Book: The Auction by Sadie Kincaid
Reviewed by Michelles_Cosy_Booknook
Sold to the highest bidder… but some purchases come with consequences.
Imogen DeMotta has spent her life preparing for one inevitable fate—auctioned off as a “lot” to the highest bidder. Raised without love and shaped by cruelty after her parents were murdered by The Brotherhood, survival is the only thing she’s ever known.
Lincoln Knight is power, mystery, and danger wrapped in a billionaire’s suit. A notorious recluse within The Brotherhood, is about to spend $10 million on Lot 51… Imogen DeMotta. The traitor’s daughter.
And from that moment? You’re hooked.
The Auction is dark, addictive, and impossible to put down. The tension between Imogen and Linc is a slow, burning inferno—equal parts dangerous and magnetic. The chemistry? Off the charts. The spice? Let’s just say… you might need a glass of milk 🥵
Beneath the heat, there’s a story layered with secrets, power plays, and emotional scars. Linc gave me strong Batman/Bruce Wayne energy—with his isolated, shadowy world—while their dynamic leans into a delicious Beauty and the Beast vibe. He sees himself as something broken and monstrous… and Imogen? She might be the one person who refuses to look
away.
Sadie Kincaid also weaves in subtle nods to characters from her other books, which longtime readers will absolutely love.
Just one warning—this is not a neat and tidy ending. This is book one, and that cliffhanger? Brutal. I’m already counting down to The Game (November 2026), because I need answers immediately.
Dark. Twisted. Tension-filled. Completely addictive.
I had the best time with this one.
Thank you to NetGalley, HarperCollins, and Sadie Kincaid for the ARC. All opinions are my own
