Review: Every Part of You by Megan Hart

From Twitter @Megan_Hart

Whenever we have a opportunity to read a Megan Hart book, especially when it's before release day, we jump at the chance. So when we were offered the opportunity to read Ms. Hart's next project, an e-book serial being released in five parts, Zee and I were all over that. I had heard about e-book serials, but hadn't read any, so I thought this would be interesting. Turns out I don't follow directions very well, and my patience does not extend to reading good stories. 

Did I enjoy the story, despite my rule-breaking tendencies? Or did I find that breaking up the story impaired my enjoyment? Click through read my spoiler-free review and find out!



Tempts Me:

I don't think I'm cut out for serial reading, because I waited until I could get my hands on all five parts of this story to read it. It was an intriguing premise, and this first part hooked me enough to keep reading. We got a glimpse of how damaged Elliot is and how self-aware Simone is, so it was apparent there would be issues with these two developing a relationship. This part was certainly good enough to keep me reading...


Resists Me:

This part kept me reading until after midnight! Simone and Elliot's first interlude was so hot. Like, so hot I can't even form coherent thoughts about the rest of this section. Hawt. I feel so shallow, because usually I can discuss the characters and the plot and exactly why I loved or hated what I read. But with this section, all I can think about is how hot it was. Maybe if I try using a different word it won't sound so shallow. Simone and Elliot together are incredibly sexy, in spite of how hard he tries not to want to be with her. Ah, good, that's a little less shallow. Moving on to the next part...

Denies Me and Taunts Me:

Okay, I'll be honest, I couldn't be a good little reader/reviewer and read these one piece at a time. I'm far too impatient when it comes to books that have grabbed my attention. I read parts 3, 4, and 5 one right after the other, in less than a day, so I don't remember which plot points happened in which book. I know that I really enjoyed the overall story, so skip to part 5 where I'll discuss why.

Takes Me:

This was the first Megan Hart book I read that actually felt like erotica to me. Sure, there were some pretty serious issues that Elliot dealt with, and the communication problems the kept Simone and Elliot from committing to a relationship were real, serious problems, but there wasn't anything that rocked my world, ripped my heart out, and left me crying for days. Which is what many of her other books, also classified as erotica, have done to me, such as Broken and Dirty. This was a nice change of pace because, for the most part, it was a sexy read, a fun interlude, rather than a soul shredder. We all need that once in a while, and I really enjoyed this book/serial. 

Bottom Line:

I really enjoyed this story, although I read it as a single book, which makes me a cheater pants. As of the publishing of this review, you'll be able to purchase the first four installments and will have to wait about a week to pick up the last part. It's a great read, sexy and enjoyable, not nearly as heavy as some of Ms. Hart's other works, which is often exactly what the doctor ordered. I would absolutely read this again, and would definitely recommend it to a friend looking for a sexy read, with interesting characters.

A Tribute to The Fiery Cross

Or How I Learned to Stop, Smell the Pig Shite, and Fall in Love with the Fifth Book in Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander Series A young White Sow dreams of all the food she’ll be eating to grow into her role in this book As the wait for the new Outlander book and television series drags on (and oooooonnnnnnnnaaaarrrggghhh), many fans have been rereading the first seven books in the series. Fascinating online discussions abound as to the motivations of the characters, the nuances of meaning within various scenes, and future possibilities and foreshadowing. Amongst enthusiastic effusions about all things even remotely associated with our beloved series, I’ve seen one recurring subject of complaint. People like to pick on The Fiery Cross . “It’s too slow.” “It doesn’t have enough action.” “Where’s the mystery?” So during my recent reread, I set out to take a few notes about memorable moments. But I gave that up early on. There were far too many. Because the book was like a beautifu

A SUPER Spoilery Discussion of Feversong by Karen Marie Moning by: Zee the Terrible and Barbara Bones By Olga. It's now been two weeks since we got our hot little hands on Feversong , the final book in the Mac & Barrons part of Karen Marie Moning's Fever series. It's almost all we can talk about in the Saucy Wenches hallways (which is really online, but you get the drift) and we have lots of thoughts and opinions so we aren't putting off our Super Spoilery Recap Extravaganza any longer!  Zee told you about how much she loved it in her Wench review, here , and it will surprise exactly no one that Barb did, too. Loved it to pieces. Thought it was pretty much perfect, exactly the kind of conclusion KMM has been promising us since she gave us Iced , leaving everyone precisely where they need to be. That said, we have lots and lots and LOTS of thoughts. So come with us through the jump where we're dishing all the dirt, in filthy, spoilery detail. We menti

Dani Mega O'Malley: Superstar

By -

Giddy with anticipation for the release of Karen Marie Moning's Iced , a lot of the Wenches have been thinking about Dani "Mega" O'Malley, the young sidhe -seer we first met in Bloodfever , who is poised to step out of the shadows behind Mac and Rowena and take center stage. Though Moning has recently said the three books she is writing for Dani will continue the story we've been following in the Fever books, the POV will shift to reveal the next chapters through Dani's eyes. With our heads firmly buried in Shadowfever in a frenzied effort to finish our rereads before the new release, we Wenches have been wondering what's in store for Dani. But no one has wanted to stop reading long enough to write a proper tribute to our young heroine as she prepares to take the leap to leading lady. Though we all think she's pretty awesome and deserves a big ticker-tape parade to show our support. So a sneaky Wench tried the stealth approach and asked us

Review: Annihilation (Book and Movie)

When I read Annihilation last fall, I was intrigued, repulsed, mystified, enchanted, horrified, compelled, absorbed, and ultimately so unable to articulate what had happened that I didn’t attempt a review. But it has never stopped growing on me, new insights twining around in my brain. It’s insidious. Then the movie happened. I. Had. To. Go. I didn’t think anyone could film the book, and I was on Cloud 9 when I saw the abundance of rave critical reviews. It got compared to Apocalypse Now and 2001: A Space Odyssey ! It got called “stunning” and the “Best Sci-Fi Film in Years” that “ranks among great philosophical sci-fi”! And though there were many differences from the book, it sounded almost as batshitcrazybrilliant as the book!! Which means there are now two equally haunting versions of this story for me to wonder WTF happened. I might not have all the answers, but I’ve certainly enjoyed replaying scenes in my mind and pondering the possibilities. And I suspect that’s
