![]() ![]() ![]() This is a dark, complicated, reverse harem romance that has some very questionable moments. And while I did really enjoy it, this book is not for everyone. Like I said I haven’t read many dark romances before, but I wanted to give this one a go. I saw it floating around the bookish community, especially the romance community and it caught my eye. I didn’t know what to expect when I picked Den of Vipers up. The Vipers? I’m going to make them regret the day they took me. They can own my body, but they will never have my heart. They want everything I am, everything I have to give, and won’t stop until they get just that. Their scarred, blood-stained hands holding me tight. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy.

I don't think in these terms too often, but it does seem like there's such a thing as national novels. Beloved did that! It worked as horror! And then also, even more, it worked as great American literature. ![]() To me, great horror has the scary element (e.g., a ghost) and then, lurking behind it, something so vast and evil that trying to think about it can make you go insane. Sorry Stephen King: evil clowns and alcoholic would-be writers are pretty creepy, but they just got nothing on the terrifying specter of American slavery! I literally got chills - physical chills - over and over while reading this book. ![]() Beloved is the Great American Horror Novel. ![]() |
