Book 93📚 4⭐️

Whoa 😳

I don‘t think I‘ll ever forget those eggs🥚

Part 2.
She may be a princess at Disneyland but let's be real at the end of the day, she's got acting and Hollywood in her blood.Just because she works at the happiest place on earth does NOT mean she's nice girl. Actually it's probably safest if you don't meet her in person at all. Instead you should probably just read about her through C.J. Leede‘s new novel Maeve Fly. Trust me, she's gonna be someone soon just you wait, I'm always right!

Part one
Let me introduce you all to a new friend of mine, Maeve Fly. But before you meet her you need to know a few things. For one, she's a wolf in sheep's clothing. So beware, she does bite and it's way worse than her bark.

“I love Halloween because all the time, everyone wears masks. But one night a year, they do it openly. The dark and forbidden things they wish to be but deny themselves, on Halloween they don‘t. On Halloween, they embrace it, all of it. The hidden parts of the world are exposed, if only for one night. And those things that are truly dark are a little less alone.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Maeve Fly: a demented Disney princess, a howling wolf filled with rage. The audiobook narrator injected even more personality into this character. Taking place leading up to Halloween, it‘s a solid horror pick for this time of year. It‘s certainly not for the faint of heart, but it‘s a great, dark antidote to boredom over the same old story. What does it say about me that the ending absolutely ripped my heart out? 🎧

Audaciously dark and twisted! It caught me by surprise that I felt so much for the MC at the end. Allllllll the trigger warnings.

*nervous laughter*

WTF 👀

I was initially dubious about this being tagged extreme horror - but we definitely got there.

Recommend reading the trigger warnings. The descriptions are visceral.

This is another one I loved but can‘t really recommend to almost anyone. This one is graphic with body horror, sexual content, fetish acts and torture.

If there's a trigger, it's in this book. This is hands down one of the most grotesque, completely insane books that I've ever read.

And yet, I devoured it because I had to see just how far the author was going to push the narrative into unsettling territory.

I had to watch some Disney cartoons after finishing this one just to clear my head. 🤣

This is extreme horror. It is memorable, incomparable, and even twistedly tragic. I liked it, but I would never recommend it to anyone. There were parts of the book that almost made me stop reading it altogether. They were that depraved. But I liked a female villain with such agency and audacity, and she was a fan of all of my favorite books..

Trigger warning if you're a decent human being.

Stuck in a mundane life of boredom and working as a L. A. theme park character princess, Maeve Fly lives with her ailing grandmother, a former actress, and engages in the Hollywood partying lifestyle. A chance meeting with an eccentric young man awakens her inner psychopath inspiring her serial killer tendencies in this gory, feminist horror.

Hhhmmm… I love horror, I love Los Angeles, I love Halloween, I love Patrick Bateman… and this Novel was heavy on all those things, but Maeve Fly was pretty forgettable in a lot of ways. It was too much of an American Psycho copy, but not nearly as cool. I‘m still glad I read it, but def not my favorite.

Starting this one too!!! I‘m excited since it‘s been on my TBR for a while 😊

“where is the savagery in women?”

3¾⭐
Maeve Fly is on some other shit…like on another level, other shit. I will say that I found it difficult to believe she could enjoy her job as a princess at “the happiest place on earth” and be this f*cking messed up. She was dark…like deep down dark in her soul.

Most of what I put in the bullet points (except the last one) is from an interview where she explains what her book is about. I'll leave the link in the comments.

Maeve Fly by CJ Leede is a horrifically bloody, sinisterly sexual, and darkly unhinged tale set in Los Angeles.

My goodness, this tale was something! I kept seeing it related to American Psycho, but with a female lead, and I can certainly see that!

Fans of darkly erotic horror, this will definitely please you!

A voice that hooked me from the first page. Dark, gritty, wonderful. Maeve Fly is all at once horrifying, disgusting, captivating, heartbreaking, and, ultimately, simply exquisite. I can‘t wait to read more from CJ Leede.

“You do not need a moral and noble story to do what you want. You do not need to be a victim to become a monster. Your loved ones need not be taken from you so that you might drink and brutalize and chase the sublime. Life is fleeting and meaningless and crying to be seized from behind and fucked into obscurity.”

Feel like Halloween can‘t come fast enough? Maeve Fly, the titular character & narrator here shares that feeling. With a Halloween playlist always at hand, sickeningly sweet cocktails & an inner darkness only thinly veiled, this makes for a fast & entertainingly bloody read. Maeve works at a certain famous park, but really has a hard time of letting go of her best friend or her ailing grandmother. As changes come, all of her restraints fall free!

🎧 HOLY COW

I don‘t know how to describe this.

Horror porn? Horror & Porn?

Dislikable, depraved, sadistic, female MC.

Like serial killer stories? Sexual torture? Body horror? A character study of the Hollywood crowd. Yeahp

A lot of horrific moments & the MC isn‘t the best representation of positive mental health.

Unique. Shock factor might be a little excessive? Gratuitous, maybe but it gets the point across.

Good ending.
