Review
I am a very visual person. The covers of books and the teasers are what really grab my eye. If they are done well, I tend to purchase the book without really knowing much about it. Confession: that was the case with Deviant by Callie Hart.
The other night, in the middle of the morning as I was putting my daughter BACK to bed, I happened upon a super hot teaser for this book. It looked right up my alley. I thought to myself “Huh, well why haven’t I seen this before? It comes out in a few days…” So I immediately went to Callie’s Facebook page. I could instantly tell that she was a newbie to this scene! Only a few hundred likes and not the usual bombardment of promotional everything that I’m used to seeing. I got a really good vibe from what I saw and just knew that this was going to be a good one. Damn, I love it when I’m right!
Deviant is the story of Zeth and Sloane. Zeth is a bit of a wildcard. An asshat who likes to play dirty, both in life and in the dark. Sloane is an innocent who has been thrust into, probably her second worst nightmare, her sister has been taken. Through a complex series of events, these two meet and Sloane has to decide if she wants to take a walk on the wild side, literally, to hopefully find her sister.
This is a novella, which I actually loved! It was nice to sit down during an extended lunch and read a story that had you gripped from the first page! And let me tell you, the ending will knock your socks off! It is DAMN hot!!!
Sloane and Zeth fight against each other which only makes it extremely hot when they finally succumb to their feelings. I loved how the past was interspersed with the present. I loved how easy it was to read, and how enjoyable. I loved how it may appear as though it is something that you have read before, and yet it is still fresh and HOT.
The senses were used beautifully in this story you could almost smell and hear exactly what Sloane was. To me, that is an added element to reading this genre that sets the story above others. If you can see, hear, smell and taste what is described, hmmm…poetry on paper.
I cannot wait for more of Zeth and Sloane! This is a MUST read new series. The elements of danger, lust and obedience have me reeling for more!
5 HUGE, Smacking SMOOCHES!!!!!
