Corrupt (Devil's Night Book 1)

Product Information

So far Damon is deliciously creepy (the upside) but not in the way that I like my creeps (the downside). He's creepy in a skeevy way and I prefer my creeps selective. I have faith in his growth tho. Penelope Douglas is a young woman who is determined to make her mark on the world. Surrounded by an array of interesting and complex characters, Penelope’s story is full of drama and turmoil. Corrupt can be compared to other works of Penelope Douglas. Her other books, such as Dare You To and Until You, also explore themes of loyalty, trust, and morality. However, Corrupt stands out because of its thrilling and suspenseful plot. Standing up straight, I squared my shoulders and let the fear sit. I didn’t push it away or try to bury it. The waiter disappeared, moving on to the many other guests, but I stayed rooted, letting my eyes drift around the party.

I turned left, stopping at the glass doors leading to the terrace and slipped into my heels as I gazed out at the crowd. Even Damon, the villain, is waxing poetics about her looks. (Not even going to open that can of worms right now, gotta leave something for later but ewwww) Erika Fane has been in love with Michael Crist. He captivated her with his brooding intensity, drew her in with his aloofness, and completely disregarded her. But something about him, something behind his eyes drew her to him like a moth to a flame. Erika was too young to really know. Too naive to really see. And she was also dating Michael's younger brother. Now she's single, in a new city by herself for college, and fully in Michael's crosshairs.... The lemon-colored drink was Mr. and Mrs. Crist’s favorite, so they insisted that the servers circulate it. And before you accuse me of being a puritan, I am most definitely not. Get it on, I don’t care. My problem is that a New York minute ago, Michael and his friends were trying to make Erika’s life a living hell by standing outside her bedroom window at night wearing their ridiculous masks, by cutting her off financially (Michael can do this because his father looks after the Fane estate), by making her mother disappear, by threatening her with bodily harm. All is forgiven, though, if you can make a girl come. Am I right?

Oh yes!!!! OMG HOT!!!!!! There was a scene that when I realized what was happening I became seriously annoyed again, and was about to start skimming because again, my mind went into “oh yeah riiiiiiiight” mode, but I continued reading, curiosity getting the best of me that it was actually going there. Almost seemed outta place. But my annoyance as to the fact that I couldn’t believe my eyes, had me continuing, just to make sure I was “understanding” it. LOL!!! And then I realized I had read every single word right to the very end. Every. Single. One. Tee hee!! And ummm… yeah. HOT. Corrupt is much sexier than any of Penelope's other books that I can't even compare. The woman can write the hell out of a sex scene, let me just tell you. But everything about her writing just worked for me. Get ready to be Corrupted, because after reading this, you will never be the same. To protect themselves, the Horsemen pin the blame on Michael’s younger brother, Trevor. Trevor takes the fall for the crime, and his life is ruined in the process. Believing that Rika is responsible for Trevor’s demise, the Horsemen secretly vow to seek revenge on her.

Corrupt by Penelope Douglas: 9780593642009

i remember reading this, like, a thousand years ago - and bless my poor innocent ya dystopian/fantasy, hunger games/divergent reading era soul - i was appalled- DISTURBED. Safety Gang Warning: There is a scene in the beginning involving ow; however nothing happens. But there is a threesome scene between H/h and another male. I'm not usually a fan of this, but it worked for me okay here. PM me if you have questions.She is the CEO of Body Betraying Syndrome Inc. Catch her dropping her panties whenever Michael looks her way, but she’s cooler than you because she’s owning it. What if I'd completely corrupted her? What if she'd begun to like playing games too much, and the lust to play- and to win- overpowered her need for me?

Corrupt by Penelope Douglas - Book Summary Corrupt by Penelope Douglas - Book Summary

Regardless, this format actually worked for me here and kept me wondering what was going to happen next. I read this 2 days ago and I still can't stop thinking about it. There was one particular scene that really threw me and made me wonder if it was really necessary. However, after giving it some though, it was barely a blip on my radar. I also wished for a bit of something from Michael at the end (I won't say what because I'm a teasing bitch like that) but you'll see what I mean once you read it. But once again, thinking on it some more, Penelope stayed true to his character, and having him handle it any other way would not have been that. So I can respect that. Grey: I’m reading corrupt and it is effectively ruining my life. Just want you all to know… I’m supposed to be writing. Nope , I’m reading… Supposed to be cleaning… Nope reading… Supposed to be eating lunch…nope you guessed it, reading. Gah, this book, these Horsemen. This girl…WTF is going to happen, she just robbed her own store, I have pretzel tummy in a major way. I want to keep this spoiler free and, frankly, I'm also a little short on time. So this will be short and to the point...in theory.The guys were in the house—Michael, Mr. and Mrs. Crist’s eldest son, and his three friends—Kai Mori, Will Grayson, and Damon Torrance. My boyfriend’s older brother is like that scary movie that you peek through your hand to watch. He is handsome, strong, and completely terrifying. The star of his college’s basketball team and now gone pro, he’s more concerned with the dirt on his shoe than me. He was blind action and absolute faith that truth was in whatever could be seen. A machine built to act, not think, and that’s why Michael kept him around. The themes of Corrupt are complex and multi-faceted. Penelope Douglas explores the power of loyalty and the boundaries of morality. She also examines the fragility of trust and the consequences of making the wrong decisions. I'm fully aware that not all romances have to be traditionally 'swoon worthy', hell I prefer asshole couples to sugary sweet ones. But the difference was these two had a made up connection and I'm pretty sure they thought they invented 'toxic'.
