"This is a thorough and readable overview of the history of efforts to repress sexuality and sexual expression. When you consider the current climate, with LGBTQ+ people being called "groomers" and blatant book bans by right-wingers, the timing for its publication couldn't be more perfect."

"This is a really great book for those seeking an introduction to SM. That’s not to say that a more experienced practitioner will not glean some useful information from this book, but the book is most definitely written with newcomers in mind. In particular, the book’s frequent stabs at humor feel like they are meant to put a possibly nervous person curious about SM at ease, while their effect on non-newbies would probably not be as effective. Some people seem upset about the fact that the book only addresses SM from the viewpoint of a heterosexual dominant male submissive female relationship, but, as the authors themselves mention, the text is applicable to all relationship types. There are a few grammatical errors, and while they don’t render the text unreadable, there are enough of them to make one wish that it had been properly edited."

"The Happy Satanist is one of the best books I have read this year. The story of Lilith Star is heartfelt, and it takes you on her personal journey to battle addiction and overcome to become a better person. Her story shows that with the power of will, and the direction of Satanism, a better life can be found.

I think this book should be highly recommended for women in Satanism to read. Lilith's story is uplifting and shows you the potential of the human spirit. You can read my full review of The Happy Satanist at my Left Hand Path Books Blog."
