The Effects of Her Nerium
The Effects of Her Nerium | Francheska D. Robles Diaz
8 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
A female serial killer like no other. A devastating sequence of events led Lilith Simmons to be a predator on the hunt. The disturbing crime scene’s left behind leave detectives and the media in disbelief. A string of murders with a horrific MO never seen, heard, or read of. But why? To what end?

JudeCC @bthegood 🥹🙏 thanks so much for taking the time to watch it and leaving us a comment. Love it! 😂🤣 Yup! I know. 🙌 if you want to watch the short (1:27 mins) making of video, so you see my creative process, click on this link and let me know what you think. 😃🙌 2y
JudeCC @bthegood If you want to see me create something, just leave me a suggestion. I tend to ask in social media. So far I have accepted 3 suggestions. My favorite so far is the ghost from Great Expectations/book 🙌 a challenge. Maybe a character from a book or something like that. I would love to create something you want to see. 😃👍❤️ 2y

Forgot to update y‘all on this but I just recently finished this book. The photo is blank with no rating because it‘s been brought to my attention that I had read an older unrevised version of it, so I‘m gonna hold off on rating until I‘ve read the revised one. However this is definitely a pick. If you like gory (like super super gory) feminist psychological horror with lesbian rep then I highly recommend this book. A great message against SA.

A TikTok still from a progress video that‘s still in my drafts 😂 This was my exact reaction to Ch 9 of The Effects of Her Nerium. Before this, I had never read something that has made me feel pain in my man parts plus pure joy and satisfaction all at once. This book isn‘t “hell no!” disturbing. It‘s “F#%K YEAH!” disturbing and I‘m here for it. 40% in. Let‘s see where we go from here

Book #46 An indie read: ✅ The Effects of Her Nerium by Francheska D. Robles-Diaz ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
New-to-me author.
She has a way of drawing you into the story & even though the content is full of gore & insanely twisted, you find yourself agreeing and rooting for the MC. How sick is that? I love it! Whoever manages to do this, knows how to engage the reader. Kudos! More ⬇

JudeCC WARNING/TRIGGERS 🔥
First of all, you should know this is not for everyone. It's meant for readers 18+. It's about a serial killer, so there's violence, strong language, gore, blood, descriptive torture scenes, mental & physical pain, rape, death and grief.

JudeCC The book starts with some action and the reader is left wondering what really happened. A great way to hook the reader. I really appreciate that the author took us back in time and fed us some needed backstory, in order to develop the characters. I enjoyed learning about them and loved that she took me away to the beautiful island of Puerto Rico with her descriptions and vivid atmosphere. I could see every colorful detail she described. More ⬇ 3y
JudeCC As the story moves forward, you‘re always wondering what‘s going on, which is great. But it's on chapter 9 where it starts getting intense. When you start seeing who Lilith is becoming. The author calls it becoming a monster in her description of the book. I, personally, would say pain is the culprit, the one capable of pushing you to the limit. It can turn anybody into a “monster“.

JudeCC That's exactly what happens to Lilith. In my eyes, she wasn't a monster. She had a thirst for revenge and twisted justice that within her circumstances and frustration somehow became plausible. The way the author bleeds her characters and puts the reader in their shoes makes us wonder and root for L Simmons, even when we know what she's doing is wrong and unacceptable. More ⬇ 3y
JudeCC Love and grief are two of the strongest emotions that can easily become overwhelming. Lilith is painfully entangled in such emotions from a young age, and as her circumstances change, her frustration grows, putting her mental health at stake. The metaphor/comparison the author provides to let the reader know Simmons is falling into some kind of madness, is great, (won't spoil it). More ⬇ 3y
JudeCC With time, Lilith gives in and stops fighting her demons and instead of dueling she takes those demons by the horns and delivers. And let me tell you, you'll be rooting for her. As I read I found myself screaming “YES!“ and even smirking at times. Not once I felt the need to put it down. I love when a book has that effect in me. A brutal and unexpected treat for sure! Lilith is one of those characters that will stay with me for a long time. More ⬇ 3y
JudeCC This is not just a gory book. It's an eye opener, and it has a purpose. At the end of the book, I was glad to find a list of resources for PTSD, mental health and such. I was also surprised by the information provided by state about missing people, evidence the author did her job, and she did it well.
If you enjoy gore, badass characters, and strong female heroines, this book is for you. It's definitely a wild ride you won't be able to put down.

JudeCC A big thank you to the author for sharing this book with the world and providing a platform where readers of every path of life can find unexpected catharsis and find healing if they make use of the great resources she provided.
Will definitely recommend 💯!
