Seven Shades of Shit Book Review with Caitlyn Lynch: Chapter 4
Hello everybody, and welcome to the book review of Chapter 4 of Seven Brothers of Sin by Cassandra Dee.  I will be attempting to do this sober tonight because alcohol makes it harder for me to wake up in the morning.
Here is a link to the masterpost which the wonderful @caitlynlynch is updating.
Don’t forget to check out her review!  It will be linked here!
In this chapter, we are back to seeing things from Macy’s POV.  If I know Cassandra Dee, we are in for a ton of creamy bouncing tits that are sure to drive the alphas so wild that poor Macy won’t be able to math on how she can take seven dicks at one time because you know it’s like saying it’s going to rain in Seattle.
Let’s get started shall we?
Tumblr media
Welp, I lasted for as long as I could.  Excuse me for a moment…
Tumblr media
This is my own little cocktail mix: 4 red wine ice cubes, 4 regular ice cubes, a few splashes of Peach Schnapps and Sweet Revenge (strawberry whiskey), and fill to the brim with apple juice.  It’s strong and delicious!  Enjoy!
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming:
Tumblr media
Honey, I was reading Harry Potter smut when I was a teenager.  I knew plenty of bookworms in college that were getting their freak on as well.  You can be a bookworm and like sex.  “More than half of the week”?  Was there a time jump I’m unaware of?  Nipple sucking isn’t sex.  It’s foreplay.  “Blasting everything in sight” is not a good mental image for me.  Curse you, ADHD!  And, I assure you that the last thing parents would do is a voodoo ritual to give their sons large penises!  Also, saying that voodoo was used to give them large penises is so disrespectful to the religion belonging to people of color, especially since Louisiana Voodoo was brought over by slaves!
Tumblr media
Roll credits! Wait, shit!  Wrong medium.  This isn’t CinemaSins.
Tumblr media
Soft bulbs?  Floral or light?  And we have our first “cream” mention!
Tumblr media
I swear on a cracker, this bitch needs to stop calling her parents by their first names.  Had my black ass ever done that, I would have received the ass-whooping of a lifetime.  Also, Macy, your parents have lives that don’t revolve around you!  They’re adults, just like you, and they have lives outside of their relationship with you, just like you have a life away from them.  Don’t be stingy.
Tumblr media
Honest to god, this part reads like a taboo erotica story.  Like this is pretty much a trope in taboo erotica.  Young daughter gets caught with men while her parents watch…please tell me this author doesn’t have any PI (pseudo-incest) stories because I will not stand for it.
Tumblr media
So Macy hears a noise outside, and looks out the window to see the fifth brother working on a motorcycle in his parents’ driveway.
Side note:  Want to know a fun fact about the origins of Adonis? Adonis is a Greek myth.  There was this princess who was in love with her father, and she was going to kill herself or something because she knew it was wrong.  Her maid talked her out of it and came up with a plan.  While the queen was away, the maid disguised the princess and brought the king in to a bedroom to sleep with her.  It happened a few times, and one time the disguise fell off or something, and the king realized that he had been fucking his own daughter.  He got pissed off and chased her and threatened to kill her.  She ran from him for ages while her father’s baby grew in her womb.  I think a god turned her into a tree or something and then a boar struck it with its tusk, and out came Adonis, the most handsome man in the world!
Back to the story: I straight up giggled when I read “pussy juices”.
Tumblr media
I cut out the gorier parts of description, but Adonis hurts himself.  I don’t know why she’s still turned on when dude is literally bleeding in front of her.  For comparison, one time I was watching porn and writing erotica when my dad called to vent about something.  I took the call, provided good advice, and went back to writing.  As you can guess, my arousal went away the moment my brain needed to switch gears.  I can also read smut at work and not get turned on.  I’m sure this girl can switch mental gears too.
I do have one question: What in the everloving fuck is a hillbilly symphony?
Tumblr media
Where to even begin? Steam does not come from skin. His body would have to be running a fatal fever in order for that to happen.  Is dude trying to cop a feel while he’s bleeding?  Okay, I’m not a medical professional, but the last thing a bleeding wound needs is for the heart to start pumping faster.  Pussies do not gush, and no one can say “can he smell the wet pussy scent” with a straight face.  I tried and failed miserably.
