Incel

by Phil M. Williams

Five twentysomethings draw the ire of a paranoid psychopath, while searching for love in the digital age.Dylan has the three sixes. Six feet tall, six-figure income, and six-pack abs. Technically, he only has two of the sixes. The phony story about his lucrative Wall Street career completes the package, allowing him to get any woman he wants. To Dylan, women are disposable, used for sex, and discarded.Aaron, a wannabe author but currently a waiter, just wants a girlfriend. He wants to fall in love and to get married someday. He doesn’t want to play games—like his best friend and genetic lottery winner, Jack—which is why Aaron’s clearly losing in the dating game. Without a single six, Aaron finds nothing but rejection online, until Eve. A chance encounter with the stunning Eve showcases Aaron’s altruism, and it might change everything.Eve can get any man she wants on the Sugar Babies dating app. To Eve, men are disposable, used for money, and discarded when they want too much in return. Until she meets Aaron. The waiter with average looks teaches Eve that beauty isn’t skin-deep. Her newfound values are tested when she meets Jack, but the heart wants what the heart wants.Lizzie, Eve’s best friend, wants a high-value man, with all the sixes, but these men are unavailable and borderline psychopathic. Lizzie’s mother advises her daughter to date a short man. “Nobody wants a short man. You’ll have the pick of the litter.” But Lizzie’s drawn to six-foot-tall bad boys, who only want one thing.Stan has never had a girlfriend. Never even been kissed. He’s the IT guy at North Cedar Elementary School. When he’s not patrolling the internet, he obsesses over the beautiful fifth-grade teacher, Beth Price. But, when he finally gathers the courage to ask her out, he’s humiliated. His humiliation validates his suspicions—women don’t really want the nice guy. Stan’s done being the nice guy. He’s done being everyone’s punching bag. It's time for revenge. It’s time to take what he wants.Author’s This book contains graphic scenes of violence and sexual deviance. It is not for the faint of heart.

Exciting story!

I love the characters in this story. This author really writes characters fully. I was never sure who was going to make it in this story and who wasn’t. I’m so glad I found this author and I’m going to read more of his stories.

Be careful what you look for (and where you look!).

Audiobook: My attention was captured from the opening paragraphs until the end of the story. I liked that this author shined a spotlight on issues which occur in today's society, and he presented the subject matter in such a way that it engendered serious considerations about them. Although the story grabbed my attention, there were some scenes that were hard to listen to because of the grittiness of the subject matter. I thought Tristan Wright's and Mia Valyn's dual narrations were great, and their performances enhanced the story's entertainment. I was given a free copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.

My biggest take-away from this book is, I'm glad I'm not a younger person trying to find my way dating in the modern world. I've said it many times before but I'll say it again, Phil M Williams creates characters that really get under my skin and this book has so many that i totally hated. He has the talent to create such characters whilst wrapping a story around them and showing us a clear and obvious line to the nicer folks. Interesting story, if not my favourite from Mr Williams, that will grip many a reader. There are some really dark moments that I'd guess some readers won't like so be warned.

A gripping read (as always from Phil M. Williams) from start to finish. The characters were well thought out and scarily accurate.... The ending was a bit too cheesy for me but that's just personal preference. Highly recommend this author, and looking forward to reading more from him in the future.

I had no idea what I was getting into with this book. It's like an episode of Law & Order SVU, but with a tangled web of relationships. It was interesting. Would have been 4 stars, but the ending was too over the top for me. Will definitely read more from this author.

Dating, Or Not

Incel is a story of relationships, a few normal, more that are dating opportunistic, and a deviant case study in rejection and revenge. It can be called ‘involuntary celibacy’.

Not to be approached lightly, nevertheless it’s a story that must be told, instead of hidden to fester.
