I'm been trying to decide whether or not I want to read it now that I've read the reviews.

Kind of sounds like a repeat of Acheron's book.

That's what I gathered, too. As much as I loved that one, did we really need a redux?

I will read it here in the next couple of weeks. I'll let you know if it will be worth your while. smile

It's definitely like Acheron's book only from Styxx's side and you get an entirely different picture. Again, I'm not that far, but without any spoilers, it certainly makes the things that happened to Acheron look mild. It's actually pretty hard to read some of it, I think the point could have easily been made without so much of the description of some of things.

If anyone needs new fodder, there's a "boxed set" of stories called Wicked Firsts for 99 cents. It's a compilation of the first installment in new series by six different authors. Most of them were pretty good. smile

That keeps showing up in my recommendations Becca. For 99 cents can't help but give it a try!

That's how I finally ended up with it. I'd also read other work by two of the authors before.

That's a cool idea! Great exposure for the authors too.

I thought Acheron was a tough read. Styxx makes me cry just as much. His life was no picnic. I read Ash's book when it first came out, in hard cover. Big, heavy book to lug around. Anyway, I want to go back and read it again just to see the other side. It is funny how different perceptions can be. This one is gonna take a little while, though.

I had to put Styxx down at around 27%. It's almost too much. I'm going to have to read this book in small doses I think.

That's around where I'm at as well, Sarah. It can bring a person down, can't it?

Most definitely. As the tears were streaming down my face I thought, "why am I putting myself through this?". LOL

Ok, I am so glad that others are having trouble with this. Yes, I didn't pick it up all weekend because I didn't want to be depressed! Lol. Now that I'm at work today and depressed by the simple fact that the weekend's over, I'll probably read some at lunch.

I'm reached something like 54% into Styxx, and it's still heart wrenching. I just don't understand how someone could come up with half the stuff in this book. sick

I'm a glutton for punishment. I keep hoping his life gets better. I read Acheron so long ago that I forgot how Styxx turns out. I can't walk away now.

Is everyone freaking out over the casting for Fifty? I heard the actor playing Christian isn't using a body double. In any scene. shocked

The only reason I would actually watch the movie would be to see Charlie Hunnam (Jax from Sons of Anarchy) in the buff. smirk

I'll finish it eventually. I just have to put it down every couple hundred pages and read some fluff to counteract the despair. LOL

Yes they are. I thought there were Fifty fans here, that's why I posted it. I haven't read them and don't intend on seeing the movie.
