I looked down, seeing the pointed tips of my breasts harden through the thin fabric, and I shook with silent, bitter laughter, reveling in my degradation.

Corrupt by Penelope Douglas - Maryse Book Review – Corrupt by Penelope Douglas - Maryse

So overall, there were parts I enjoyed that had me reading on the edge of my seat, and many moments where I found myself huffing and puffing and eye-rolling with annoyance, which had me putting it down often. i couldn't handle the dumbassery y'all. it was literally the most infuriating thing ever and yes, there was NO GROVELLING. no, i don't count sex as grovelling sorry. and yes, Rika gave in very easily.

Success!

Personification brings characters and objects to life, emphasizing certain points. It is clear that the author has achieved a great amount of perplexity and burstiness within the novel, making it a powerful and meaningful story. well ok his actions were not out of character but still. he made a girl sit on his lap to make Rika jealous and then his mindset was all like "ugh why can't she just give in after i let my friends manhandle her and threaten her with rape? im literally doing the bare minimum and yet she hates me?? omg why? i need help pleaaase uwu" after that i just went In Penelope Douglas’ Corrupt, conversations between characters play an integral role in developing the plot, characters, and themes. Which can be seen as Jax visits a strip club and gets into a fight with a dancer, demonstrating his disregard for authority. Anyway, I was excited because I’d get to hate on Rika (one of my favorite pastimes because I’m pathetic okay) but am now deeply offended because my hate for her grew with the series. It’s hard to read a book with a character you hate because if this was my first time, I would’ve just rolled my eyes at her but I swear this fictional character’s very existence is bothersome to my very immature and very petty self. I’m royally pissed that I only get to judge her (in this review) based on this book, because of my upstanding morals (LOL JK that well is drier than me reading the horrible threesome) Until my brother leaves for the military, and I find Rika alone at college. In my city. Unprotected.

Corrupt Scene!!!! – Pen Douglas Corrupt Scene!!!! – Pen Douglas

The town is full of secrets, and its citizens are wary of outsiders. This creates an atmosphere of dread and suspicion, making it difficult to know who to trust. Every corner of the town conceals a hidden danger. first i struggled staying awake for 60% and then i just struggled when the plot became so bad i had five mental breakdowns!! Brad, a former lover of Saddie’s, serves as the novel’s antagonist, aiming to sabotage her relationship with Jaxon. Other significant characters include Mrs. Clarkson, Jaxon’s assistant, and Tessa, who works for Jaxon’s company. He was a sadist, and my little heart just had to go pitter-patter the second his yanks, grabs, and pulls turned into gentle caresses and his frowns, scowls, and snarls turned into whispers.The writing style in Corrupt is both engaging and powerful. Penelope Douglas’ writing is vivid and gripping, allowing the reader to feel the tension and emotion of the characters. She uses powerful metaphors and symbolism to provide a deeper meaning.

There are too many people that try to change us, and not enough people who want us to be who we really are. Someone once made me see that, and i wanted to give that to you.”Few places are as mysterious and oppressive as the small rural town in the Midwest featured in Penelope Douglas’ novel Corrupt. The town is characterized by its friendly inhabitants and close-knit community, with most of its citizens living in modest homes and working in the local factories or farms. The book contains an abundance of information about corruption in different countries and regions, making it an invaluable resource for those looking to learn more about this topic. It also provides a comprehensive overview of the various forms of corruption and their consequences, from bribery and nepotism to money laundering and other financial crimes. Will: Hey, what are we supposed to do when we get tired of her? We can't pay her for nothing, can we? By the way… the masks were kind of… AWESOME. LOL!!!!! I actually loved that crazy horror-movie touch. * snort* I’m so contradicting myself in this review.
