Erotic horror is not a type of book I see often, but man did Rajeev create one interesting story within that genre!

I wasn't really sure what to expect from this book. The synopsis sounded awesome, and a mix of erotica and horror (two genres I like to read) could have gone very sour if not done right. I think this book is definitely a niche market and isn't suitable for all readers. That being said, it is really well written!

K, our main character, follows an interesting yet dark story line full of porn and sex, into rape and fantasy, and ending on a higher note than where he begins. It's a unique take on a hero's journey to recognizing more about themselves and growing as a character. The theme (yes, somehow there is a theme in an erotic horror novel!) also was intriguing - do you stay motionless or fight your demons? How can one rise above the negatives?

This book felt like Alice in Wonderland meets Black Swan meets Fifty Shades of Grey on steroids. The twists and turns will leave you breathless (and slightly confused at times, but that's a good thing) and will keep you on edge. I think Rajeev is one talented author, because this book boggled my mind! I didn't know what would happen next (which I love, I hate guessing the endings) and I had to think a lot to grasp what this novel was portraying. If you don't read into it, yeah... it seems kind of weird... but you can take a lot out of it.

Would I recommend this book? Yes. I definitely think you need to research this book before jumping into it, because it's not for the lighthearted by any means. It's R rated and brutal at times. But, it was still a great novel! I love the fact that it was so different from my typical read and opened me up to a new genre. Essentially, I want to read more by Rajeev Singh - he's creative!

Four out of five stars!

I received a free copy of this book from the author Rajeev Singh in exchange of an honest review.

Blood Rain by Rajeev Singh is another dip into erotic horror that will steal the spotlight.

Erotic horror is one of those criss-cross genres. It's creepy yet sexual (as the name implies) but hits in such a strange way. I don't know whether to be scared, horrified or shocked.

A group of five get isolated on an island with sexually charged, exotic women, all being affected by a blood rain. Danger and horror await the crew as they try to traverse through the jungle and come out unscathed. Among the group, emotions are high and terror is higher.

There's lots of women having sex with inanimate objects in this story. It's very strange and is connected to horror, but the characters also find it oddly erotic. Add in blood rain, scary tales and an adventure, and you've got one wild ride (pun intended, thank you very much).

I will give Rajeev a virtual high five for his prose. His story telling ability and his word choice will make chocolate melt in your mouth. Seriously, he's got a way with his words. The first chapter alone had me curious and interested in the story.

If you're looking for something a little different, a little niche, totally R rated, and some truly insane erotic horror then you need to grab this book. Rajeev is such a talented writer and writes this niche market really well.

Four out of five stars.

Thank you to Rajeev Singh for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Try Dying by Rajeev Singh is the first book by this incredible erotic horror author that didn't bode well with me. Let me explain...

Normally, I'm totally all in with Rajeev's books. If you haven't picked his books up, he's a master at erotic horror. His books are creepy, disgusting, mind boggling, menacing and disturbing - the way erotic horror should be. I'm honestly always blown away by his talent! Normally, his kind of horror doesn't sit well with me at all and I (essentially) run away screaming. But his books? The writing style and tone always pulls me in and keeps me hanging on.

Then in walks Try Dying. The writing style, the tone, the word choice - all of the essence of the book is incredible. It just gets a little too brutal for me and I had to walk away numerous times to stomach it. Why? Well, the weird fetishes of wanting to murder a woman viciously while you have sex with her made me ill. If that's the kind of horror you're going for, Rajeev does it well. That kind of horror bothers me - I'm a woman who fears this. I will say, Rajeev Singh does horror well for this topic. I give him all the props, this just isn't the plot line or story line that I should personally be reading. I can't give him enough props, bonuses and compliments for how he made this into a story and made it work. Once I was able to slowly but surely get through this book in little chunks (pun intended), I realized how well written and intriguing it is.

So, what is in store for you, oh mighty reader:
- The Dark Web
- "Walrus-moustached" as my new favourite description
- Fetishes
- An adventure surrounding a curse
- An awesomely designed cover image
- A niche book perfect for it's niche market

Overall, the book plot wise sat at a solid 3 for me. The adventure and curse side of things brought me in, but the brutality against women grossed and creeped me out. The writing? 5 out of 5, which is exactly what you expect from Rajeev Singh.

My final rating is going to sit evenly at a 4 out of 5. I'm not the audience for that book and I can accept that. I still want to read all of Rajeev Singh's books because he's one of the few horror authors that I can (normally) sit through the whole book and enjoy reading. He also just has a really nice writing style that makes the books easy to read. I find I don't get that a lot within the horror genre.

Four out of five stars!

I received this book for free from the author, Rajeev Singh, in exchange of an honest review.

I really enjoyed this story.

Try Dying by Rajeev Singh is thrill ride of erotic splatter horror. The backstory of Nikita is an incredible horror tale on its own; the story as a whole is a riveting journey into death, depravity, and mystery.

Singh’s main character is a relatively unlikeable man with a gore fetish, and the author brings him to stark and evocative life in such a way that you are drawn to him regardless. All of the characters reach out from the pages to grip your emotions, much as the sequences grip your mind. No one and nothing are quite as they seem.

The supernatural elements of Try Dying create compelling mystery and suspense that kept me glued to the story from start to finish. The graphic sexual content and violent sequences, which often are combined, are both titillating and stomach-churning, a wicked invasion of your mind and morals, but not at all gratuitous. These elements combine to make the story what it is, and it is not a story for the faint of heart. The story is unpredictable, and the ending is not anything like what you might expect it to be.

This is erotic extreme horror at its finest and highly recommended for readers who enjoy such.
