The trick with Call the Coroner is to take your time reading it and take little pauses when you find yourself bored. Can’t believe I waited to read it this bloody long! Since ever I dropped in the middle of the most awesome reader group (MM romance), I’ve been getting dozens recommendations for Call the Coroner.
Thanks to all my friends for recommending this book. With Call the Coroner Avril Ashton managed to bring to paper one of my deepest, darkest and most perverted literary fantasies **clap clap clap**. Oy, why no Syren Rua books? I need a Syren Rua book and I need it now! Avril! Pleeeeeeeease! I didn't think there was anyway these 2 could have gone from point A to anything resembling love but they did And I believed it. Once things really started to heat up it also put me in a constant state of. This book gave me all the thrills, chills and feelz. and everyone's golden child Him by Sarina Bowen and Elle KennedyĬall the Coroner was let into this Top tier in a ceremony held earlier this evening. The rare breed that get to reside within its hallowed halls include I am of course talking about my M/M Hall of Fame. It is spoken of only in whispers and in prayers and in the gayest penthouse letters to Santa.
It is populated by dangerously hot men who feel things more deeply and look so much better naked than the men of our mortal plane. There is a fantastical place that exists in my soul, my godforsaken mother f-ing is a little bit Oz, a little bit Mount Olympia, a little bit country and a little bit rock and roll with a dash of Sunnydale thrown in because Sunnydale rocks. It would be a stretch either way, but some attempt could’ve been made to make it all more believable. Also, the plot structure could be a little smoother at about 30% I had the feeling I was reading two separate books instead of one when the plot did a complete 180, from torture to loving touches. It was fucking weird and disrupted my reading experience. It went like this: subject - comma - rest of the sentence. I have a bit of an unrepentant grammar Nazi in me, and there was this weird sentence structure that popped up A LOT when the author wanted to put an emphasis on something. Something about the writing kept bothering me.
What that says about me - I don’t wanna know… Didn’t shake me quite as much as I’d like. It was a lot less brutal than I’d been expecting after reading the blurb, though. It wasn’t an especially ambitious book, but hey, no shaming, we all read those as well. I liked it more than my usual 3 star reads, but less than 4. (although it seems the author doesn’t believe in the refractory period…) Hot as fuck sex scenes with through-the-roof chemistry? Check, check, check. Engaging plot with some unpredictable twists? Check.
