Michael Dane’s HomoAmerican – The Secret Society is a painstakingly detailed autobiography equipped with dramatic flair and sense of humor. Dane’s voice carries a casual tone that welcomes the readers into various stages of his life. Dane does not waste even the tiniest bit of information and puts them all together to make his life story come alive on paper.
Breaking Sin is Emily Stormbrook’s attempt to explore her capabilities of writing dark fiction and it’s a good one. The plot is common and cliched, with two best friends developing something more than friendship, but the part where the dark erotica begins is well-written, typos aside. Stormbrook is able to define what BDSM is by showing the readers what it is not.
It is under the Erotica genre and it does a good job of heightening the readers’ senses. The best thing about it is it’s not only about the sex — there’s a bigger picture and a deeper story about love, forgiveness, and family waiting to be realized. […] There’s no chapter where Stormbrook slows down. She knows how to build up a scene and knows when to let go for a perfect and much-needed release.
Sam’s story-telling allures because while what he shares is factual, there is a sense of intrigue in hearing intimate matters about another person’s life. These matters, while not completely relatable, remind that everyone has their own piece of darkness, and that it is alright. There are things that are insignificant but, when told at the right place at the right time, sound scandalous. Austin has extensive knowledge of this timing and uses it well.
