BLOG TOUR REVIEW
Review for 'After Midnight' by Mia Ryder.
Read and reviewed for ZooLoos Book Tours, Mia Ryder and SpellBound publishers.
Publication date 24th December 2021.
This is the third book I have read by this author. It is also the third book in Mia Ryder's 'Sex, Die, Repeat' series but can be read as a standalone. I have also read the first book in this series 'Little Deaths' and second book 'Re-education' which I would recommend.
I was originally drawn to this book by its eye catching cover and intriguing synopsis and title. I must admit I was also biased due to the publisher being Spellbound. I have yet to read a book published by Spellbound books that I haven't enjoyed. Hopefully this won't be the first... Watch this space! (Written before I started reading the book).
This is a novella so can be read in one sitting.
This book is written in third person perspective and the main protagonist is Nick. The benefits of third person perspective are that it let's you see the bigger picture of what's going on and you get to know more characters more, what they are thinking and what they are doing. It feels like you get to see the whole picture and not miss out in anything.
'Re-education' discusses some topics that may trigger some readers or may not be suitable for others. I like to point this out ahead of time in my reviews so you can judge if this book is for you or not. In this book Mia discusses/includes highly sexual content, as well as depictions of strangulation, stabbing, bondage and dubious consent so would advise readers of the age of 18 and above only.
This book is the third book in the 'Sex, Die, Repeat' series by Mia Ryder but it can be read as a standalone. In this book we see the sex demon Nick fall from his boss Abe's good books and he has been sent on a mission to seduce the murderess Raquel, who murders men during sex, and obtain her eternal soul for Hell. Nick is told by his boss Abe that if he fails he will not be sent to Level One as Nick expects but will be wiped from all existence. In this book Hell has Three levels. When you first enter you are put into Level One where you are tortured and killed continuously. Most never leave this level. The few who do then go onto Level Two and become demons, in Kali and Nick's case sex demons. Level Three is for The Prince Of Darkness himself along with his wife and the Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse. This story tells us how Nick meets Raquel on several occasions and tries to seduce her. It is a supernatural horror filled with sex, torture and demons. It is very well written and the storyline isn't just about sex but is actually very intriguing and sounds just like what Hell would be. The author has a fantastic and vivid imagination and this is reflected perfectly in the storyline. It is only 27 pages so can be read in less than an hour and perfect for an adults only bedtime story. The three books in this series have definitely left me wanting more and I cannot wait to dive into the fourth book in the series 'Downtime' that looks just as intriguing.
Overall a gothic sex filled horror filled with torture and pleasure that will leave you wanting more!
Genres covered in this book include Novella, Romance, Gothic, Adult Fiction and Erotica amongst others.
I would recommend this book to the fans of the above as well as fans of anyone who loves gothic horror and is always left wanting more.
27 pages.
This book is just 78p to purchase on kindle via Amazon which I think is an absolute bargain for this book!!!
Rated 4 /5 (I enjoyed it ) on Goodreads, Instagram, Amazon UK and Amazon US and on over 30 Facebook pages plus my blog on Facebook.
