Cool to the Touch by Terry Maggert



Cool to the Touch, Short Horror Erotica
As long as there is life, there will be the need for love. When a plague brings our worst fears to life, and the dead refuse to be still, one man is left with his own moral dilemma when he discovers the woman of his dreams isn't exactly alive. Nor is she completely dead. In this short tale of horror and erotica, we answer a question:

How consuming is love?
4.5 out of 5, here's why:
Cool to the Touch combines two things that should never, ever go together. Zombies and sex. Yeah, you read that right. Zombie sex. Sex with zombies. Not exactly the stuff of which dreams are made.

“How consuming is love?”

Would you believe me if I told you this is a sensitive and eloquently written tale of love, loss, lust and utter hopelessness? You should because it’s true.

I quite enjoyed it. It’s not all up in your face gross as most of the “monster porn” I’ve read has a tendency to be (not that there's anything wrong with that either!). It’s sexy but not super explicit. It’s .99 cents for 12 pages of terrible beauty and if this author decides to write a full out erotic horror novel I’ll be the first in line to one-click that thing.

Read it if this is your thing. I won’t judge you. Come on. You know you want to. . . Here's a small sample of what's in store.

"Things were precarious just then. I could feel the aftershocks of her own pleasure clenching me at the root, as if every drop of me might bring her back from the edge of depravity that she stood upon."

    I am fascinated by the premise of this book. I would love to give it a try. I have read a few walking dead spins that interject emotion, and I generally go for them. Thanks for the review.

      I hope you enjoy it, if you give it a read. I really hope the author writes a full length novel in this style someday.

Tackling the To Be Read List (1)

I was going to create a little feature where I'd have you vote on my next TBR book because I am still determined to read at least one of them this year but someone else beat me to it. This works perfectly for lazy me because now I can just sign up for Michelle @ Because Reading's meme instead! If you want to join all of the rules are here. I grabbed three random books from the top of the most embarrassing pile. So, what do you think I should read (or attempt to read) next? Let me know in the little poll down below. Also, please feel free to let me know if these are not worth reading! Remember this is the year of the DNF (at least for me!). Night Shift by Lilith Saintcrow 3.76 Rating @ Goodreads Jill Kismet.

Got My Eye On (3)

I saw a post over at  Mailbox Monday  that was encouraging readers to share their best finds of the week via their  Books That Caught Our Eye  posts. I love, love, love that idea so this is my warped version of it. Here are the books I've added to my wishlist with credit to my enablers :) Bob @  Beauty In Ruins   Spidermilk by Konrad Hartmann Eddie Stover, private eye, lives in a future where artificial humans called LifeMates serve consumers as a purchasable commodity. When Stover takes a wandering daughter case, the search for the missing woman plunges him into a world of hijacked LifeMates, psychedelic milk, and a bizarre spider-worshiping cult. As the thrall of his old addictions and the enticements of the woman he promised to protect threaten to consume him, Stover is faced with the realization that he cannot escape the choice love forces him to make. (M/F, F/F) ↞   I don't know where Bob finds these weird ass titles but I'm just thankful he does!
