Femdom-ish Book Review Round-up January 2013

As ever, there's a bit of news, some new potential reads and plenty of questions this month to welcome in 2013.

The closest thing to a potential new femdom release I've seen this month is Vampire Meltdown by Storm Savage. The heroine sounds quite promising: She likes wielding power over men—teasing them—killing them. Having said that though, I've got a post brewing about the problem of books that look like promising femdom but quickly reveal themselves to be the normal rubbish.

I've had a comment asking why I haven't reviewed any books by Carmenica Diaz. The short answer is that I didn't know about her. Billed as Elegant Femdom Fiction, there are a mix of novellas and short stories. From reading the blurbs, most seem to centre around a male submissive asking his vanilla wife to dominate him and her miraculously turning into the Dominatrix of his dreams. It's not a trope I'm that keen on and neither am I particularly tempted by the prices ($9 for 22k words is rather a lot imho). However, I think that some readers of this blog might be interested, so if anyone reads any of her stuff please do drop me a line and say what you thought of it.

I've also been asked for a recommendation for some romantic femdom porn - the movie sort. I generally prefer my porn written and so this isn't really my specialist subject. Perhaps you have some ideas?

Over on the legendary Girls Rule, Subs Drool tumblr, Mistress Maria reveals her impecable taste in books. She recommends a couple of books I've rated as A s here, as well as Cassandra French’s Finishing School for Boys: A Novel by Eric Garcia.

What was your Christmas reading? Have you found any great new books in the new year?



***Update***

Over at DearAuthor, Jane has reviewed Vanilla on Top by C.J. Ellison. It sounds like as ever, a promising premise turns out to be male-dom/vanilla dressed as femdom. Pity. It's a nice cover. In fact, it's another perfect example of cover and book description misrepresentation that I discussed in my last blog post.

  1. Legendary! You give me too much credit. Thank you!
    I'm flattered that you follow me and saw my post. Keep up the good work (because I need new things to read! Haha).

  2. Three free ebooks are on Carmenica Diaz's website. They are "Lena", "Wicked Women" ,and "Teasing", all in pdf forms. Personally they are not my cup of tea, but you can judge them for yourself.

    1. Yes... I'm not sure that Carmenica Diaz is going to be my cup of tea either. Free reads are good for those considering a purchase, who think maybe it is their cup of tea though. Thanks for the heads up.
