What the fuck even was that?



I could not even believe what I was reading.



But clearly, I kept on reading, like a serial killer watching a crime scene. I just couldn’t look away.




I picked this up, because I read the Men of the North series by this author, which made me want to read all of her novels, and this one just came out of the blue and side smacked me across the face with a shovel. I have rarely been so absolutely stunned when reading a story. I just don’t even know how to put anything that I felt into words.


It ranged from curious:




To absolutely dumbfounded:




To strangely excited, though I didn’t want to admit it:




To shocked:




To slightly disgusted:



To outraged:




To strangely turned on:




Back to momentarily disgusted:




To shocked again:




And then back to accidentally turned on again:




Followed by really into this:



And concluding with the most traditional ending ever for a truly nontraditional story, which made me feel all:




I still don’t know what in the hell I just read, but clearly I liked the majority of this weird, messy, totally unexpected shit that occurred, even though if it had happened to anyone I know in real life, I’d have advised them to run the fuck away and report malpractice to the feds.

But it wasn’t in real life, so instead I watched this shit go down like:




The narration by Noelle Bridges and John Masterson is spot on. John has a nice, deep, sexy voice, and Noelle reads with a lot of emotion.
