Ha, well I'm glad I didn't continue then. I've been in a bit of a book funk for awhile now and though it was just a me thing.

I just saw this! I know it's so strange with the whole other woman thing. It makes sense later and you get a reason to dislike Sasha. Sadly however I didn't know this was an incomplete series when I started it book 2 To Wrack and Ruin is the last book written so far and we haven't completely resolved everything yet.

Rachel gave 3 stars to Seeing Sound (Tasting Madness, #1) by Albany Walker
bookshelves: whychoose, academy-college-school, paranormal-romance, read-romance-books, burn-medium
I expect more paranormal, something whoo whoo witchy to pop up in this book but so far it's been a slightly tame contemporary college romance novel.

FMC is a very shy innocent virgin type who spent a lot of time in mental health clinics due to the fact that she hears voices in her head. She's found a medication to help control the voices and is now an adult moving on to start college. She meets a set of brothers and their best friends who all happen to have voices similar to the ones that she's been hearing in her head her whole life. Nothing much comes from that interesting fact in this book.

The Guys,
The Eldest Brother, Gives off massive Daddy Dom vibes. He likes to be in control, gets off on her calling him Sir, and tells her she's a good girl. So lots of praise kink going on between them. He's gonna be the one who might set off a few red flags in the beginning.
The Youngest Brother, Football player college jock with a bug heart. He's more playful and sweet but still dominating in his own way.
The Best Friend, Electrician by day, Cello player by night, seems to be a bit of a balance for the overdominant brothers so far, I think he has a bit of a voyeurism kink.

So far the storyline has mostly been about getting to know each other, but the FMC is still keeping the whole "I hear Harem Voices in my head" thing a secret. I think this is going to be less paranormal and more slightly mystical. My guess is she's sensitive to people's emotions and thoughts, some kind of Empathy overdrive gene? I was expecting to find a secret paranormal group but that's just not the case here, the guys all seem perfectly human and besides the voices and sometimes emotions she picks up on, nothing else whoo whoo is happening here.

But the story is still good and I'm enjoying it. But if the shy innocent virgin-type FMCs and Overyly Dominating men with Praise and Voyeurism kinks aren't your cut of tea steer clear of this one.
