Trick And Treat by Madison Faye
My rating: 1 of 5 stars
It’s a very long story how I stumbled across Trick and Treat on Amazon, but my curiosity won over, seeing how it promised to be centred around Halloween, my favourite holiday.
I am relatively new to this genre and I understand that it is more heavily influenced by a person’s tastes and preferences than any other genre, because it deals with such a personal/intimate subject matter. I have to say, though, that this particular story of this particular genre was not my cup of tea.
I found the author had a set vocabulary typical for erotica that she kept repeating over and over to firmly establish the point of the story’s naughtiness. There are only so many times I can read about the character’s c… and how he wants to f… before the thrill of it is gone.
I appreciated the author’s trigger warning at the beginning of the story due to certain scenes and topics.
Obviously, this is a work of pure fiction and fantasy and as such I can see the author’s intentions of affording the male characters a sense of feral nature to aid in the creation of strong, rough and animalistic sexual partners. Sadly, it was done to excess and reading over and over again how one or the other male character “growls” gets a bit annoying when reading an entire book. On the other hand, the actual juicy scenes didn’t feel quite fleshed out. In a way some things were described in detail and other were only glossed over.
Overall, I had hoped for a bit more story surrounding the driving force of this book; maybe a bit more of a Halloween atmosphere would have been nice. I have to give it a pass.
