Grotesque

GROTESQUE is a dual POV gothic horror romance catering to readers who enjoyed the gothic atmosphere of Dracula by Bram Stoker, the dark suspense of Noctricadia by Keri Lake, and the dangerous allure of Luc in of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V. E. Schwab. Her ruin will be his pleasure. Horror lover and all things spooky connoisseur Sorcha Grendel doesn't believe in ghost stories. Nor is she the superstitious type. But when she inherits Glamis Manor after the death of her estranged grandmother, all that starts to change once the sun sets. What starts off as strange hauntings turns salacious and deadly when a stranger knocks on her door bearing a gift. Is it true that a monster haunts the manor or is she going mad? Because if the monster is real, Sorcha will have to be strong enough to survive him. Or succumb to the wicked games he invites her to play.

Dark, creepy, monster romance. MMC completely infatuated with the FMC. FMC kept resisting but it's obvious that she is also. 😑Their entire relationship was based on sexual needs. The whole time, I was mostly irritated and bored.🫩 To top it off, there were no character and story developments.

Not no but hell no. Yikes on bikes. I would have DNFd at about 50% but this was a book club book and I wanted to be able to discuss all the awful 😂 Luckily everyone pretty unanimously hated this one. The premise had potential but this was terrible. It‘s been marketed as dark gothic romance but this is not romance nor did it really feel like horror. It was like a mish mash of tropes and hoping for the best. 😬 #HauntedShelf #GrimReaders ⬇️

MatchlessMarie @PuddleJumper Next ones we are doing are Girl Dinner and/or Dark Matter. We floated the idea of having a runner up book in case some of us want to read both or one or the other so we can have more conversations going. So far it‘s been a good group and a neat way to meet people. 2w

Reggie Ughhhh the “I read this bad book for bookclub” hits hard. Been there. Like quite a few times lol 2w
MatchlessMarie @Reggie 🤣 This is my first time being in an in person book club so I‘m not sure how they usually go but I like that we are able to give suggestions and then vote on what we ultimately end up reading. 2w
