Everyone In This Book Was An Idiot

Salem's Lot by Stephen King

by 2 Comments

In October, I realized that despite having read a lot of Stephen King, I had never read his first couple of works, so I listened to the audiobooks of Carrie and Salem’s Lot. Oh, Stephen King, even in only your second book you were overly verbose and needed editing. King stated in The Forward that a lot of this book was inspired by what would happen to Dracula if he appeared suddenly in the modern world. He had taught Dracula in a couple of semesters […]

Fairy Tales Can Be Deadly

The Last Tale of The Flower Bride by Roshani Chokshi

by 1 Comment

This book is the very definition of the word Gothic. It belongs on the shelves next to Jane Eyre and Rebecca.  As in Rebecca, the main character in the novel isn’t given a name. He is just referred to as The Bridegroom. The Bridegroom is a curator of myths, legends, and fairy tales. While tracking down a rare book, he encounters Indigo Maxwell-Castenada, an heiress to a massive fortune, and a woman obsessed with fairy tales. They get married rather quickly, and she makes him […]

Double Pucked by Lauren Blakely

Priest by Sierra Simone

These books were either too short to justify a full review, or there was just smut and no plot. In some cases, both! Mr. Taboo Daddy by Aria R. Blue Look, sometimes I just read a book because it has a stupid title. I also needed some smut after reading some YA romances. Sometimes you want to read about people just fucking for 90 pages, OK! Anyway, this book was about Layla, who at 18 tries to seduce her next-door neighbor. He also happens to […]

Demonic Prince by Karen Kincy

I have read a LOT of supernatural smutty novels in the last few months that I haven’t gotten around to reviewing, so here’s a roundup. Yearning for Her by Tiffany Roberts Willow learns her boyfriend has been cheating on her when he tells her that he wants to have a poly relationship, and he already is! This hit a little too close to home because that actually happened to me in real life. She tells her shitty boyfriend to fuck off and has a one-night […]

A Couple of Witchy Rom-coms

Witchful Thinking by Celestine Martin

The Witch is Back by Sophie H. Morgan

by Leave a Comment

I love supernatural rom-coms, especially ones about witches. Here are two I read in October. Both with punny titles. Witchful Thinking by Celestine Martin Lucy Carraway is a witch about to go to her ten-year High School reunion. She wishes she could brag about all of her accomplishments, but she feels like she has been stuck in a rut after never leaving her small town. One night, she and her sisters, who are also her coven, use their grandmother’s Wish Spell and Lucy finds that […]

11 Hours by Octavia Jensen

11 Scenes by Octavia Jensen

11 Dates by Octavia Jensen

Whiskey & Sin by Emily Rath

Never Been Kissed by Timothy Janovsky

Beautiful Sinner by Sara Cate

by Leave a Comment

I’ve read a bunch of books since May that were more smut than plot, so here’s a series of mini-reviews in the order I read them: 11 Hours by Octavia Jensen Briella is a paralegal in a fancy-schmancy law firm. She has an absolute hate/hate relationship with Harrison, one of the firm’s attorneys. One day, while everyone else is at the holiday party, they are working late and get stuck in an elevator together. For ELEVEN HOURS. Which is cuckoo-bananas. What kind of building doesn’t […]
