Customer Reviews

Noveltic

A adult erotica in a novel sense is very unique and suspenseful in this novel

Poetic Erotica!

This is one of the sexiest books I have ever read. Alina Reyes's language is poetic and erotic at the same time. This isn't your typical romance novel in which the plot is pretty much out on the open; you have to actually read between the lines and figure out what the scene symbolizes. I love the story of a French woman whose innocence is lost during college vacation. She worked at a deli, and the butcher whispered in obscene detail what he would like to do with her. Despite having fallen in love with a male classmate, the young woman is drawn to the butcher. Alina Reyes will take you on an erotic journey that you can't even begin to fathom. As I've mentioned earlier, you have got to figure out what the story symbolizes. This is a great read. With sensuous scenes, beautiful language and poetic undertones, The Butcher is one of the most profound pieces of fiction I have ever read.

Strange and Troubling...

This is a very troubling book. An excellent, sensual read. The tone of it all is so inviting... the kink of book that you read more than once.
