Elizabeth King (7)

I want to start with the fact that this is a collection of short stories (roughly 12 pages each, give or take) that are only vaguely connected. Mentions of other characters are tossed around throughout the stories, giving it a sort of timeline, but each story can largely be read on its own. Each one also focuses on a certain kink, such as cock vore or transformation. If you don't prefer certain kinks, I recommend buying the individual stories in this series (available on their Amazon), show more rather than the full thing.

Liu is fun and interesting, though the characters feel like vessels of the surroundings/kink, rather than fully-fledged characters themselves. They are an object to be toyed with, which does fit the theme of Liu's villainy. The only characters that this is waived with are the officers trying to apprehend him. It's a nice change from the usual almost-facelessness of most other characters, though knowing their ultimate fate (this is a BAD END story series, after all), it seems rather unnecessary.

I enjoyed the willingness that King showed in writing the depraved, the author being descriptive and certainly not shy about anything. It reads as erotic, fun, and almost bubbly at times, with Liu's devious personality shining through each story. Though it becomes a little predictable, it's still fun to read.

My biggest criticism with this author's work-- at least, this one-- is the grammar. Words are completely missing from sentences, repeated, improper punctuation, and overall is very clearly unedited. If grammar is something that will drive you mad, skip this work. If you're more laid back, and don't mind the errors (none are so awful as to make the scene confusing), then by all means, pick this up. It's a delight.

I'd knock a star off if it hadn't been so fun to read, for the poor editing alone. I'm personally quite picky about it, but it just goes to show how much I enjoyed this despite the errors! show less
