I received a copy of this anthology through the Quill and Ink Tour Review Team in exchange for a fair and honest review..... well the title of this anthology says it all ... there are fourteen perverse and bizarre stories by fourteen authors ..each more fascinating and twisted than the last..... it is impossible to review each and every story but the four that caught my attention and caused me the most angst were:
Fucking Addicted by J A Kerr.... a quick and dirty, sexy screwed up story about two addicts who meet at a support group and end up finding more than they bargained for...this is just one huge sex fest full of humour and great dialogue....as with all true addictions once I started reading it I couldn't stop.
Wicked Games by Lilly James ....WTF ....the couple in this story are seriously f***** in the head.....a twisted love story where the main characters have a warped sense of commitment and love.....I loved the complexity of the relationship between the two main characters sexually charged and yet destructive at the same time..
Killer Dom by S. Valentine... this dark and twisted story is a salutary lesson in underestimating your one night stand.,..the title of this short story sums it up beautifully.... I loved the twists and turns in this story and the ending was awesome....
Another Last Glance by Zack Halford... It is impossible to say too much about this story without giving away the plot....a dying billionaire is given the chance to make his fantasies come true ....but nothing is quite what it seems....this was a really original story and I loved the unforeseen events as they play out leading to an unpredictable conclusion...
A thoroughly dark and twisted anthology...

This anthology had me laughing, smiling, feeling the love, and sometimes not so loving. I can totally see why each and every short was apart of this Anthology. It was also perfectly named. It touches on the taboo side that everyone has inside of them. I know i do, so when i read something that touches that side i will buy every book by that author. All of these authors touched that spot so what do you think i did? Thats right.
Petition Denied by Alyson Hale.
Anton thought he and his wife Lana were living out their dream. He thought they had a happy marriage, so when he gets papers in the mail it totally blindsides him. He will do whatever it takes to prove that he still loves her.
I loved this one, it was the perfect start to this Anthology. I loved how they were so in love that nothing not even papers would separate them. When Lana finally opens up about her struggles and her wants Anton listens. It was sensual yet beautiful.
Darkness Consumed by Ariel Marie.
Arissa is a hired gun. Who would ever suspect a woman eight? While out looking for her next target she meets Ryland. He is her escape from the craziness of her life. When her secrets catch up with her, will he stay and try to save her? Can a normal man and an assassin make it in a relationship?
This short took a little while to get into it. I felt it was kind of rushed. I did like how Arissa was a total badass. She knew what she wanted and what to offer someone. I felt like she used Ryland but that was her escape.
Excitable by Brittney Coon.
Ember owns one of the most exclusive client lists in town. She brings out the deepest fantasies in everyone who comes to her. When her friend puts her up for an auction. Luca is the one who claims her. What happens when two doms try to play?
This was a very sensual short. Not only did it remind me of that old tv show called the Client List, but i just loved it. I wanted more. This one left me wanting.
Consensual by Cristina Slough.
Michael and Erica live an amazing life. Great kids and an amazing marriage but something is missing. They decide to try and spice up their relationship. Does it help or continue to cause a rift?
I loved this one, its honestly one of my favorite shorts in this book. It's just so real and believable that it makes me think this happens often in marriages.
F*cking Addicted by J.A Kerr.
