Goodreads Synopsis
A steamy bacchanal bending through time and space, replete with the occasional God, mythic creatures, and oh-so-many men. For centuries the godling Nerites luxuriated in a shifting sexual paradise, hopping from one bathhouse to another—from disco-era Manhattan to Feudal Japan and back to where it all started: ancient Rome. When the dark shadow of his half-brother, the sinister Obsidio, descends, his deadly kiss leaves bodies cooling in steam room corners. Nerites must adopt a new role: as defender of these hidden havens, his eternal orgy becomes a race across history itself.
My Thoughts
TW: Incest, Pedophilia
I just want to start this off saying I think this is just a case of this book wasn't for me, and that's ok. Honestly I think I missed something.
It starts off straight into the porn. At first I didn't think there was any plot to it, but by 1/3 in I did start to like it and see there is. Mostly I was just confused, and grossed out. Not from the porn/cock-sucking part, but from piss and shit stuff. However it was an easy and quick read that kept me attention enough to finish it, particularly with the MC's deadly brother. There were moments that I liked, and it was sad at times, and sometimes where I felt like something was just going over my head. Over-all it just wasn't my cup of tea, but if the synopsis intrigues you, give it a shot.
Eeep this definitely doesn't sound like a me sort of book. I definitely prefer books with a plot?! But I thought that was a mermaid on the cover for a moment. Pity.😂
ReplyDeleteLol! I didn't want to admit it but so did I. I think that's why I originally picked it up, thinking Mermaids! Woops!
