her past but she knows what she needs and that they is a Dom like colt. I am on tenterhooks waiting for book 2

two of my favorite authors in one book, can you set dream come true. OMG!! this book is dark and totally hot. if you love dark tortured alpha male you'll love Colt. his darkness gives my the chills and makes me want to be at the receiving end of his flogger. The trauma that Leda experienced and her struggle to overcome her self hate is heartbreaking. the ending is to die for and makes you want to scream in frustration for the next book. ABSOLUTELY A MUST READ!!!! -
Well I wasn't expecting that.... wasn't too sure on this collaboration but by god did i get a shock. Totally loved this first book... its very dark compared to their other books but in a fantastic way. Colt and Leda have an amazing chemistry. Leda needs Colt... he is the only one that can sort her out, well try to... issues run very deep with both of them and I am hoping that they can help each other. If you want a hot as hell book... with a dark side then this is the book u need to buy. One hell of a story. Well done Ashton and Drew. Phenomenal book.

Descent: The Inferno Series # 1 by Ashton Blackthorne and Drew Sera
Inferno is a fitting name for this hot as hell series. Granted this is the first book in this series and you most definitely descent into the darkness which left this reader needing to keep dry panties handy. This series is a collaboration of two of my favorite authors and to say that this was a superb book doesn’t seem to adequately describe how great this book.
Not only was this a hot steamy read but it was fun to read the two POV of our main characters. As we read a chapter or scene the next chapter would be the other character’s view on what happened. It was awesome to get both Leda and Colt’s perspective on what is going on.
As a reader, I really enjoy dark books so this series will be a top read for me. The debauchery Leda and Colt only added to the reading experience. These two have very dark pasts that have molded them into who they are today.
We first meet Leda. She is a young woman who has moved in with her best friend Chastity and Wade (Chastity’s boyfriend). To say Leda has a dark past would be an understatement but she is trying to function the best that she can. She is searching for that Dom that will fulfill her specific need to feel. There is a feeling you get when you read about Leda that is hard to pinpoint, maybe sadness, worry, anguish or just plain feeling sorry for her. I won’t go into detail here about what her past is you will just have to read to find out.
Met Colt Alpha male (with a capital ‘A’). He has a very dark side with just as messed up past as Leda. He is successful and extremely wealthy. Did I mention he is also a Dom? He has been unsuccessful in finding a woman who can fulfill his every desire. What can be so difficult to find this woman? No one has been able to get past his 7 circles. Not going to explain this statement you will understand once you read the book.
There are many dark secrets and desires in this book. I don’t believe we know the extent of this darkens yet and we have only scratched the surface. We learn about the exclusive Seven club that both Wade and Colt belong to along with the strict code of conduct they have. Zipping my fingers right now so I don’t give too much away.
We are left hanging but satisfied that the book ended in a good place. There is so much underlying in this book that it is impossible to discuss without giving away anything. I found myself drawn in quickly to this first installment of the series and really need to second book. Just READ IT!!!!! -
Leda nicknamed by her best friend in third grade as "Leeds" has been sheltered by her parents. She is 28 years old and moving in with her best friend Chastity and her boyfriend Wade. Chastity and Wade are in a D/S relationship and belong to a club where you must be a legacy.
Colt is a businessman who happens to be the Master Dom at "Seven" the exclusive BDSM Club that his ancestors had been Master Dom at for generations, but has not managed to bring an initiate through his seven circles. He is a sadist and has managed to break every girl who he has been with.
Both Leda and Colt are tortured souls who survived tragic childhoods, but survived. Leda doesn't believe she deserves pleasure doesn't believe she deserves anything but pain. She is fascinated with Colt after witnessing a scene that he is in at Seven when she is brought by Chastity as a guest.
After her initiate night with a Dom is less than adequate and his initiate is let go after there first scene. Leda and Colt begin to talk and get to know each other. Can they save each other? Can she survive the pain he needs to inflict? Can he provide the pain she needs to feel? This was an amazing start to this series and I can't wait to see what comes next! I love Ashton and Drew's writing separately, but together they are super hot! Read Descent, you will love it! -
If you are lover of the dark, lover of BDSM, or a lover of knowing with pain come pleasure.. Well then this is one for you to one click. The duo of Ashton and Drew is amazing. Their collaboration has brought light into the dark. I can't wait for more in this series.
Descent is about Colt and Leda. Both have a dark past that has shaped them both in needing and wanting pain and pleasure in their play. Descent is definitely a great start to see what Ashton and Drew has in store for these individuals. Leda finds comfort in being around Colt and feels the electric shock of watching and being with him. Colt trying to find the one that can help his live up to his father and grandfather standards. While others failed, he finds that Leda might be the one for him. With warnings from others, there is nothing that can stop their pull to each other.
Descent does have some triggers but is a can't put it down. Ashton and Drew know how to pull a love out of something so dark. -
Hm... mixed feelings about this book. For me it was an okay read, but I didn’t loved it…. and that's probably me and not the book because it has almost only 5 star ratings.
Leda is severely damaged and broken; she was sexually and physically abused by her grandfather since she was a little girl until she was about 18. As an adult she needs pain to feel 'free'. But she can't seem to find the right person to satisfy her extreme needs.
Colt also has an abusive and dark past. His father, grandfather and great-grandfather were Master Doms and he inherited the title and the exclusive 'club' Seven. He is a sadist who needs to cause pain... a lot of pain. None of the submissives he takes on, meet his high 'standards'... until Lena. Although her friends warn Lena to stay away from Colt, they are attracted to each other. Colt understands Lena better than anyone ever has. Turns out they are perfect for each other. That part of the story I actually liked. The story isn't finished... next book planned for Winter 2018... pfff.
This book was heavy on the BDSM; I have a feeling I'm done with the pain & chains, the abusive Dominants and the happy submissive pain sluts. Those stories just don’t do it for me like they used to. So, absolutely not a bad story, just not what I'm looking for in books anymore. {4 ieniemienie sterretjuhs} -
Colt and Leda's story really got to me. Both 'damaged goods', which they handle in different ways. Together they might help each other to heal.
It's been a while since I read a book/story that moved me. Thank you!
The underlying story where Colt tries to help Leda face her demons. It's heartbreaking.
Drew and Ashton - you are on my top list of favourite authors, after this book.
Can't wait for the next one.
