Clare London

Overall 2,5 stars (only rated stories count)


Bodywork by Ashe Barker - 2 stars
I didn't like this (sexual feats -which I hate as a rule-, timeline error and a weak conflict based on miscommunication), but I don't rule out entirely the author, there's something in her writing that I find interesting and worthy to give her more chances.

Breaking the Marine by M.K. Elliott - 3 stars
Nothing special to say. I liked it.

Love on Location by Lucy Felthouse - 2 stars
Three days to read this novella says it all. the conflict point is very weak and implausible in the present-day England

Landscapes by K D Grace - DNF
A clear case of "it's me, not you".

The Chase by Lily Harlem - 1.5 star
The riddles were boring. I prefer trios in which all the members have their feelings invested and I didn't like Carrick's smarty attitude neither the speech artificially porny during sex, like "Come, my gorgeous little sub, come for your Master." or " Open up, sub. You know you want it", ugh. The best were the gags from Carrick's perfomance in the beginning, without them I would give it barely 1 star.

Dish of the Day by Clare London - 3.5 stars
I truly enjoyed this, especially how different they are and how they complement each other so good.

E2 by Sarah Masters - 2 stars
Dystopic Alternate Universe. A relatively original scheme although very inconsistent in scientific terms; I know that it's fiction but that's not to say that I admit nonsensical facts without any internal logic and without some kind of explanation.

Locked Out by Josephine Myles - 3.5 stars.
Cute light story, with a perfectly measured children touch and very likeable main characters.… (lisätietoja)

Wow! that was oppressive.

This book set the reader at work, you have to pay attention in order to catch every detail because the author gives away nothing.

And it comes to be nothing tough holding that attention; the story is absorbing despite of -or perhaps because of- the dark tones and the frugality of the narration.

I think that it isn't a story for all tastes, doesn't generate Aws or sighs but a kind of ball of anguish and caution in the pit of the stomach even in the ending.

There are more remarkable things: The plot in itself, with an outcome that I didn't see coming; a very good work with the MCs and cast, hardened like the background in which they live. Only George's character seemed me a little bit exaggerated

The best, in my opinion, was that none was served on a silver platter, that turned into an active experience the reading.… (lisätietoja)
