Filthy #3

Filthy 3

Rate this book
The third installment in the Filthy serial novel.

Faye thought she could run from the past.

Again.

She thought she could go back to the seedy life. The one where men pay for her body and she snorts cheap coke off the back of her dirty hand.
But the past has found her.

Again.

The past with green eyes full of hate and lust.
And this time he plans to keep her.

***Filthy is a dark erotic serial novel that will release in six monthly segments of around 50 pages each. This book is not for those who like a traditional heroine. Faye and Rhett's story is dark, complicated, and twisted with themes that are not acceptable to all readers. Read at your own risk.***

4.5 Continue the crazy Stars

She runs from the darkness into more of the same
She runs to darkness
She could never stay away


Faye returns to the truck stop and selling herself as she has to get herself more of that coke she loves to use as an escape.

I just can not get past the scene in the truck, he should get help with that.

She is again taken away from the truck stop and ends up in the monsters hands (willingly though) as he supplies her with what she thinks she needs. Until it all goes wrong and Faye just decides she can not do it anymore.

The darkness swallows her
Until theres nothing left
Until she begs for mercy
Until she's screaming, clawing to breathe
Until she's gone

We were monsters, her and I. Every time I saw her she was even more lost than the last time. She was dirtier each time.



Filthy 3, holy shit, I did not see that coming! Her story just went from bad to worse, to OMG! Her days are filled between ignorant bliss and self-loathing. Hating her past and now hating her present, she wants it all to just go away and there is only one escape left ... As sick and twisted as this is, I am completely hooked, it's painful and utterly heartbreaking to see her reduced to even lower than she was when we first met her.

** 4 "poisonous and filthy" STARS **



Conflicting emotions blossom in me because of the characters in this dark and twisted story. And I get more and more confused with myself with every new book in the series. These people are all flawed. They are all freaks. They are all disgusting in different ways. But the funny thing is, I can relate with each and every one of them.

Which is why I f*cking love Filthy and why I absolutely adore Megan D. Martin!



Faye has left Rhett's house and went back to the only place she could ever call home: the Truck Stop. She knows that's the best for everyone. For both her...and Rhett. All she has to do is let herself drift back to her old life, being a prostitute, a coke addict, a lonely and miserable young woman...and everything will go back to the way it was before. Before Rhett came and smashed everything up. Before he stirred something inside Faye and made her want him, all over again. All she ever wanted was to have something beautiful and special with Rhett, and now, she wants everything!



So she lets go. But she wonders...



She shouldn't worry though. Because Rhett is determined to pull her out of the dump she insists on sinking herself in. He goes to the Truck Stop to find Faye and take her back home, only to watch her have sex with some guy in a truck, for coke money...

And he doesn't take this situation well... Rhett is furious. Rhett is disgusted. Rhett is aroused. Rhett hates Faye but obviously he hates himself just as much, for the way his body (and perhaps, heart?) reacts to Faye.

He was a monster. A monster I knew. A monster that made me f*cking horny.


Both Rhett and Faye feel...well, something for each other, yet Rhett is too stubborn to admit it and Faye just isn't mentally stable and strong enough to push him to his limits.

When Faye is back at Rhett's house, something heart-breaking and incredibly cruel that made me want to rip Rhett's throat and gouge his eyes out happens! Seriously, what the hell is wrong with you Rhett?



After being stabbed in the heart, Faye makes the biggest mistake she could have ever done: She falls back into the webs of Taylor Hale, her step-father, her tormentor, her demon, willingly.

Taylor comes to take Faye back to the house she grew up in. To the house that the people that were supposed to love and cherish her, destroyed her instead.

I knew what he was thinking. I knew what he saw when he looked at the two of us. He saw my betrayal. He saw his property in the arms of his own son. And he hated that.

The jealousy ate at him like a disease, destroying him until he was nothing but a monster. A monster I was about to go home with.


Taylor is a complicated character. His actions make you hate him, but his words are a completely different story... Those, make you believe that his twisted love for Faye is, in fact, real.

"It didn't matter, Faye. Don't you see that? I'm not the monster that preys on little children. You were the first and only person I ever felt this way toward. It was an instant attraction. It wasn't because you were a child. That has nothing to do with it. I felt a connection with you like I'd never felt with anyone else. I knew you were meant to be mine. And only mine."


But as real as this love is, it just isn't right. And it certainly doesn't erase all the damage Taylor has done to Faye's psyche, ruining her life and shredding her soul, driven and blinded by his love and obsession.



