Ummmm what did I just read!?! Who knew the Grim Reaper was so HOT!

A Halloween tragedy that actually turns out to be the best thing that ever happened to Renae. This one is super short and super filthy but also kinda sweet in a very dark and messed up way.

A super quick, halloweeny book about a 19 year old woman who endures years of abuse and neglect and decides to take her own life. Enter the Grim Reaper who gives her a choice that will change her life for eternity.

This was a super quick, spicy read that had me hooked from the very beginning. It was a unique story with dark elements and a lot of super spicy scenes between a mysterious grim reaper figure and a human woman. All in al, a good story--one I would recommend to dark romance lovers and monster romance lovers alike.

Dark, mysterious, sexy, and intriguing! New genre and author for me but was pleasantly surprised! Would recommend for readers who are in need of something new and unlike other romances on the market! Paranormal and absolutely filled with sexy goodness

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for my advanced readers copy of Deathly Desires.

Tigger Warnings: suicide, mentioned abuse and rape
Renae has had enough. After suffering abuse her whole life, she decides to end it all. But stuck in between limbo she meets someone who actually cares for her, the grim reaper himself. Renae just wants to move on, but the reaper has other ideas…
This story was okay, I didn’t hate it, but it definitely wasn’t my favorite book from this publisher. I didn’t love how young the main character was. Renae was 19, and I would have preferred if she was a little older, but that’s just my preference. I also didn’t love the plot of this book. I won’t spoil anything, but it just wasn’t for me. However, the spicy scenes were very enjoyable and creative.
I would recommend this book to those who like paranormal things and a very spicy read.

A super quick read about Renae and her steamy time with the Grim Reaper.

Renae, tired of being abused and taken advantage of, decided to take things into her own hands and end her life on her favorite holiday, Halloween. Instead of going to heaven or hell, she was stuck in limbo. There she met the Grim Reaper. Of course, it didn't take much or long for her to jump his bones.

Was this the most believable story? Definitely not! The word choices had me giggling and shaking my head. Also the pacing was a bit too fast for my liking. How the heck do you go from doing the deed to I Love You so quickly?! The story was a bit nonsensical at times but still entertaining. If you're looking for a quick and steamy read, then this is for you.

*Can be read as a standalone.*

This was a lot shorter than I expected, but I quite enjoyed it. Yeah, everything happens too fast, and yeah, it's all pretty much unbelievable, but it all worked for me anyway. What surprised me the most was that the FMC was only 19. Considering everything the story is about, she seemed really young. On the other hand, considering everything she has suffered thru her whole life, it also makes sense what she does.

Renae has been abused in pretty much every way possible her whole life. She's tired of everything people do to her, and tired of working so hard for nothing. So she decides to kill herself on her favorite holiday. Halloween. She does indeed succeed but her afterlife is nothing like she expected. The Grimm Reaper (Azrael) ends up being this super hot, shadowy figure, with a skull like face, that is solid but also not. Did I mention he was super hot? Renae has no problem giving in to his sexual desires or her own with him. She has never felt like she has belonged somewhere as much as she feels she belongs with him, so when given the chance to choose her future she doesn't hesitate. Now, from here things get a little more unbelievable with what Azrael does to Renae and then with what he allows her to do. But what really blew it was the "I love yous" after these two literally have only had sex and killed people together. Still, I liked it and would probably check out other stories by this author.

***NetGalley Review***

Did I enjoy this? I mean...I laughed a lot

TWs for this read; SA, child abuse, drugs, self harm, suicide, some gore...nothing is gratuitous detail IMO.

What did I enjoy?

This is a super quick smutty-smut-smut read that gets right to the point without even a "Hi, how are you?". For how fast paced this story is it surprisingly has a plot, not a great one, but it's there so I'm going to give it bonus points for that. I laughed a lot whilst reading this; some intentional, others more nervous'ish. I'll admit that this is the first time reading anything by this author so I did not know what to expect - but erotica is definitely the correct genre identifier.

The story takes place over the span of one Halloween evening when the FMC meets the MMC, or AKA, the Grim Reaper - and then 'stuff' happens, a lot. Finally, the FMC gets some long overdue justice.

What did I NOT enjoy?

Considering this is basically a short story I'm not going to give it too much grief BUT it was a lil ridiculous. Which may be the intent, IDK. It really reminded me of a cheesy porno where the guy knocks on the door and when the woman wearing just her underwear opens the door, he's wearing a Spirit Halloween plumber costume and says "I'm here to snake your pipes" or something stupid like that.
