Status Updates From Seven Nights

// This was the longest book in the history of the world >:-o!!!!
Hyperbole, I know, but that's how I feel, okay?!!!

// “Ugh,” the Senator grunted. “It appears you've made your choice, Austin.”

~ Politicians say a lot of stupid shit, but I am pretty sure they aren’t 13 year old pre-pubescent boys who say “ugh”!!!!!!!

// STOP WITH THE “DUDE” AND “BUD” ALREADY!!!!! Author, you’re ruining a wonderfully steamy moment!! These men are about to fuck ... are you REALLY going to throw words like “dude” and “bro” and “bud”, every second sentence, just so you can showcase some resistance?!!? ENOUGH!! It’s distracting and you’re shooting yourself in the proverbial foot!!!!!

// The sex/makeout scenes are definitely hot though and this author is getting THAT write at least ... FOR NOW!!!

Though I have to say, these guys need to stop calling each other “dude”!

// Who is this Van Barrett character?!!? Seriously!! Is he/she one of those writing groups with a gazillion women in it who got together just to pop out a few stories, sully the M/M book pool, and disappear without impacting their day jobs?!!? The reason I ask is because I am wanting to ask this particular “author” to STOP WRITING!!! Do us all a favor and stop writing!!!!!!

// “Welp.”

~ Does anyone actually SAY that?!!? Enough already!!!


I do have to say that the sex/jerk off scenes ARE pretty hot!!

// This author’s writing really REALLY irritates me :-/!!

// WTF!!
1. Why do you keep saying “manhood”?!? Just say cock for Pete’s sake!! There’s nothing wrong with manhood, but with the way you’re dancing around the word “cock”, it’s becoming supremely obnoxious!!
2. Who are you yelling “I’m cumming” to?!? You’re jacking it alone in your room!!
3. What’s with “welp” in your internal musings?!?

// *Rolls eyes* ...

// “He hadn't warned Austin, after all, that there was something terribly wrong with the trees at this resort. They were weak and frail and they couldn't stop falling out of the sky!
Cedar sidled next to him. “I'm really sorry, Austin. I dunno what to say.”
Austin shrugged. “Don't worry about it. Nothing you could've done.”

~ My blood is boiling!! Is this guy for real?!!?

// Okay, does this author think Austin's behaviour is attractive?!!? I often times wonder to myself - when it seems like there's no reason why an MC would be the way they are - why the author would create such a douchebag MC!! I mean, this guy is most certainly not endearing himself to his reader o__O!! I hope Austin gets better because as of right now, I cannot stand him!!

// Wow, Austin, you’re kind of a pompous fucking asshole!!

// The writing here is a little stilted and not to cast stigmas and stereotypes at any gender, but this sounds like a convo immature little girls or catty women would have, not boys ... not mature adult men anyway!!

// “Austin sped recklessly, his eyes darting between the road ahead and the digital clock on his dashboard. 8: 52 PM … He passed a yellow road sign warning of crossing deer. Going this fast, he knew he wouldn't be able to stop if a deer stepped into his path. But given his mood, he had a hard time caring much about that.”

~ Given your MOOD?!!? You’re suicidal then?!!? FFS - *Shakes head*!

// Uhhhhhhhhhh this isn’t “M/F elements” as alluded to in the blurb. Admittedly, I didn’t see it when I purchased it so the trigger must have been added only later, but anyway, I figured it’d be kissing or groping or whatnot!! This is FUCKING!! Though the scene is a small one, it is detailed and I’m NOT sorry but I don’t want details of M/F fucking in my M/M books :-/!!

// Hmmmm very different to what I’m used to or what I’d normally go for (in terms of writing style), but we’re actually off to a good start :-)!! Here’s to this book continuing to be good :-)!!

// ... Let’s call this “giving new authors a try” week (though to call it a week is a massive overstatement) and just go with with the flow.
At the very least I’ll have cleared my queue of the new authors I decided to take a chance on just for the heck of it :-)!!

// I have a feeling this is going to be a long, long, long book!! I have no idea what I was thinking purchasing 4 books by this author as I’m highly suspicious of whether I’ll tolerate them or not, but a good deal is a good deal, and I must have been feeling magnanimous because 4 of this author’s books I do own!! Starting off I can tell this is not what I’m normally used to or go for, but what the heck ...

// I’ve owned this for quite a while now - I think it was on sale for $0.99 or something which is why I do, because I remember being very much on the fence - and I decided it is most definitely time for me to clear this book from the folders of books I own!!

Let’s do this and here we go ...

Book, PLEASE be good!!