Keira is addicted to lying and Aiden is addicted sex. They met at a meeting and hit it off. They both have needs to fill and is willing to go into a messed up relationship just to feed themselves.
This one took sometime just getting through it. It was good don't get me wrong the general storyline was good, but it just wasn't something i would normally read.
Forever Promise by J.L. Baldwin.
Elijah and Beatrice are destined to be together forever. She is the Mate, the other half of his Demon soul. But even a man who had been on earth for hundreds of years has secrets that find a way to come out.
This was a cute and loving short. I love how no matter how much Elijah pushed her away she fought for him. She trusted him enough to hear his secrets and judge for herself.
A Strange and Distant Safety by Jennifer Loring.
Taylor has hidden what he truly is from everyone. When a situation happens and brings him face to face with what he truly is, he has no choice but to embrace it.
Wow just wow. I'm not a huge fan of M/M romance but this one got my heart racing. Not only did i enjoy it, but it's kind of a fantasy that i want done to me.
Wicked Games by Lilly James.
Lyle and Ivy are both messed up people. They are perfect for each other. Lyle saved Ivy from the streets only to use her when he wants. They share these wicked games that are perfect for them.
Oh my goodness yes, this short touches my dark soul. That little piece of me that loves the taboo aspect of erotica. The darker the better sometimes.
Affliction by Marie Skye.
Killian and Alegra come from two different families. The families have been at odds with each for a long time. So when Alegra walks into Killian's classroom all bets are off.
This was kind of Romeo and Julietish. Two people from the opposite families feuding but when the meet and start a fling only to have it blown up in their faces. Oh man, i will definitely be looking for more from this author.
Story of Us by ML Rodriguez.
Adelina is a smart woman and already dating someone when Christian comes into her life. Against her better judgement she goes out with him. All it took was three weeks for his secrets to come.
This book left me wanting more. I had so many unanswered questions. It was an amazing short read though. I felt like it was such a romantic fast fall in love read.
Her Mistake by N. Mills.
Jezabelle was just a librarian trying to live a normal life away from all the mistakes her mother made. That was until a mystery biker came into her world and turned it upside down.
Okay lets start i love the name Jezabelle. I love me a good biker story. Whether it's a short or a full length novel. I loved how she works at a library and is a pretty boring woman. She is feisty and has a temper. I wish there was more information on everyone.
Miss X by Quinn.
She has simple rules for herself. If she breaks them it's only for one night. She has a rule of only married men, older marry men. That was until the one man that has her thinking of breaking all the rules.
Yes, this is an amazing short. It spoke to my daddy issues. Yes, i do have a few older men that i would love to help with those issues. I loved how she had simple rules and stuck by them. I do wish this was a full length book because i feel cheated that this is a short.
Killer Dom by S. Valentine.
Reid has fantasies that he takes litteral. He likes his woman timid and easily overpowered. But with Brandy he may have met his match.
I would have to say that i can totally see why this short is in this anthology. It touches a deep dark part of my. The opening to this book sucked me in and wouldn't let me go. I loved how the tables were turned. I loved it.
Another Last Chance by Zack Halford.
What do you do when you are about to lose it all? Well you participate in a fantasy that will eventually help you die on your own terms. That is what Hal anticipated. He was ready to go out on his own terms, but only it all comes crashing down.
I liked this book because it brings fantasy and a way to go on your terms. It was kind of beautiful actually, well it was until well I'm not going to say. This book held betrayal, love, loss, and having it all till it all comes crashing down.