Dammit, the last %30 was especially painful to read. How could I have felt sick to my stomach one second, hopeful and almost happy the next, just to end up shaking with fury, teary-eyed and overwhelmed by sadness? At some point, I had to stop trying to analyze all the input bombarding my brain, and just start reading like a robot, devoid of emotion, to keep my sanity intact.



It was hard for me to accept that this woman and I were one in the same. We were monsters, her and I. Every time I saw her she was even more lost than the last time. She was dirtier each time.

The woman in the mirror was me. And I despised her.


The self-hatred and dread Faye feels, pushes her to do something drastic, and the book ends with a BANG.



And now he would be able to forget. He would be able to move on with his life without me and the poison, the filth that seemed to follow me everywhere I went.


CAN NOT WAIT FOR BOOK #4!

The tragedy that is Faye’s life continues to keep me riveted to the pages. The cocaine she uses to cope rules her life. It’s impossible for her to accept help from Rhett without revealing her addiction and she is no where near ready to give up her numbing highs in exchange for a look at the reality she’s living.

When Rhett drags her back to civilization she makes the one call she should never have to; but with only one person knowing and willing to feed her addiction, she doesn’t think she has a choice. If there was ever any questions about Faye’s life before becoming a prostitute, they will all disappear when Faye’s past with Taylor becomes her present.

This installment ends on a cliffy. Like, a giant, steep, depressing cliffy with lots of sharp rocks at the bottom.

Faye escaped the streets for a few days just to be returned to her nightmare. Although her attraction and desire for Rhett hasn��t faded, some scars are just too much to ignore. Returning to the place where she’s in control was supposed to be her salvation, but Rhett isn’t ready to let go of the girl that he knew all those years ago. He found her once, and he proves that he’ll find her again.

But when he brings her back once again – this time everything changes and Faye’s past can’t be escaped, without letting go of everything.

So what can I say about part three other than fuck, I needed a shower to wash off the creeps this one gave me. There is so much I want to say about this series, but the author left the blurb so vague that I can’t without spoiling something! This story is so much more than the few sentences that are given to us in the description.

I am addicted to this series.

"Rhett’s face flashed in my head. He hated me, but I didn’t hate him. Even after the things he said when he saw me with his dad, I didn’t hate him. I couldn’t because of who he had been to me back before I ran away. He had been the only person who seemed to actually care about me. Even now, he had wanted to help. 

But it was too late. I was beyond all help. And now he would be able to forget. He would be able to move on with his life without me and the poison, the filth that seemed to follow me everywhere I went."


these novellas deal with really heavy and dark themes. seriously, the shit going on in these books is really fucked up and makes me lose my faith in humanity. now I'm hooked on these books, and I need to see how it ends.

4.5 SAD POISONOUS STARS

*Be prepared for major cliffy!

Poor Faye is back at the Truck Stop with a John, when Rhett returns for her... again. But when he breaks her heart the next day, she feels her only option to get what she needs and what she deserves, is to go back to Taylor.

description

After convincing him, he's the only man for her, Taylor spends his time with her in a torturous way. That is until Rhett walks in on them. But Rhett is only too eager and ready to believe the lies that Taylor tells him.

description

Since she's poisonous to everyone including herself... what's a girl to do?

description

description

Wow... just wow. I am so sad. I hate what's being done to Faye and what she believes her lot in life is. Everyone has failed her in her life. The one who is supposed to love you after giving birth to you, her mother. The man who was supposed to be like a father to her, and the only man she ever thought cared for her and who she thought she loved in her childish way.

To be in such despair, to not know any other way out, to never know unconditional love from those who are supposed to care for you.

I can't wait for the crushing weight of regret and guilt when Rhett finally finds out how horribly this poor girl was treated and his part in all of it. How he perpetuated her self loathing after all she's been through. I hope he chokes on it. But until then, I just have to impatiently wait for the next installment.

Megan.... How can you do this to me?!

STARS: 4.5 STARS
POV: Faye
HEA:
GENRE: *DARK*, Erotica
RELEASE DATE: 6 OCTOBER 2014.


This series just gets better and better! And I seriously want the next book like NOW! I cannot wait for release date.

This is how I feel right now:



This book is so f.up! I mean it just gets worse en worse each time! I'm too scared to read what will happen next!

WTF is going on in this Author's head? Where does she get this ideas!

I want the next book, like:



I seriously cannot wait. I want to know wtf happens next! How can the Author do this to me? Hahaha!

