2017 | Horror
Psychological horror at its best
I had to text the entire time, and fast forward through bits because it is terrifying at points on so many levels.

Gerald and his wife attempt to reignite their marriage by going to a secluded location to play sex games. Unfortunately he leaves her handcuffed while having a heart attack. In between, there are deep psychological traumas and hallucinations, gore, and you wonder what's real as she continues to run out of time.

It's pure Stephen King, mixing real emotions with the downright frightening. That last scene would never have happened but my heart is still racing.

This book is one you can read time and time, again. Simultaneously beautiful and tragic. It details growing up, suicide, puberty, depression, anxiety, relationships, sex, drugs, and secrets. Told by way of secret letters in a diary style, each one showing more and more clearly the daily life of Charlie, a strange outcast who wants to belong but also just wants to observe. I highly recommend putting yourself through this wonderfully written adventure. Get ready to be heart broken by almost every page and uplifted by the moments of elation as though they were your own.

On The Basis Of Sex (2019) fails to make its case
Armie Hammer may or may not be destined to answer the Batsignal, but never fear because he’s here to answer the virtue signal as the focus-stealing Martin Ginsburg, arguably the main character of a movie which sets out to repeatedly show him as the admirable, ahead-of-his-time supportive new man whose courageous struggle with testicular cancer and subsequent building of a lucrative tax career is told against the backdrop of the groundbreaking civil rights work of his wife....

Wow what a ride. Ever since reading Anderson’s Claimed, I have been jonsing for a good alien romance without all the cheese and ridiculousness. This series was exactly what I needed. It has everything, being both steamy and romantic with the plot able to carry itself. Each couples’ was different from each other in both personality and dynamic. Each one took you on a separate journey and I was in love with each in every one. I will add the disclaimer that if you aren’t into rough sex and alpha males, then you should skip this one.
  
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is the first I have read in this series but it is certainly not the last. I thought this was going to be another cliche romance story involving a female wronged by a man for a stupid reason and a man tired of meaningless sex. Honestly it would have been if the author wasn’t such a good storyteller. I enjoyed both the characters and environment. Their love story was a delight, reading their journey of learning what they need rather than what they think they need.
  
So I received this book because I thought it the idea behind it was interesting. I mean the girl voices her sex dreams about her neighbor in her her sleep, and he can hear all of it. I actually thought this would be a great erotic novel.

Alas, I was bored to tears. The characters were obnoxious and everything that could remotely be considered interesting happened within the first 50 pages. After a certain point, I literally could not force myself to read on. I skimmed the rest of the book and realized that nothing interesting happens. No loss.
