Status Updates From Sibylline

“...I feel myself lowering between Raven’s knees as Dorian presses his erection against my back. I’m so hot, and the three of us are slick with sweat, and now Raven’s hands are on my shaft, guiding me, and as I plunge into her, Dorian’s thrusting into me. And the three of us are making love with each other, in a perfect, perfect circle.”

Maybe these damn puritans are right

“I can feel Dorian’s lips on mine and Raven’s hands on my body. Someone is undressing me, and when I reach forward, I realize they are undressing themselves as well. Now Raven’s breast is against my mouth, and I open it, licking her nipple. She sighs as Dorian’s head brushes against my stomach, and now he’s taking me in his mouth.”

What the helly

“The practitioners of Sibylline’s vaunted magical arts are fighting against us. They have knowledge and training. We have friendship and love, and raw talent.”

😑

“Silently, the malum stalks forward. Wisps of shadow drift from its body like smoke from a candle that’s just gone out. Long appendages slither out of its arms, twisting like ink-black roots into fingers…and claws.”

Slenderman ??

“He wanted and still wants Raven, while I want him, and Raven wants me, and the circle goes around and around without anyone getting what they want.”

Bro I can't with this

“The books are chained to heavy wooden desks, preventing them from wandering, like Aspen told me they could.”

👁️👄👁️

“I respond to her touch, arching into her when her warm fingers wrap around me. It’s like she’s the one who can read minds; she knows exactly where to touch, where to stroke, how to make me shiver. My hand cups her breast and squeezes it. I kiss her so tenderly. I don’t want her to stop. And God help me, I’m ready to explode.”

Is this too explicit for YA? Idek anymore. The publisher says 17+

‘“I can always tell the time, without looking at a clock,” she says coolly. “I know, it’s kind of trivial.”

“Not at all,” I say, to be polite. I know it’s not her fault that her father’s name and reputation probably got her in, but it stings a little. That’s all she can do?’

What the hell lol

‘“I’ve been told that you possess a magical ability, is that true?”

“Psychometry, yes.” That’s the clinical term. “When I touch something, I see flashes of its history, of the person who carried it, the emotions poured into it when it was being held.” The talent works with people, too, but results are unpredictable, dangerous even.’

Wait that's cool tho

Let's see how bad this is

Reading this solely for clarity and context of recent content coming out regarding it.
Thus far I can safely say it should’ve been a draft save or published within the new adult section.
It is bland bones at best. With ✨ shock value ✨

This book is so funny I love discourse
