You're 99% sure that the boogie man is visiting your bedroom at night.
Every morning when you wake up, your clothes are shredded with sharp claws. He's even started stealing your underwear.
The only thing keeping you safe from his claws is your enchanted locket.
You've told the police, but they're useless. So, one evening, you set up your phone to record him and then you go to sleep.
The next morning, watch the recording to find a man with black wings rushing toward you before hitting an invisible barrier. Then he flies into a rage and tears up everything he can find.
As he reaches your phone, you press pause... To find the most beautiful man scowling into the camera.
Intricate black tattoos cover his muscular body and he's clutching your underwear in his huge hands.
But you're too busy staring at his forked tail that glistens with faerie dust.
reread: this was not any better the second time... but it also wasn't worse? have mostly the same feelings + opinions that I did before.
--------- this wasn't terrible, wasn't great, but it was somehow both better and worse than I was expecting.
cws: explicit spice + language, blood + gore, bodily fluids... lots of it. violence, stalkingand weird peens.
if any of you follow me on Instagram you would have witnessed first hand how much of an absolute train wreck this book was from start to finish. it was terrible, but you couldn't look away. at least that's what happened to me.
and when I say this was terrible, I mean the writing was awful and literally everything made me cringe and feel second hand embarrassment (or would it be first hand since the MCs obviously weren't embarrassed 🤔) from the characters who were... they were definitely characters. and literally some of the worst dirty talk that I have seen IN MY LIFE, you have. whatever this was.
I went into this, expecting it to be a SHORT, spicy novella. like 100-150 pages. no this is a whole book. ITS FOUR HUNDRED PAGES (this one is on me bc I didn't look anything up before starting lmao)
anyways, I skipped over the characters, but don't worry. I didn't forget about them, I couldn't even if I tried unfortunately. so first you've got Alienor who is this weak witch who's got a stalker that has been tearing her room apart for YEARS. she has no idea who (or what) it is. but now she has finally come up with a way to figure that out: she's going to set up her phone to record what happens in her room at night. (let me remind you, this has been happening for three YEARS and she's just now thinking of this i- yeah...)
AND THEN you've got Mr. Boogie Man. who is this immortal king who was cursed by his looong dead wife and has been trying to break said curse for 800+ year. Then he feels his wife's magic and- guess who he feels? you guessed it: our FMC. so he's been terrorizing her for years trying to get close enough to kill her to break that curse. oh btw, maybe you're asking, but Tori. what *is* this curse? oh boy let me tell you. in short, it's a chastity curse. oh you want more details? haha well. she cursed him not only with the inability to get aroused by anyone except for her, but ALSO (yes there's more) his ✨️release✨️ is salt. not salt-y, it is literally solid salt crystals. it's v painful as you can imagine. sooo he's just a liiittle bit upset. and why he's attempting to kill Alienor. because he thinks she's his dead wife. who cursed him. eight hundred years ago.
sooo was that not enough to convince you to (not) read this? well the story doesn't really feel like it starts until 60 ish percent of the way through. before that there's a lot of yelling and attempted murder/assault. there are decapitations and mystery mutts. and some angry spice. and a grandma getting off on a possessed broom stick. and then more spice. and then finally the story starts. and no. it's not a good story. like I said, it's a whole train wreck.
BUT I was very entertained and its v dramatic for no reason. so just for that I'm rounding it up to three. to summarize: did I like this? no would I read it again? absolutely not. would I recommend? ...maybe? like just for the fact that it was kind of entertaining, maybe you'll get a good laugh at how absolutely awful it is. but like I said, it's not good. if I had known ahead of time what I was getting into I'm not sure I would have bothered to pick it up. so you really aren't missing much by not reading it.
Not gonna lie, I've always had mixed feelings about the Boogie Man. But this swayed my opinion.
Me as a child: 😭😱😱😱 Noooow, Me as an adult: 😍🥵🥰🔥💦
If you've been following me for a while, then you know that I absolutely looove my monster smut. This is feeding my addiction...seriously. After reading Siggy Shade's Wicked Lessons, I had this feeling that this was gonna be amazing. And boy was I right. There were twist and turns...I seriously DID NOT expect that twist! This is the level of hot and smutty steam that I really enjoy reading. This was very well written and also a very emotional story. I really clicked with Alienor. I seriously can't wait for more from this author.
HONESTLY I thought this was going to be weirder. Twas not. I DIDN'T MIND IT but there is a LOT to unpack at some points. Like a lot. IYKYK kinda shit, y'know? I literally could not believe the shit that was happening.
