Smutty Books - Blog Posts
When I see someone in public who is reading a smutty book, I tell them that it's a really good book weather or not I've read it.
The panic in their eyes fuels me.
It's taken me days to try to articulate what I feel about Crescent City in one, coherent rant. Specifically, this first book..
There was SO much world building; I was practically pixelating into Lunathian, itself, watching the buildings rise around me, the river, the people.
Then? The story. Already ripping my heart out in just a few chapters. Now... The story continues. Twists, turns, surprise, and realization. This is NOT first person narration. The main characters hide much of their thought process until it's time for a reveal. We get to be surprised alongside other characters.
Now, let's get into SJM's ability to make all Hel break loose in the final 100 pages. I was STRESSED. I was INVESTED. I was... Completely, utterly, and unapologetically SHATTERED. I've never cried so hard, felt so much heartbreak, anxiety, and hope in such a short span of a book.
I still haven't fully recovered, even after finishing the series. My throat catches in desperate love and devotion amongst these characters. All I have to say from here? "Light it up." 😭🌙⚡✨
Hardcover, Paperback, Kindle, or Audio?
Whichever way, you'll find me in the Smut department. 😘
