I'm kind of liking this short story ebook trend that is going around these days. I think it's a good way to show off writing styles and I must to admit that I pick up the skinnier books first these days purely because of time limits and because if the book is long you can be pretty sure that I will ignore everything else and read the book until it is finished which is never a good plan.

First I would like to Thank FMB Tours for allowing me to be a part of this tour. I have to say this Novella is not for the faint at heart. What would you do for love? Would you kill for love? Would you walk away from Love? What would you do if you do if you knew that love would cause you to change and become someone your not would you still do it?

This is a very short story of only about 5000 words. I read it in about half an hour. I will say that it is not for the faint of heart. I can honestly say that I do not know what the main character in this short story is. Some kind of transformation is taking place changing him from Human to something resembling a demon. You learn through the story that Hugo comes from an Indian heritage and the family has an issue with something taking over their body. When Hugo's father dies in the beginning,...more
Consumed by Love by Pavarti Devi is a wickedly twisted short story filled with perverse love and sadistic carnal desires. What's happening to Hugo isn't natural, yet his lust for flesh, for blood, seeps from his very core. He has always known this change would take place and with the passing of his father, an Abenaki chief, he expected it. Though he wasn't quite prepared for what was stirring inside of him and the hunger it brought forth.

If you are considering Consumed by Love, ask yourself these questions?
Do you like horror?
Do you like the paranormal?
Do you like graphic scenes?
Do you like novellas?
You'll have to answer at least yes to the first three for this book. It is not for the faint of heart. This is a story of a man who goes through a supernatural change at the detriment of his wife who is willing to give up her life out of love.

One of the great things about being a book blogger is finding books you'd not have read were it not for other book bloggers. Pav has written a book that is unique in so many ways. I love outside the box everything books too of course and boy does this book deliver.
Erotic horror. Lust, passion, hunger ah to be desired so. But is it wise to give oneself so completely?
Pav has such a unique spin on love, on too much love I should say. How blinding it can be and how destructive for all.

Consumed by Love is a short story about the lengths one will go for love. Bree watches as her husband slowly changes into Something Else. What that is, I can't really tell you, but it drives Hugo to cannibalism (which is gross, ew). Hugo's sister warns Bree not to let it go too far and to bring him home to the reservation where they can help him, but the warnings are not heeded.
I could tell you what happens after that, but then there woul...more

However, evil is like water; it seeps into all the cracks until it's overflowing from within.
Hugo and Bree lead a simple yet happy life, until Hugo's father died. Since then, Hugo can't stay focused and began wasting away, not hungry for anything his wife cooked anymore. Bree is desperate to save her love, willing to do whatever it takes to restore him to himself. But love isn't enough to satisfy what he's become.

To consume, such a glutinous statement. We hear it all the time, "Oh I am so full, I think I consumed enough for two people!" or that ever oh so dramatic thing that many of us are guilty of letting out, "I am consumed with rage or hate, with remorse or with love. We consume and are consumed every day with emotions, struggling each day and choosing to react or respond to these desires. For most of us, we keep a tap on the hedonistic pleasure of our consumption, whether it be bacon, chocolate or a...more

I love this book! Very well written. Great attention to character development/growth. Had me on the edge of my seat. I simply could not put it down! I don't read a lot of "horror"/"supernatural" books, but this one consumed my attention.
While I had a good idea in the back of my mind how this book would end, I found myself quite vocal in the last paragraph. The description and details of this scene were so well written I could easily visualize the what was happening.

The words flow beautifully past the carnage of their desire. I felt a pang of sorrow for not only Bree and even Hugo, as I realized the damning affect of their love. Is it possible to be truly consumed by love, not in the sense of losing one’s outer body, but one’s inner self? I think it is quite possible to be blinded by the need to please someone and sustain them to a point where the giver is lost in that simple act of salvation.

A true horror story. Pavarti takes you on a voyage over monstrous seas, and crashes you into an isle of monstrous love. Reminds me, for the creep factor and shocking scenes, of Stephen King's "Dreamcatcher".
Pav shows a nature skill in her writing that carries you page to page, her natural passion for life shows in her story line and how she makes you feel the characters!
Um...wow. Definitely not my thing. Cannibalism has no place for me in a romance. Period.

Pavarti is on of my good online friends and I love her work. I am so proud of her accomplishments!
A dark read of the power of one over another. How far would you go for love? This tale had so much mystery surrounding it with a touch of horror. I was intrigued but definitely would have enjoyed more as a novel - or longer novella! So many questions left unanswered and I am still thinking about it. I want to know where does his family come from? Who are they? What is this language they speak? Why would he return home to be saved and lead them? Why did he start to transform after his father died...more
