Lust: The Summer of Sin

7 Deadly Sins #4

by Ash Ericmore

Lust

There's a type of man that people don't remember... not the bar tender, not the taxi driver, not the other faces at the bar. He's the type of man she'll take. She'll take him home to meet the family. One of many homes built on years of growth. And there they'll feed.

Over and over, they'll feed.

Lust contains scenes of brutality unsuitable for some. Consider this a trigger warning for everything.

Envy. Gluttony. Greed. Lust. Pride. Sloth. Wrath.

The seven deadly sins, played out full of gore and sex and each featuring kick-ass female leads.

Gore driven.
Sex laden.
Lady-balls to the wall.

These are the 7 deadly sins.

Genres: Horror

Y'ALL. Let me tell you that upon finishing this ARC, I've let out a long, non-ironic "AWWWWWWW!!!".

I didn't expect to have that kind of reaction from an Ash Ericmore book. Now I know better that he can pull off surprises like this, whether intentionally or not. It's just beautiful.

(Full review to come soon!)

Another amazing addition to this collection to make your summer all the more sinful! The plot is great, the ending is even better. Sex, sin and revenge, with a dash of dark humour. What more does a girl need? Perhaps the last sentence, which had me CACKLING, LMAOOOO.

The wannabe Lothario can’t believe his luck when an attractive woman at the bar takes him home. ‘Bateman’ doesn’t understand the word ‘no’, he thinks he’s a player, he doesn’t realise that women can be players too.

The collective are hungry and this fat waste of space has multiple helpings to offer. Divine retribution!

Book 4 of The Summer of Sin series. Ericmore dissects the 7 Deadly Sins and presents them to you in brutal technicolour.

We start out in a bar, as our female main character is searching for a man amongst the crowd of many. Someone she can take home. Someone she can have her way with. Someone who no one will ever notice is missing. While hanging out with Harry, and really hitting it off, a crude pig of a man who calls himself, "Smash", but, the main character refers to as, "Bateman", as he reminds her of a pompous businessman type, cuts in in an attempt to steal her away. She decides that this Bateman character deserves what she has in store for him, rather than Harry does, and leaves with the greaseball. Along the way back to her place, Bateman gets a little too handy, but, this doesn't deter her. Upon entering the house, and making it to the bedroom, they hook up, much to her displeasure. After the act is done, her friends enter the room. Elizabeth, Leah, and Caroline. They are here for some fun, but a much different kind. Is this Smash's lucky day? Or, is he in for the most terrifying night of his life? Jammed with blood, gore, and dripping with sex, this book in the series was a wild ride, that takes a sharp turn into the macabre, and proves that desire, pleasure, and pain are all relative, and somewhat connected when it comes to Lust.

Our female lead this time is one that takes men from a bar. Making sure they are ones that won’t be remembered. For her to feed on. And no not like gluttony. This is a damn vampire short. Hell yeah Ash has pulled all the stops for these shorts. Will these men survive?

This was methodically written. The desperation from our lead as she takes a man. Or several. Who knows. I really liked this one over the others as I felt more in touch with our lead. I felt more in sync with her and felt her need. The sex was expertly executed as always and I feel this one was the strongest of the sins as of yet but not my favourite! Gluttony was the fave. But in all round review terms this one wins for the development, the emotions and the all round story!

Cannot wait for the next part!

Ash brings another story to flourish for his seven sins collection. A lot tamer than the usual writing style I'm used to, but it has more of a hammer horror gothic feel to this one which can be appreciated. As we meet a seductive temptress, whose main prey is the predator. By this I mean, that man who treats women like a commodity that he can take. He thinks women fawn over him and happen to have a god complex, got the picture? Well, imagine a long drawn out painful death. That's the direction taken with this one, as we follow the narrator and her four sisters. This story is a new twist on a classic horror trope, with interesting characters and a new look at the emotion of Lust. A darker tale from Ash, giving way to showcase his versatile nature as an author.

she's out on the prowl when she comes across her next conquest "Bateman", he can't believe his luck when the beautiful woman takes him from the pub to lead home, what's the worst that could happen he no doubt thinks? well to find that out I highly suggest you read this great addition to the 7 deadly sins series.

filled with the blood, violence, sex and dark humour that ash ericmore excels in writing !!!

She takes men to the bar and laps them up in all her glory, with 3 of her sisters.
This man, Bateman will be long forgotten.
The egotistical bastard who thinks he’s gods gift to woman.
He doesn’t realise their agenda, not until it’s too late.
Four blood thirsty woman dying to play with their prey.

The unnamed sister, surprisingly enough has a sweet side. She’s got a soft spot for Harry.

A sexy vampire erotica

This turned out to be Ash Ericmore's vision on vampires. For what it was, it was fine. The story was kinda predictable but easy to follow.

I absolutely loving this series. It's one of my favourites so far! Bateman is one of those characters you just love to hate!

I will definitely read all this series but I’m not really into vampire books or films so I will continue to see what the next three are like
