This is what i love about Showalter's writing:
He flashed to the outskirts of the male’s palace. A towering monstrosity built from blood and bones. The surrounding moat was a mix of acid and the tears of the damned. Above, dragons flew through a sky of smoke and fire.
I love this darkness, the fantasy, the description of the setting... I just live it.
i will say though that this book started out a bit different than what I expect from her. It took a while for the female main to develope.
The most feminine parts of her began to throb. “I’m married, yes, but not for long. This girl will be getting a speedy annulment.”
Another step. “No need. I’ll make you a widow.”
“They called me a bitch. I called them an ambulance.”
—Cameo, keeper of Misery
I love how Showalter has a quote from one of the characters in the book at the beginning of each chapter. This one is priceless! Go Girl!
I got it! Yes!
Excerpt:
“Hit.” Jab. “Me.” Jab.
The beast snarled, and Baden...
Baden detonated like a bomb, whaling on William, who made no effort to block or dodge the barrage of blows.
“Fight back!” Baden shouted.
“Since you suggested it...” William threw a punch of his own, a crack so powerful Baden reeled backward and slammed into the dresser.
This is the mind vacation I needed! Love these demon possessed males. I want one for Christmas.
