Mean One by A.B. Cynthe 

My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Spice level: 🌶🌶🌶🌶

(Look, is this unhinged? Yessss, but does that make me want to read it more? Why yes, yes, it does. The more people tell me something is unhinged and or they leave a review that says, "What did I just read?" I'm all in.

Synopsis:

'Tis the season for revenge.

And that's all it says! I mean, i just knew there was going to be a good time between these pages. And before you come for me, yes, I like my mean morally gray but leaning to black. 

My Review: 

Last night I dove headfirst into Mean One by A.B. Cynthe, and honestly? I’m still reeling. I grabbed this novella thanks to a chaotic TikTok review, and let me tell you right now, it absolutely did not disappoint. This 97-page fever dream is packed with pure, unfiltered hate, revenge, and just enough smut to make your brain short-circuit. And if anything on this planet has the power to permanently rewire your neural pathways… it’s Grinch smut. Yes. You read that right. And before anyone asks, yes, the names have been changed, because copyright is a thing and apparently sanity is not.

I genuinely don’t know who I was as a person before reading this book. What do you mean his peen is hairy all over? How do I go back to my regular life after that? How do any of us? Monster girlies, rise up, this one’s for every single one of us who reads unhinged romance for a good time and absolutely no regrets.

This novella is going to make you question your moral compass, your taste in men, your reading habits, and possibly your life choices. You will finish it in a state of stunned silence, blinking at the wall and whispering, “What in the unholy Christmas hell did I just experience?”

Please, for the love of everything wicked and green, read the trigger warnings. This is a dark horror retelling, emphasis on dark, and it does not end the way you think it will. Because seriously… WTF was that ending?! I’m still processing. And I kind of want more.
