Fanfiction Friday - Dark Story Writing Challenge for Me

 

One thing about Twilight Fanfiction was it was never dull - I was know as the cupcake  because  I wrote and read mostly fluff (all happy stories) A dark story author challenged me to write a dark one -shot and she would write a fluff one -shot!  

I accepted of course!

Here were my rules

1. It has to be 3,000 words (it's not)

2. NO FLUFF OF ANY KIND - *sighs*

3. Edward must kill Bella -*cries*

4. All smut must be hardcore. *nods*

BE ADVISED if you choose to Read The Monster Within - it's dark, maybe disturbing to some, and very sexual in nature

The Monster Within

Summary: The kiss between Bella and Jake before the newborn fight pushes Edward over the edge. What happens when a tightly wound vampire...snaps. Everything that once was is no longer. DARK!

Media Mania Monday! Women Down by Collen Hoover

 

Women Down By Collen Hoover 

I got this book on Audible.

I love listening to books and podcast when in the car or in my kitchen!

Her words used to set the page on fire. But a viral backlash over her latest film adaptation forced Petra Rose to take a hiatus, resulting in missed deadlines and an overdue mortgage. Branded a fraud and fame-hungry opportunist, she learned the hard way what happens when the internet turns on you. And she’s been uninspired to write ever since.

Now, with her next suspense novel outlined and savings nearly gone, she retreats to a secluded lakeside cabin, hoping to find inspiration. It’s Petra’s last-ditch attempt to save her career—and herself.

Then he shows up.

Detective Nathaniel Saint arrives with disturbing news, his presence igniting a creativity in her she thought long since burned out. Petra’s words return in a rush, and her fictional cop character begins to mirror the very real cop who’s becoming her muse.

Their “research” sessions blur the lines between fantasy and reality. Each glance, every touch pulls Petra deeper into a world she thought she’d never lose herself in again. She’s never felt more alive. But inspiration this powerful comes at a cost.

When Saint starts taking his role in her career a little too seriously, Petra’s forced to confront the chaos she created. But doing so could cost her more than the reputation she’s been trying to salvage. The reputation the world wrote for her—the reputation only she can reclaim.

My Two Cents!

As good as the audio version was (mainly because the voice of the book was amazing)  I wish I would of read it, I believe the experience would of been more intense.

This book was beautifully written with lots of fun times, sexy times, intense and scary times.

I love a book about an author and the struggles of writers block and how reader feedback effects you.

Did not see the ending coming at first but I did suspect the outcome.

In two words - intense and sexy!

I LOVED it and give it 5 out of 5 drinks!
