dd's Reviews > Den of Vipers

** spoiler alert ** dnf @ 26%

probably the worst book i’ve ever read. i don’t even know where to start, there are so many things wrong with this book. since i probably can’t write an organized review, maybe i’ll just make a list. hang in there, because it’s going to be a long one.


things i didn’t like about Den of Vipers:

❥ the writing was worse than a lot of things i’ve read on wattpad. that’s saying something. wattpad is the central for horny teenagers with terrible writing, and yeaaa, this is worse. so. you get the idea. the author was trying to hard to make things sound good and to cuss alot and honestly it sounds like a worse version of a book i tried to write when i was younger and thought swearing was the coolest thing in the world. ummm yea it was that bad. deadass. i’d give you actual quotes from the book but i’m too lazy and can’t be bothered yeet.

❥ roxy is the most nOt LiKe oThEr GiRLs mc i have read in a long while. she has silver hair, eDgY mAkEUp, and tAts. i know i said i was too lazy to get quotes but i just had to:

“I take more time with my makeup, applying my signature red lipstick, dark liner, and eyeshadow, making my brown eyes pop. Some call me a typical rocker chick, fuck, I even have the piercings to go along with the makeup and tats.”

ahahhahaha nobody cares rOxY 💀💀😭🖐

another one:

”Sighing, I brush back my silver hair and put it in a quick ponytail as I start to close up.”

ew.

one more??

”All in my style, black and edgy.”

we get that ur eDgY and cOoL ok we don’t care 💀

ok ok last one:

”I frown and look at the tangled mess which is my hair, shrugging before throwing it up in a bun.”

i bet the bun looks perfect, too, right?

aaanyways. we don’t stan.

❥ the plot.... doesn’t exist. look for a plot. seriously. search far and wide for a fucking plot. all that happens is this group of pervy tough guys kidnaps a girl (for absolutely no reason) and they hate her at first but she has sex with all of them so they like her by the end of the book. i didn’t even finish this, and i know exactly what happens. (please tell me if i’m wrong.) it’s dumb and it’s problematic and honestly what in the wattpad. i half expected one of the guys to secretly be harry styles but we can’t all have our wishes come true huh

❥ the page count is so long and for what. seriously, for whatt?? there’s no reason. absolutely no reason. fuck this honestly.

❥ the guys in this book make a big show of torturing rapists and stuff but they’re rapists themselves... at one point the “nice” guy of the bunch rapes roxy and the psychopath guy can’t believe she would even think to blame the nice guy. wait i think i have a quote actually:

”She doesn’t get to make Kenzo feel like he took her without consent, it would wreck him. He’s good like that”

#logicwhatlogic

that’s fucked up and not okay period. i don’t give a shit if he’s “good like that.” wtf

the other guys are just dumb stereotypes too... we have the “leader,” the “enforcer,” the “bookie,” and the “assassin.”

the leader is the rude asshole in the fancy suit who acts untouchable but actually has feelings under that mask. coooool sO uNiQUe

the enforcer has had a bAd eXpEriEnCE with one woman so he hates all women now. #feminism

the bookie is supposed to be the nice one out of the group but he’s the first one who rapes roxy so....

the assassin gets turned out by lighting people on fire and torturing them until they die... within the first couple of pages he bites some guys earlobe off. (that shouldn’t be funny but oop 💀)

uhm yea these guys suck. not much else to say.

❥ literally everything else you can think of in a book is terrible in this one. no, i’m not exaggerating. read it for yourself.


things i liked (or tolerated) in den of vipers:

❥ absolutely nothing. i hate this book with every fiber of my being and even though i didn’t finish it i am still going to count it towards my reading challenge because i had to suffer over 200 pages of this dumpster fire. i deserve an award thank you and goodbye. 😌



tw for rape, violence, etc
