The Good House by Tananarive Due
DID NOT FINISH: 49%

 I was interested. There is a good story in here...but I can't wade through the insane amount of ridiculous horniness anymore. And i'm a trans man 1 year on T...me saying it's too horny...you might have a problem. I could swear if I didn't know any better this was written by a horny 15 year old boy.

You have dead people, dead KIDS for that matter, and mystery and wtf-ery and horror going on and y'all can't stop thinking about sex every 5 seconds and the love triangle shoe horned in so damn hard and more horny thoughts and just...what does any of it have to do with the plot of the story? The crumb in here that's actually interesting? Nothing. It has nothing to do with it that I can see. It just takes away from the actual story imho and I can't take it anymore because I keep thinking about it and it just annoys me more the more I think about it. I just want to scream at the characters "Masturbate already and get on with the damn story!!"

I'm not a prude. I'll read 100% pure smut, but in that case that'd be what i'm reading it for. This wasn't supposed to be smut or anything like that. This was supposed to be a horror story. The only horror is how horny these characters are. And don't even get me started on that scene with the underage girl and whatever is going on with Tariq.

I read 49%. It's a shame, I was looking forward to this. I thought I was going to love it.
