One of my favourite authors is back with a new addition to her Druid series. Let's have a close look at that hot, hot cover! Any of you, book buddies, is following this series? I've read other books by Marata Eros but haven't started this series yet. Would you recommend it? Ah, don't forget to indulge in the details and take part in the giveaway :o)
A
Slice of Sin
How do you want your romance served up? Cold, like day
old pizza? You know exactly what you're getting, without surprises and it's a
no-fix easy edible?
Doesn't sound yummy?
You're not alone. Romance is almost always great. It's
proven to be the fastest, most-sold genre of those available to the demographic
who reads the most: women.
Did you cut your teeth on the speedy and short
Harlequin romances of the 1980s? Or was it Danielle Steel? Possibly Twilight
sucked you in. Or more recently, Fifty Shades. See—I don't even have to say the
entire title. It's so widely known a half title reference works just as well.
What kind of romance is hot right now? Well, I don't
have a statistician at-the-ready but if reader and writer buzz is spot-on, it's
the dark stuff.
I recently read, The Decimation of Mae by UK
author, DH Sidebottom. It was so disturbing, I just couldn't help but finish
it.
That sounds wrong. But when there's compelling
writing, I'm gone. Done. Finito. I crave it. The subject matter is almost
second to the compulsion the author throws at me. Is it better when there's an
element of romance? Yes. Do I need it to feel compelled to read the
book? No.
My work is dark. All of it. And I'm certainly not the
first author to write dark fiction. There's been plenty before me. It's just
now, women are beginning to expect the unexpected. Reader demand at its finest.
BDSM? Not off limits anymore. Non-consent? Depends. There's a entire new branch
of romantic erotica falling under the “taboo” sector. What is that? Well,
anything that delivers non-vanilla fare. Erotica is so widespread now Amazon
took steps at the first of the year and fractured the erotica genre into over a
dozen categories. Want erotic horror? Romance? It's there.
So how does that change things for the better? For
starters: readers get to broaden their inventory. It's not that mainstream
isn't great (I like mac & cheese like everyone else). But there's something
about having literary options that pleases the avid reader to almost zealot
proportions. I read 2-4 books per week, depending on my ability to
sleep-deprive myself. I get excited when Pixel of Ink appears in my inbox and a
book I've been salivating over comes on sale. Or, a reader says I have
to read such and such. As was the case with TDoM. Three different readers of my
work said I had to read that work. So I did. I even paid full price at
around $3. It took me 6+ hours to finish TDoM and it only cost me the price of
a large coffee. Awesome value. Lots of bang for that buck.
I just need the next slice of dark. Like a decadent
dessert that never disappoints, I want to read something for guilty pleasure,
to look forward to each night, until the last, metaphorical bite.
If you're just breaking into dark fiction, there are a
few great reads out there. Start with the one above. Or, if you're unsure, look
in the “also-bought” section to find other dark “desserts.”
They won't expand your waistline, just your mind.
I'm always up for that.
