This was a super fast read, around 7 chapters but well written. Now it’s super steamy but not for the weak of heart. This is a story about a woman working as an embalmer so I will let you imagine how it’s a steamy read.
Recommend it if you want something steamy dark.

Immediately snagged by the cover, this book started my Rayne Havok snowball.
The Embalmer was such a fun little adventure. It had a good amount of build up plot as well as elements typically found in the horror genre.
Primarily dealing with necrophilia, this horror novella is a good toe dipper for those curious about horror books and/or those trying to gently push their limits without being too extreme in nature.
Just remember, to always tread lightly and know your own personal limits.
Happy reading! :)

This book was so severely fucked it almost made me laugh. It has a weird premise, and the weirdness continued. Tbh it would have almost been good smut if the guys involved weren’t LITERALLY DEAD. I’ve fallen very unlucky recently- having just finished Flowers in The Attic this is NOT what I needed. The writing was mediocre too- thank God it’s free and not too long.

I love reading books that make normal people say “what the fuck?” and Rayne delivered just that.

You see people gather around - this is what happens when you answer the call to the void and let that intrusive thought run rampant. WTF.
I am once again petitioning for a Viking funeral complete with canoe, pyre, wailing hotties and archers with impeccable aim. Just skip the mortuary altogether thanks.
We've all had that terrifying thought that the mortician in the morgue might be an outright pervert right? Oh wait you haven't had that terrifying thought? I guess I'll blame it on watching Criminal Minds and L&O SVU when I was barely a teen. This book feels like looking into the mind of the rare beast - a female serial killer. Well she has the potential.
The author managed to do something powerfully frightening - keep the reader hooked on one of the most depraved stories of the decade.
Spice level: Noooooo we will not be calling it spice of any sort.
Plot/Storyline: started in the pits of hell. But then, there was this 2nd act filled with potential, hope and dare I say love story. Yeah it all ended in a further pit in hell.
Characters: Sadie Sadie Sadie smdh. I liked Rhys.
Favorite scene/quote: I can take an aspirin for mine. You need bedrest, plus, you’re probably contagious, and I don’t want to catch that shit.” It comes out a little harder than I intend, but seriously… gross. (Sadie on her boss's cold when just seconds before she was caressing and stroking a cadaver's junk. Cognitive dissonance).
