Love is Power or Something Like That
Dark yet disarming, Love is Power, Or Something Like That is a phenomenal short story collection. Where sex is a currency, or a weapon. Where power ends in corruption, or violence. Where the worst thing to happen is for the best, sometimes. Where love is power, or something like that.
