Curses! A F***ed Up Fairytale (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
How many times can an author write the word 'villian' before it becomes an annoying noise? How many times can a main character black out before we should start worrying about brain damage?J.A. Kazimer tried so very hard to be witty and raunchy, but I found myself rolling my eyes any time RJ and Asia were alone. The sexy scenes read like cheap Janet Evanovich, and I actually like her Stephanie Plum series. Make no mistake, the story is pretty decent, but I give this only one star because parts of it were SO BAD. If I were a freshman in high school, maybe I'd be more appreciative of Kazimer's colorful metaphors and awkward descriptions, but as a 23 year old, they seem tacky and juvenile in a way. If you're looking for a laugh and a light read, sure, Kazimer's Curses will do. I'd take Christopher Moore, or yes, even Janet Evanovich, over this gem any day. There are better laughs and better sex elsewhere. Eh? 2.5 stars. Not nearly as amusing as I had hoped for. It takes a while to get into. Once you do, I guess it's an okay story. You can picture the crazy stuff going on, so I guess I have to give the author something for that. The very beginning is a little over-descriptive though. Overall, I would not read this book again. I don't think I would read another of this author's books that is of a similar nature. I'm not even sure if I would recommend this book to anyone else.

Derivative. Borrowed the ebook. Wasn't worth what I paid in electricity to read it.