This title is so fitting, I am so upset here I am reading Darkness Consumed by Ariel Marie and I just want to scream, the storyline is captivating, the plot suspenseful and just when I want more there is a cliffhanger. Now I have to guess what happens with Arissa and Ryland, so not fair, I'm rooting for this couple, the chemistry is there. The other stories in the book are also good. I volunteered to read an ARC from the author

It is impossible to review each individually, that would make this review to long, but there is something for everyone, contemporary, erotic, paranormal, all with twists and turns, hot sexy alpha men, steamy sex scenes, humor.
I voluntarily Reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this anthology.

Fourteen Shades of F*cked Up: An Anthology – Various Authors
4 star review
Read and reviewed on behalf of 2 girls who love books blog.
Fourteen Shades of F*cked up is a compilation of short stories by 14 different authors all wrapped up in one anthology! I love reading anthologies because it allows me to read short stories by some brand new authors! I was also excited to see that an author I really like had a story included too! The stories were all completely different and whilst I liked some more than others they were all 4 or 5 star reads! I loved that a couple of them I can also go and find to continue the story. The stories in this anthology covered a wide range of dark and erotic situations and there’s a story in there for everybody!
Petition Denied by Alyson Hale!
This was a great opening story about a husband who is shocked to receive divorce papers from his wife in the post! He decides to use his powers of persuasion to change her mind! There is a deeper meaning to this story which I loved finding out about!
Darkness Consumed by Ariel Marie
I loved this story! I always love a story with a strong female lead and Arissa was certainly that in this one! Arissa is an assassin who meets Ryland on a night out! He is her escape from her crazy life but trying to make a relationship work is going to be tricky for them! This was one of the longer stories in the anthology and I loved that it ended on a cliff-hanger! I can’t wait to find out what happens next!
Excitable by Brittney Coon
This was a great short story! It is about Ember who co-owns an exclusive club where she brings out the deepest fantasise of her clients! Whilst trying out a new club with her friend she finds herself put up for auction and Luca claims her! How will it work when two Doms try to play?
Consensual by Cristina Slough
This short story is about Erica and Michael who find themselves stuck in their marriage and try and spice things up! Except when push comes to shove can they really go through with it? I will admit that this maybe wasn’t my favourite out of the book but I still enjoyed reading it. It was well written, had a good pace and good characters.
F*cking Addicted by J. A. Kerr
I’m still on the fence a little about this story but that’s not to say it was bad in any way! I think that it’s just sometimes hard to connect with characters when the story is so short. I still enjoyed it nonetheless. The story is about Keira and Aiden who meet at a meeting for people with addictions.
Forever Promises by J. L. Baldwin
This one I liked! It certainly wasn’t what I was expecting! It was about Elijah and Beatrice who are destined to be together forever. She is the mate to the other half of his demon soul. I liked the paranormal element of this story which is unusual for me as it is not a genre I really read but I did like it!
A Strange and Distant Safety by Jennifer Loring
Unfortunately I have to say that this was the story I liked the least and that’s only because I don’t like M/M stories. It was however really well written for a short story and if you are a fan of this genre then you will like this story!
Wicked Games by Lilly James
This was one of the darker stories in the anthology and it was a good read. It’s about Ivy and Lyle who are both messed up! They like to share wicked games!
Affliction by Marie Skye
So I kind of loved this story! I love anything by this author and I wasn’t disappointed in this story at all! It was dark and a whole lot naughty! I can’t wait to read the rest of the story because I need to know what happens next!!!
Story of Us by ML Rodriguez
Wow this story had twists and turns galore! I for one did not see the ending coming! It was a fast paced story and it certainly has the potential for more! I know I would definitely read a longer version of it!
Her Mistake by N. Mills
I LOVE a biker story and this one was no exception! It was a really great story and one of the slightly longer ones in the book which I am really grateful for because it may be my favourite!! I think I may have lost my heart to Trick!!
Miss X by Quinn
I think it’s safe to say that this story definitely belongs in an anthology with the name of this one! It was hard to make my mind up about it until I got to the end and everything becomes a little bit clearer. It was a good short story and I enjoyed reading it. I have to admit my heart did break a little bit for the characters at the end of it! This story has the biggest plot twists ever!
Killer Dom by S. Valentine
Well this one was different! This one certainly belongs in this anthology! It was a good little read and something different to what I would usually read! Brandy and Reid were certainly a match for each other and there were a couple of good twists!
Another Last Glance by Zack Halford
The final story in the book was a good one – again not something I would normally read but it had an interesting twist at the end. I certainly didn’t see it coming anyway!
If you are looking for an introduction to some new authors then I would definitely recommend this book. They stories are all different and there is something for everybody! Whilst I didn’t enjoy all of them it was nice to be introduced to new authors by being able to just read a short amount of their work! I definitely recommend this book and give it an overall 4 stars!

Title is accurate. This book will curl your toes, for better or for worse...

Independent reviewer for Archaeolibraian – I Dig Good Books
Wowsa! This book was filled with all sorts of dirtiness and I have to admit it made this girl blush over and over. As an anthology of course there are multiple different types of short stories but the theme was the same; dirty, sexy, fantasies, dark. Prepare yourself for some awesomeness when you finally get your hands on these stories!
The collection of different authors that entered a story to be told in this anthology is absolutely amazing. They all have their own little twist on writing, but there wasn’t one story that I didn’t enjoy for one reason or another. The different types of short stories are another reason that kept me reading. It was like opening a surprise gift, what surprise could be on the next page.
If you’re not a fan of descriptive sex scenes, okay let me rephrase, scorching hot sex scenes at times, then back away slowly. However, if that’s your thing, dive in head first, you’ll absolutely love these stories.
A few of my favorites were: Petition Denied, Excitable, Story of Us, Her Mistake, Miss X, and Another Last Glance. I loved all of them but these particular stories were some of my favorites and stuck out when I finished them all.
If you have a little dark and dirty in you somewhere, get a copy of this anthology, you’ll enjoy it and thank me later!
*A Copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book and my comments here are my honest opinion.