Tumblr media
Oh, what a coincidence! Rapeydee and Rapeydum show up with the Rapeytwins to join Rapeycar in the bathroom with Macy!
Tumblr media
The summer I turned 18, I was a chubby, shy, nerd-girl who liked to cook, and I easily had three men willing to mess around with me in my car.  It really ain’t that hard, honey.  Especially when you find men who only like to think with their dicks.
Tumblr media
I don’t know how her nipples are pointing straight at four men because I’m fairly certain nipples don’t point towards the object they desire.
Vaginal fluids do not seep down thighs without physical stimulation.  I would know.  They will dampen your panties a lot, but not enough to have it drip down your thigh without some touching.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I will forever hate Cassandra Dee for making me Google “rape whistle gif”.
Seriously, fuck you.
Tumblr media
Macy gets blood on her, and this happens…can I just say “roll credits” for the harem mention?  Because I feel like I’m going to need a rape notification gif pretty soon.
Tumblr media
I must be having an invisible mental breakdown because I don’t have it in me to critique this part. Maybe I’ll just ding it for the tits mention at the end.
Wait, the arousal connecting from her hole to panties is impossible!  Unless she has her labia spread wide open so that her vagina entrance was touching her panties, it should be her labia connecting the strand to the panties.
Tumblr media
Okay, I’m going to get technical again.  If she’s really trying to show them her pussy, she’d have to be on the floor with her legs spread wide open.  Do you know how hard it is to look at a vagina when you’re standing?  It’s hard, and these men are much taller than her. I have to bend over just to look at mine.  And the vaginal entrance is near the bottom, so she’d have to be doing that Matrix back bendy move to show them her winking hole.
Tumblr media
I would have taken off 100 sins if she accidentally just shat in front of them and they ran away screaming in terror…wait, this isn’t CinemaSins, fuck!
Well, like CinemaSins, I’m a nitpicky asshole, unlike Macy’s, so here is that telegraphed anus wink message in Morse Code:  .. / .– .- -. - / -.– — ..- .-.-.- / .- .-.. .-.. / — ..-. / -.– — ..- .-.-.- / -.-. — – . / –. . - / – . .-.-.- / .–. ..- - / .. - / .. -. .-.-.-
Her butthole would have had to do all of this.  It would have taken at least five minutes to get the entire message across.
Tumblr media
Clits don’t stand straight up.  Pummeling boobies aka how I get mine to behave when I put on my bra.  Not sure they can look up her ass and pussy at the same time, but who the fuck cares anymore?
Tumblr media
At least Macy knows proper hygiene etiquette.  She’s cleaning her pussy and ass before the men mostly likely eat them.  If the men are behind her, how is her ejaculation hitting the shower walls?  Also fun fact, female ejaculation is part pee.
Tumblr media
I’m pretty numb right now, but squishy slaps did make me chuckle.
Tumblr media
I think I’ll let this gif speak for me:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jesus almighty fucking Christ, do I really need to explain that porn is fake, and that they have toothbrushes, showers, and a whole bunch of hygiene shit available to the actors?  Or that even DIY porn creators probably do all that shit before filming?  Shit, hehe, I accidentally made a pun.
And the nightmare that is Chapter 4 is over!
I think there was one “cream”, two “creaming”, and two “alpha” mentions.
By the way, my drink tasted like Capri Sun!  So yummy!

7 Simple Ways making a Great Tale Great
Tumblr media
Whenever I think about words gatekeeper, a little movie clip from The Wizard of Oz starts up in my head, where the fearful royal residence guard rejects Dorothy and friends accessibility to the Wizard. "The Wizard claims, 'Go away!'".
If striving authors are Dorothy, agents and editors are that person. They appear larger compared to you. They provide strict talks.
Other than remember what takes place? Dorothy's sob tale thaws the mustachioed, bearskin-hatted guard's heart, and also he winds up allowing them in.
Thus the excellent secret is exposed: You do not have to do anything but inform a fabulous tale to earn them like you.