This book is brutal. I’m sorry but it’s true. The writing was all over the place, I felt like I was reading someone’s first try at writing ever. The plot was also so random and didn’t make sense. Don’t get me started on the actual story. She talks continuously about men being turned into dildos by witches it was the most stupid thing ever I think it seems more like a comedy then a romance. I would not recommend this book to anyone and I honestly regret reading it. The sex scenes where just ok and often interrupted by other stupid shit.
book is so bad i cant even rate it a number, id rather read every book colleen hoover has ever published than ever read a single sentence from this book or anything from this author again
This book was so bad. Words cannot describe the disappointment and embarrassment I felt reading this garbage. If I could rate this book 0 stars I would, because it is not worthy of a single star. I’ve never read something where the author simply cannot spell. Words did not make sense and they were thrown around like wtff???
Lost valuable time reading this book. At this point can you even call it a book?
Read this book as a joke and I can see why. This book is a joke, it’s the equivalent of April fucking fools!!
One of the dumbest lines I’ve ever read was, and I QUOTE: “It’s in my balls. I can pump you full of power.”
I don’t know how this was allowed to be published because this was beyond what I thought stupid could get someone. Book is so bad it goes BELOW 0. -1/5 stars ⭐️
Only read if you’re with friends so it’s not that much of a waste of your time. Anyways bad read- do not recommend.
✨Witty sexy fae tale with a lot of smut ✨ ❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧ NO SPOILER REVIEW Rating ★★★★ Spice level 🌶️ 5/5
This was a cute monster/fae romance. I loved the historical background and all the british references.
The story is about a witch who is stalked by a monster at night. He destroys her room and steals her underwear and our poor girls is torned about it because nobody believes her that an animal of sorts is breaking into her room. This monster is under a curse and wants to kill our FMC, but the curse makes him attracted to her in other ways too..😉
The book is dual pov and both characters are funny , with a sharp and clever humor I liked all the coven subplot ( special mention to the broomstick 😂) and how powerfull and empowered women were in general in the story . No damsel in distress here. ( a lot of NA and YA authors can learn from this .cut the crap with the " im not like the other girls" trope plzz! )
"A little voice in the back of my head tells me I need to stop flirting with this centuries-old king and start finding a way back to the twenty-first century. I tell that little busybody that there’s plenty of time for time travel."
Another special mention to the second love interest of our FMC , who portrayed oh so well all the real men who dont take no for an answer 😂
You can expect a lot of "kinda" tentacle play, good ( and funny ) sex scenes and just a fun time reading this book.
The good -British jokes -wings, claws, fur .. -A big dog -broomsticks used as dildos 🤣
Actually what kind of drugs were put in this book, IT WAS SOOO MFING GOOD. Very memorable and def some new interesting aspects even for me. Plz read /srs
“I’m not your fucking wife,” I snap. “Now, get out before I set you on fire.”
This book was wild. It felt like a fever dream. Every time I thought it couldn’t get any weirder, I was almost unshockingly surprised. This book had literally everything. I’m not going to list them all because this book is best read blind.
Henry? My sweet baby boy? Will protect him til my dying breath. I love him so much.
This book invoked so many emotions for me. I couldn’t stop reading. It was so out there and insane and I loved it. It was an experience. If all of this sounds appealing to you, please go read it and then hop in my dms and let me know what you think 😂 I want chapter by chapter reacts
If this is trash I’m a raccoon. I’m hooked baby. Give me more.
this was entirely too long and i despised every second of it and yet i just kept reading! and then i was too close to the end to justify stopping so..
here are some outrageous quotes because i really think they say it all
“For the first time in my entire existence, I can love with my own free will,” he says, his voice choked. “And I choose you, sweet Alienor.” “When did you realize this?” I ask. “When you made me cum so hard that I drenched the garden in spunk,” he growls. “You chased away my fog of frustration and fury, leaving me clear-headed.” - and they say romance is dead!!🥺💗
“Would you like me to return your magic?” he asks.” “But how?” “It’s in my balls,” he murmurs. “If you wish, I can pump you full of power.” - this one speaks for itself
“Once you have milked me of my cum, you will share both my magic and immortality.” - this is where the absolute desecration of the english language in this book is rly sunk in
okay anyway. his dick was way too fucjing weird and i wish i didn’t read the dedication bc then i looked it up and dear fucking christ what i wouldn’t give to be able to erase that experience from my mind.
