5 I really need to be committed Stars
No seriously, I either need to be committed or I need an intervention because apparently years of therapy trying to deal with a tumultuous childhood is NOT getting me any closer to discovering why I am drawn to some of the craziest stuff I have ever read. I am trying to come up with words that can describe my feelings on this book (or really anything this author writes) Gobsmacked. Nope. Astonished. Nope. Dumbfounded. Close. Flabbergasted. Closer. Titillated. Definitely. Yet, none of these words quite fit when it comes to this author when I try and put my feelings for what she does into words. This leaves me frustrated because when I was getting my literature degree the Thesaurus and increasing my vocabulary was essential to not sound repetitive. Yet, here I am unable to articulate my feelings in words. Instead, I just keep repeating my favorite phrase, "HOLY TITFIRE" as I am scratching my head wondering if I need to go in search of absolution from Father John Francis this week (Sidenote I am no longer Catholic, so that is troubling in itself) because only bad Bad BAD girls would derive such pleasure from a story like this.
This author takes the degrading and the obscene and makes them both enticing and delicious. Her Omegaverse and world building are truly sublime and transcend almost anything else that I have read. She truly is one of a kind. I really need to quit challenging myself by saying she cannot push me out of my comfort zone any more than she has because like the true sadist she is she does. I don't even think this author could color in the lines if she wanted. At this point, I am inclined to agree with her always pushing the envelope because by writing something like this it truly shows that she writes for what her soul cries and not the dictates of society. For her writing truly is in her blood.
This book, as intense (and disturbing) as it was just reiterated that she is the true Queen of Omegaverse. It continues the story of Wren, Caspian, Kieran, and Toby. Wren. Just give this beautiful girl the crown for the most loved female character from the Mad world of Ms. Cain. Hands down my favorite of all her females characters. Life hasn't been easy for her yet her spirit and fight perseveres. My heart ached for her, was touched by her grateful side, and then cheered for her as she fought against the injustices she was dealt with (in this book in particular). The men at one time or another would show a crack in their armor where I thought I might like them and then, as fast as a mouse scurrying away with cheese, those feelings would dissipate. Each of them has a hidden moment that showed they all had ulterior motives for their deception. I think I have an idea of where this will go in the future but knowing the mind of this madwoman (aka the author in case there was any confusion as to whom I am referring to) anything can (and most likely will) happen
In the interim, while I am waiting for the conclusion of this book to be released I am going to up my wine intake, embrace that I love the kinky depraved Omegaverse, and probably throw the finger at society (and seeking absolution in particular) and instead find out how much my one way ticket to hell is going to cost me. Good thing I like the heat.
