Review:
Savage
Blooms is a gothic novel that's part dark academia, part erotic thriller. It's
a well-written book with an intriguing premise, but the sexual component tends
to overpower the rest of the story and ground the progress of the initial
mystery to a halt.
In Savage
Blooms, Adam and his friend Nicola journey to a foreign country with clues
about his deceased grandfather's mysterious past, leading them to an estate. In
a bid to find out more of the mythical estate his grandfather talked about in
his stories, he meets the heiress of the estate, Eileen. As Eileen draws Adam
and Nicola into her dark world of sex, secrets, and magic Adam begins wondering
if Eileen is too good to be true.
I enjoyed
not only the writing style and atmosphere of this book but also the general
mystery surrounding Adam's grandfather's mysterious past. That being said, I
sometimes felt like the sex included way too many explanations on consent, as if
it's a for-dummies book. There were also so many scenes that they really slowed
down the actual plot of the story. The sex scenes are hot and well written but
take up about 70 percent of the book which is too much for a novel that was
supposed to have a story.
It's a good
book but it's very slowly paced, with any advancement in the story halted by
constant sexual scenes, some of which are just about consent and not actual
sex.