There are subtle differences in between fiction that's passable and also fiction that pops-- fiction that reveals that you know just what you're doing. Think about agents as well as editors your über-readers. If you win them over, a bigger audience won't be far behind.
Below are seven means successful authors make their stories snap with authority and also get the gatekeepers on their side. These strategies will certainly work on any type of kind of fiction: literary, love, secret, sci-fi, you name it. What's even more, you can execute them regardless of where you are in your composing process, from initial draft to last gloss.
1. Surpass the five senses.
A lot of writers know sufficient to put in sensations beyond sight and sound. It's constantly fantastic to review a character that keeps in mind of the warm metal-and-oil aroma that sticks around over the rails after a quick train has passed, or the weight of a brand-new tweed coat on his shoulders.
Representatives and also editors enjoy the 5 senses, however they want as well as anticipate much more. They desire physical service that grows not simply your setting, but your characterizations.
Below's the secret: The most effective authors use body language in their narratives. Odd thing is, I have never ever once heard an agent or editor discuss my (or any kind of author's) use of body movement, and I think that's due to the fact that it goes by so smoothly it's nearly unnoticed. Yet it definitely gives texture and also deepness to your work. When it's missing out on, fiction really feels level.
Begin by checking out body language. You'll locate that 2 things are at the origin of all of it: anxiety (or lack thereof) and also concealed desires. Dwell inside your characters and feeling exactly how they really feel in any type of offered scenario.
Consider this:.
Brian paused and lit a cigarette. He breathed out a stream of smoke at the window. That doesn't tell anything regarding the character or his state of mind. If Brian needs a cigarette, make use of the moment fully:.
Brian stopped briefly and lit a cigarette. He held it near to his body, as if he really did not wish to use up way too much area. He exhaled a stream of smoke at the window, staying clear of Anne-Marie's eyes.
We discover something concerning exactly what's going on with Brian right here, without having to rake with an interior talk from him or Anne-Marie.
2. Embrace affectations.
Individuals act rationally only component of the time; the rest of the time we take stupid threats and do other things we can not explain.
Agents and editors understand this in addition to anyone, yet because they do not want visitors to need to work too hard to put on hold disbelief, they actually harp on credibility. When they do, regularly their arguments involve a personality's inspiration. (I must include that you could pick apart any masterwork on that basis: "I really don't believe Ophelia would certainly eliminate herself in this scenario. I indicate, don't you think self-destruction is means outrageous? Far more plausible to have her develop an eating condition, wouldn't you concur?") The trouble is, if you bow to this and also have your personalities act entirely rationally in any way times, you'll compose dead-boring fiction.
Below's the trick: Human quirkiness follows patterns we could all relate to (or a minimum of comprehend).
One of the most significant is that love-- or sex, at least-- makes people unreasonable. We toss over the picture-perfect millionaire for the rough-around-the-edges dirt cyclist with financial debt; we lie to our faithful partner on the phone while bonking the secretary in a motel. Which goes to show that if you integrate a strong adequate inspiring factor-- even an illogical one-- you could conveniently develop a plausible factor for unpredictable actions on the part of your characters. As well as those personalities are much more intriguing to read about than those that constantly behave reasonably.
Similarly, any type of number of excellent plot transforms can result when you offer a character an obsession-- arbitrary or otherwise-- or an affectation that could function as a thread with the story.
For example, a person that is stressed could become single-mindedly so, causing dreadful mistakes in judgment. Control freaks turn arrogant and come to be susceptible to fatal decisions:.
" Aw, Captain, let's simply go back to port. We've lost half the team already.". " Shut the hell up! I can't allow that white whale win!".
It complies with that a stressed personality needs to either locate elegance (or be required to it), or decline development and stick with their crippled, acquainted life to the end. Regardless, it's engaging storytelling.
To embrace this side of humanity in your fiction, you need not graduate in psychology. Actually, a little capriciousness here can be valuable.
Make a decision which of your personalities is the weakest-- which one isn't really functioning well. Which one are you type of preventing handling?
