Sour: “Giggly,” tells of a deranged serial killer on the loose, who has a special affinity for a unique—and heinous—weapon.
Spicy: In "Rewards," Brad and Ty are thrilled by the completely unexpected sexual games their girlfriends Oaklyn and Isla want to play...until things go much too far.
Dive into this macabre literary buffet from Bridgett Nelson! It’s sure to satisfy every craving…
Review:
"I have some new friends I'd like you to meet."
A fantastic collection of short stories that will have you feeling all the emotions!
"Sweet"~ Softening you up...A vengeful, haunting ghost appearing from the realms of the dark. She is out for revenge from a past of unsettling occurrences. When she threatens a family, their sweet little pug protects them with all of his might. (I may have teared up a little!)
"Sour"~ Brace yourself...A serial killer with a heinous desire for extracting a womanly body part. (This one had me squeezing my legs tightly together!) Brutal and exciting read with a surprise ending.
"Spicy"~ Now some sex you can enjoy! (At first...) Two girls. Two guys. A weekend getaway with expectations of lots of sex and summer fun in the sun, but the girls have some very unexpected plans for their boys. These girls mean business and their boys will suffer through their darkest desires. ( Erotic and savage!) If you're not blushing, you'll be cringing!
From "oh so sweet to holy shit" these three short stories are super entertaining and darkly disturbing!
Sweet, vile, disturbing, and bloody disgusting. A book of horrific delights!
Bonus: Striking cover, wonderful illustrations, great formatting, and the included story notes.