FAYE TURNER:

This is my Faye…



RHETT HALE:

This is my Rhett.



This story basically picks up where the 2nd book stopped! Rhett cannot make up his mind what he wants! I think he is scared. He really cares for Faye, but he is in a relationship with Sarah. What he does to Faye, broke my heart. He did it to spite her!

And she decides to take matters into her own hands! I wanted to bang her head into a brick wall! I mean seriously how could you be this stupid Faye?

Instead of trying to fix me, he chose to break me even more

You need to read the first 2 books in the series.

Filthy 1 - 1st book in the series
Filthy 2 - 2nd book in the series.

You're left in tears

Why does Rhett always think the worst of Faye? So far he can never be redeemable in my eyes of he ever tries. Taylor should be fried. Faye is trying to end the demons however I have a feeling they will always be there.

☆ I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!! ☆

#Wow, FIRST THING I think of when it comes to Filthy 3:

description

Yep, it was really just that. BUT, in an intriguing and addicting way that will keep you invested in seeing the story unraveling.

So what is this story about?:

In this third Filthy follow up, we once again chronicle the life of Faye Turner. Her reality is not one of sunshine and rainbows but a very harsh one filled with harsh, dark, and deviant motives that left her an empty shell of a person.

description

Trust me readers, you will want to scream, you will want you cry, and you will want to vent at times.

Faye and even Rhett were hands down some of the most confused and indecisiveness people I've ever read about!! So dysfunctional yet beautiful together!! Ever heard of the term "Beutiful Disaster"?. Yep, that was them!

description

Gosh, I am so afraid yet curious to see what the future holds for them!! Three more books to go guys!! We've just reached MID-POINT so far!!

***4,5 heart breaking, gut wrenching stars**



"She would run from darkness
Into more of the same
She would run to darkness
She could never stay away."


OMG,I'm a sobing mess right now.....this book is SOOO much darker than i thought, I couldn't believe what i was reading it was like watching a train-wreck and you are just screaming and crying from the sidelines for it to stop!!

"But it was too late. I was beyond all help. And now he would be able to forget. He would be able to move on with his life without me and the poison, the filth that seemed to follow me everywhere I went."

The writing style was brilliantly real and gritty... i felt everything Faye felt and understood her actions perfectly.

The villain of this story is a friggin' mental case...he is the guy who everybody trusts and love but he is the darkest twisted fucked up fucker i've seen in awhile!!!

The cliff-hanger at the end is really BAD..it had me staring in disbelief at the book for a good 15 minutes....what made it worse is that the next book doesn't even have a release date yet!...UGHHHH!!!!!!!! 

I'm going crazy now with all the possibilities that could happen in the next book and i can't freakin' wait!!! >___<

Oh. My. Gosh. This has to be the most emotional book in the series thus far. I’m on the edge of my seat reading this. My heart is breaking for Faye. She is falling further down the rabbit hole with no signs of resurfacing. The love hate banter between Faye and Rhett continue with some secrets confessed.

As Faye struggles with her drug addiction she is being tortured by her rapist/stepfather. Rhett happens to walk in on Faye and his father while Faye is naked and about to snort coke. I had high hopes for this scene. I so wanted Rhett to be the knight in shining armor and rescue Faye from his father but the scene did not play out that way.

Needless to say, Rhett appears to believe the bogus explanation of the situation by his father leaving Faye in a desperate state to escape.
description

What happens next is nothing less than touching. All I felt was a big lump in my throat and chest while reading these passages.

As this series progresses, it gets better and better. I can’t wait to see how everything turns out. This is a great dark and sexy series.

This particular part brings to mind the darkest, twisted secrets this Earth hides well in its belly; the ability of parents to easily abuse their children as though it is completely normal. Even though it is completely fucked up. I cannot get myself out of the mind-fuck I have gotten after reading this part. It isn't hard to imagine that I cried while reading most of it.

So let me just say this...
Whoever has not read any of Megan’s books then you need to get on it and I mean fast. Her writing will keep you craving, wanting, burning hot for more. Trust me when I say that. This series is getting so good, and I do mean good like EXTREMLEY GOOD. I always say I wants more with this series but that's only because I can not get enough. I finished this book in like an hour and a half and I was mad because I read it to fast and because I didn't want it to end yet. The ending will leave you saying “HOLY SHIT” and “OH FUCK NO!” trust me because that is what I had done. Let me remind that these books are short. With that being said enjoy and read at your risk. It is quite dark in a sad twisted way, but yet it is so fucking good.