Currently, brainstorm the "- istics" of that character. Let's say he is informal concerning dedications. OKAY: What happens if he unconditionally will disappoint up anywhere on schedule?
Automatically, this character comes to be more intriguing, and also instantly we really feel a little ignition of uh-oh: Just what's mosting likely to occur when unexpectedly a great deal is riding on him being somewhere in a timely manner-- say, for a last chance, or a beginning weapon? This kind of characterization does 2 things: It makes a character more powerful as a significant tool, as well as it makes him much more unforgettable.
A personality's weirdness could maintain your visitors thinking right along; it can keep them obliged, as they try to recognize and also rotate theories. Or they might not even observe-- but they will obtain a sensation that for some hard-to-pinpoint reason, this personality simply appears authentic.
3. Forget being quite.
Representatives and editors can't stand authors that place restrictions on their help the purpose of delicacy.
A couple of years ago I was teaching a workshop as well as trying to make clear the concept of composing freely (without any thought of whether you like the result).
An individual spoke out: "I as soon as had an art instructor state, 'If it really did not need to be pretty, just what would you attract?' ".
I almost reeled from the force of the genius of that inquiry. (Thank you, confidential writer and also unknown art teacher!) Every person in the space instantly made the translation: "If it really did not need to be rather, what would you write?".
Right here's the key: Not-pretty has 2 significances here: a) topics that are not appealing, like racism or incest, and b) the way you write.
Most people shy away from darkness, however as an author you must want to dwell there, see it genuinely, explore it before you represent it.
I type of hate to state this, however I suggest going back to your childhood years-- the primitive times before we truly recognized right from incorrect, and also prior to we were strong enough to safeguard ourselves from wickedness. Feel the worry that surged with your body when you saw the community bully coming. Feel the immoral drunkenness of damageding something out of spite.
When it comes to liberating your writing, do the very same point. When you were a youngster, you did everything with practically complete abandon. Call that spirit as you place pen to paper or fingers to key-board. Banish all restriction!
4. Cling your IQ.
When I worked for a huge bookseller, we ran surveys that showed our core clients to be well informed as well as relatively affluent. This was not shocking: Educated individuals have the tendency to such as publications, as well as their earnings has the tendency to enable them to buy books.
Still, striving writers in some cases dumb down their work because they hesitate of alienating the vast masses of prospective clients they picture they ought to be composing for. This is dreadful. You could not do it. And you don't need to-- the average Joes and also Janes are smarter than you might assume.
Right here's the trick: Don't underestimate your readers. If they prefer to check out the kind of publications you want to create, they're right up there with your core demographic. And also dumbing down your work can be doubly devastating, since if you do, representatives and editors will not be able to associate with it.
First, cost-free your vocabulary while likewise keeping it in check. If abhorrent is the ideal word, do not transform it to yucky. And when hillside is the appropriate word, don't transform it to acclivity just to show off.
Second, withstand the urge to overexplain, specifically when portraying action series as well as personalities' ideas.
Edwina quit revving the accelerator. The car rocked back right into the sand. She looked up at the thick spruce boughs that hung right into the road. She went out as well as claimed, "Assist me pull a few of these down.".
We do not need to be informed what went through Edwina's mind; we can guesswork simply great. Representatives as well as editors will acknowledge a straightforward, unstilted voice, as well as they will respond to it. As will your future readers.
5. Utilize your best material just when it has a purpose.
Agents and editors have a second sight when it involves kitchen-sink stories. You know what I'm discussing: books which contain a fictionalized variation of every cool, uncommon or incredible thing that ever happened to the writer.
I as soon as read a novel manuscript at the persistence of a pal that recognized the writer. In it, a male walking quits to talk to a guy on horseback who is using a real-time serpent around his midsection like a belt. The occurrence was vivid however had no bearing on the story, as well as I thought that the only reason it existed was that the writer had when met a man on horseback who put on a serpent around his waist like a belt. A laid-back query confirmed me right.
An isolated cool-yet-irrelevant scene recommends the writer's immaturity as an artist, and will certainly be kept in mind by representatives as well as editors.
