A modern dark romantic thriller with ancient magic: a student with the right face may save the world—if the White Witches don't seduce him first.
"There is a woman."
"She is very attractive."
"Because everybody wants to have sex with her."
"The crops are rotting."
— From Chapter 1
A PhD student. Apolitical. A virgin. All three are about to break.
His decree will transform the world. He alone can do it. He has every reason to sign. And every reason not to.
He has just 21 days. On his dangerous and steamy ride: an ancient battle between Black and White Witches with weapons made of desire. The carnal secrets of The Book of Exodus that Moses himself did not anticipate. Mathematical and economic riddles with real consequences. And hot and heavy action—bold, vivid, burning, passionate, and physical.
Thriller, mathematics, philosophy, dark romance, witchcraft, Bible, Kabbalah, Greek myths—a genre of its own.
Sex Tax delivers more heat and more intelligence than the title suggests.
A note from the author: I feel like Geppetto making Pinocchio. I took a piece of wood and tried to build a doll. But suddenly the doll changed shape, grew a long nose, and befriended a beautiful girl. The story became not Geppetto’s, but Pinocchio’s — and Pinocchio insisted on witches, fire, and skin. The raw passion in this book isn't a hook. It's the engine the plot runs on.
Also, dear reader: please be aware that this book explores themes of bodily autonomy, sexual coercion, and the ethics of consent under power imbalance. There are sexual assaults depicted, but each is framed within the book's central question about who owns whose body and at what cost.

Political content (libertarian / anti-statist) Religious commentary (Jewish, Christian, ancient pagan) Witchcraft, blood magic, and occult ritual Sexual coercion by federal agents and state operatives Kidnapping and forced transport across borders Ritual nudity and group ritual Violence Extraction and redistribution of sexual energy by force

I read this book even during the night. I couldn't put it aside. It is not just thriller. It is much much more: philosophical esse, art history, adventure, etc. It is unic book: unusual story lines, composition with unexpected turns, very dynamic. I highly recommend people to read this book. It is a great pleasure. )

I went in skeptical. A book called Sex Tax? It sounded like a joke premise. It isn't. It's the best book I've read in years. Yes, it's a hot book. Bold, vivid, physical writing — exactly as the description warns. But every steamy scene advances the plot or reveals a character. No padding. If passionate writing offends you, this isn't your book, and that's fine. Everyone else: it's in service of the story, not decoration. What surprised me most was the depth of thought. The burning-bush passage...
