"Jake & Jack" by Rhett Dreams (blackmail, etc) 7, 8, 8
"Jake & Jack" by Rhett Dreams (repost, no address available). Guest review by Fiddler. "Start with an earthquake," the Hollywood advice goes, "and work up." Rhett Dreams does that. Jake and Jack (O'Leary) are twin sons of a widowed police lieutenant. Jake is the narrator. They photograph their sister Cathy in the nude and also taking drugs. They blackmail her into having both oral and vaginal sex with them. This is chapter 1 of a 20- chapter book, and I ended it puzzled by what the author could do to keep the action escalating. Soon, however, the action moves to Jake's new girlfriend, Sophie Patterson, and her family. They engage in as many M-F and F-F combinations as Jake, father, mother, boy, and two girls can manage, including anal and D/S. In one sense this is a standard "let's see how many taboos we can break" story. And yet: a decent amount of effort is put into developing some of the characters; the entire discussion of rehabbing an old house and the relationships within the police department are more fully developed than usual in this sort of story; the black family, if brought in from left field late in the book, is handled with realism and without any shock attempts; Jake and Sophie have some dates before they fall into bed. On the other hand: the language is pedestrian when it is not simply wrong; Cathy treats her brothers like shit before they blackmail her, and kindly ever after; Sophie goes out on her first date at sixteen, is deflowered a month later, and starts fellatio and D/S the same night; she has her hymen several inches up her vagina; the two Patterson adults have totally pedestrian sex for 16 years before they are turned on to kinkiness, and then both embrace all forms of kinkiness immediately; except for a bit of token resistance to incest from Cathy, nobody suggests any sort of sex without the other party's enthusiastic agreement; the author mixes up Bob and Bill and, incredibly, Jack and Jake. If you want a standard "every prick in every hole" story, you'll get it and more. If you want a story of believable people, you'll just miss. Ratings for "Jake and Jack" Athena (technical quality): 7 Venus (plot & character): 8 Fiddler (appeal to this reviewer): 8 |
