It’s a short story. The twist was okay but I was more surprised about the aftermath.
When Jessica said its okay i sacrificed my child to the monster, you helped me replace her and she patted her belly I died. That was a twist.

I felt more sympathy for the side characters more than Dorian Gray. Alan, Sibyl, James and especially Basil! Lord Harry is something else I have no love for him.

A dystopian world where books are banned which leads to a society controlled by the government. You can see parts of the book in reality nowadays. And at first I didn’t like Mildred, montags wife but my feelings changed. She would choose the “family” on tv over her own husband. It’s sad what society done to her.

I was almost finished with the book but to me it became a chore to listen to them basically have sex all the time and it’s boring. Not really passionate and steamy. The plot was interesting and I wished the author spaced out the sex scenes and made it more like them longing for each others touch but they can’t because they’re 2 different species and their separate kingdoms would disapprove. Like that idea only lasted for the year that they were in the castle, next it was sex after that with a little thought to their futures.

there is a rape scene between Amaya and her fiancé. Cade does seek revenge and it’s implied that when he had Parker pinned down he stuck the butter knife in a place where the sun doesn’t shine. Revenge for raping Amaya. My 2 warnings

Priests shouldn’t be hot (I repeat 5x over) but this one was!! The story was nitty gritty and depressing. I really felt the main character struggle. Taking care of her neurodivergent brother and her disabled best friend on a strippers salary is very realistic. Then Cade the hot murderous priest who became obsessed with the main character was the icing on the cake.

It’s a good book, I’m surprised I expected this book to be the typical hot gangster like romantic interest and he does questionable things, sometimes illegal stuff who the main girl falls in love with but, no. Julian, I understand why he is the way he is but realizes he’s the problem and he addresses that. I loved it. And Yasmin is a relatable character. She’s trying to get approval from her dying father but is willing to do anything to stay within his good graces, even if she winds up unhappy.

The Shining by Stephen King
The spontaneous racism at the end was unnecessary. When the haunts of the hotel went after each character Dick got it the worst because he’s black. Then I felt uncomfortable when the parents started to feel on each other with their kid sleeping just inches away. They eventually had sex and the kid acknowledged it when he woke up. Why does a 5 year old know that. Ick

Interesting book and I like the way it ended. I liked Jacks character and how he struggled with alcoholism and his temper, the mother Wendy, is a submissive woman who only thinks of her child. She strives to be completely different from her own mother who she detests. Danny is an interesting character trying to understand the world around him with his “shining” abilities. Lastly we need to protect Dick Hollorann. He’s the type of friend everyone needs. Just call and he will be there.

Throughout this book all I thought was “Stop it, get help” 😂 this book has a crazy ending but the build up to it was slow and sometimes pointless. The slow parts were the main character Bret doing drugs, falling into a drug induced sleep and fantasizing about various men he can’t have. But I do see how it plays into his mental state. The really pointless points were when the author when go into tangents about movies or music from the 80s. He would go into great detail about these things but I didn’t see the point.

Okay I’m going to admit the premise of the book had me. This girl has a crush on her best friend’s father?! That’s just scandalous. At first I was like omg how will she ever tell him! But once he figures out that she’s into him we find out he’s a disgusting piece of work. He’s controlling, crazy and a little mean to her. And I didn’t forget that part that he’s been checking her out since age 16? Like he knew she had a crush since then but he didn’t say he noticed her looks at 18 or later. He went on and on about her being “innocent” and I felt icky. I had to read some reviews since I wasn’t going to finish this book to hear the rest of the filth. It’s crazy what this man takes her through and she loves it. Dude.