Here's the secret: Place your ideal product in, yet leave the kitchen sink in the cooking area. When attracted to throw in something awesome that the story does not truly require, proceed and compose it, however throughout modifications take it out as well as wait.
Alternatively, adapt your story to the awesome thing. The author with the snake-belt guy could have brought that character right into the tale much more, either by making him a one-shot oracle who provides or keeps an essential piece of info, or by making a genuine personality out of him, with a name and also a criminal offense or a heartache. The serpent can after that have served multiple purposes: to reveal the personality's determination to be various despite social convention, for instance. Or possibly he simply does not comprehend why he cannot obtain a partner.
6. Make them laugh.
Did you smile or chuckle at that last line regarding the snake-belt guy lacking a girlfriend? What agents and editors like above all is wit. Note that wit is not specifically humor: We may laugh checking out a scene where a vain person obtains a pie in the face, yet that's wit as well as takes no intelligence to regard. Wit is more of a brain thing. Here's the key: We laugh when we're offered a point of view we had actually never ever have imagined. We laugh when we can see absurdity that others can't. We laugh when we're surprised, when we're caught off-guard by exaggeration. Every one of these could work as subtle tactics for adding wit to your fiction.
If you're really feeling stuck, one easy and also effective method to capitalize on wit is to comb your personalities (instead of your plot) for opportunities. For example, you might choose to give a personality an unseen area. Visualize that snake-belt individual turns up for an initial date and also the woman gradually gets her bag as well as leaves the cafe without so much as a word. The underlying wit is that up until that moment, it had never even occurred to him to consider leaving the snake in your home.
Additionally discover that his date's habits in this instance is underrated-- one more smart method to integrate wit without overdoing it. To take this scene even more, rather than having snake-belt man anger as well as storm out, or phone his friend as well as claim, "Gosh, I just do not comprehend why that date really did not exercise," you could have him simply sit there with a blank expression-- and then, when the server shows up, order coffee, patiently as well as acceptingly, alone.
Try to find opportunities to incorporate small, believable differences. A personality that is sharp concerning some things but not others could be amusing. Think about the nuclear researcher who cannot warm a mug of soup, the successful MBA who adds bank card debt, the diplomat who can't keep tranquility in his very own residence.
7. Make them cry.
Great deals of books make visitors laugh and whole lots make readers sob, yet when visitors laugh and also cry while reviewing the same book, they remember it.
What makes individuals weep? I'm not talking about cherished family pet dogs that die. Exactly what I imply is: What's the mechanism whereby visitors obtain overcome with emotion, whether it's about Old Yeller or a state-fair competition cake that falls prior to it's been judged?
Agents and also editors are seeking psychological suspense, with a walloping reward.
Right here's the secret: Your pathos need to not economical.
In this case, inexpensive is generally the lousy double of quick. Do away with quick, as well as you'll generally prevent cheap, reaching quality in the process.
Take your time as well as let emotion construct from a solitary seed. I might include that catastrophe at the end is fine, yet you do not require it.
Let's state you want to break a personality's heart. Let's say the character is a big, difficult bar bouncer. The best ways to make him vulnerable?
Well, youngsters and also romantics are the most susceptible among us, typically aren't they?
Possibly our bouncer has actually never ever given up his boyhood dream of being a boxer pilot. Possibly, as a 30-year-old, he decides to choose this desire. We follow him as he goes to night school, obtains his GED as well as enroll in the Air Force.
He informs no friend back home, no one he loves what his best goal is. That way, he reasons, if he fails he will not shed face with them.
You understand just what to do from here: Let his dream come more detailed; let him conquer troubles. Allow it unfold. After that, allow some large shot take a doing not like to him. When he learns he's being reassigned to the trip line (the wallop) for no great reason (dual wallop), he recognizes that though he has nobody to jeer at him, he additionally has no person to console him. This subtle element of emotion has sustained lots of a bestseller.
Representatives as well as editors are tuned to look for defects and also weaknesses in an author, but their hearts melt when faced with author stamina, capability and bravery.
Comply with these recommendations, as well as visitors of all sorts will certainly respond to the deeper side of realism that they recognize however can not constantly name.
