But he always feels bad and apologizes to her. Except when he wants to make a point and then he gets mad and treats her like a slave, if that makes sense. She keeps running into Alexander and he keeps treating her like she isn’t a slave. He is so casual about talking about killing slaves with his brother Oliver, it made me sick.Īria is bought by Lord Alexander and brought to his manor along with another slave called Harriet. The slaves that go work at his manor are never released and never seen alive again. He quickly built a reputation for being a cruel slave owner. Alexander is from England and has settled in Georgia with his sister and brothers to make a new life for himself. 8 months later, Aria is being brought to auction to be sold because she was very disrespectful to her master.Īria is dragging into town on a rope by her master and she catches the eye of Lord Alexander Anderson. They sold her to a family friend with the stipulation that she would be treated well and off they went with their lives. Aria’s parents sold her into slavery because they all were starving and they needed the money. This book takes place in America (around Marietta, Georgia if I am not mistaken)….pre-Civil War. So, needless to say, I went into this book with high expectations and oh boy, did they get smashed. So when I was asked to review More Than A Slave, I didn’t hesitate because of my history of getting good books from them. I have reviewed many good books for them. Inkitt has been good to me over the last few months.