If you’re not a fan of descriptive sex scenes, okay let me rephrase, scorching hot sex scenes at times, then back away slowly. However, if that’s your thing, dive in head first, you’ll absolutely love these stories.
A few of my favorites were: Petition Denied, Excitable, Story of Us, Her Mistake, Miss X, and Another Last Glance. I loved all of them but these particular stories were some of my favorites and stuck out when I finished them all.
If you have a little dark and dirty in you somewhere, get a copy of this anthology, you’ll enjoy it and thank me later!

This book is filled with so many good stories. It has a variety to read. Something to scratch your itch in erotic. Some I liked more then others and will definitely look into continuing some of them. It gives you just enough of the story to hook you. I was introduced to so many new authors that I haven't read yet and so glad that I have now. I would recommend this book to everybody 18+.

There is definitely something in this anthology for everyone.
Some stories were super easy reads, enjoyable and...entertaining to say the least. There was one I didn't enjoy much, but that's not to say it won't be someone else's cup of tea.
Grab this anthology, you'll love something about it.

I have only read the part by S Valentine's Killer Dom but I will update as I read the book:
This a very different from the other books that I have read by S Valentine. It has a dark side of BDSM with no limitations and safe words mean absolutely nothing.
Reid is seriously hot but under his professional suits he's a bad boy with tattoos. A vey bad boy but be prepared and expect the unexpected!

First of all this is absolutely 18+, you read the name, you know what it's about. Fourteen Shades of F*cked Up is a collection of stories written by, you guessed it, fourteen talented and deliciously dirty minded authors. If you are not in the mood to be turned on I suggest you don't read this until you are. Each story has its own personal crazy twist and not a single one of them are the same, good. All of the authors do such an amazing job turning you on and make you wanting more. Good thing I just starts all over, fourteen magnificent times.
Petition Denied by Alyson Hale is about a husband and wife, Anton and Lana, who have been having some issues. After Lana sends her attorney hubby a petition for divorce, Anton makes sure she remembers she is loved and cherished. Will she be able to handle the bondage? Will their marriage be saved?
Darkness Consumed by Ariel Marie is about a super awesome assassin, Arissa, who accidently breaks her own rule, no strings attached. After she lets her one night stand with Ryland turn into a sporadically regular thing, how is she going to handle this. I need to know what else happens here!!
Excitable by Brittney Coon was one of the most interesting, I’ll say. Take a dominate man and a woman who kneels to no man and put them in a room. What is going to happen? Battle of the sexes, or really battle of the dominate. Is there more because there needs to be.
Consensual by Cristina Slough introduces us to Michael and Erica, a husband and wife duo who are missing the spark of lust. After having kids and settling down way more than they thought they decided to check out a swing house. They make their rules and head out for a night of fun. Or not? Is this too much for them to handle?
F*cking Addicted by J.A. Kerr give us two addicts Keira and Aiden. This story is full of a whole lot of steamy sex. The connection between the two is obvious, have they found their new addiction? Is this a bad idea, this is probably a bad idea, right?
Forever Promises by J.L Baldwin is a paranormal little number about a demon, Elijah and his wife Beatrice. The pair have their share of demons, or secretes they they’ve kept to themselves. Will they be able to love one another after everything is uncovered?
A Strange and Distant Safety by Jennifer Loring shows us Taylor’s story of self-discovery and exploration. He was kidnapped but is this the worst thing that’s happened, or everything he’s needed and wanted? What a story.
Wicked Games by Lilly James is a story about the crazy toxic relationship between Lyle and Ivy. [I don’t really know what else to say because I’m not sure that I have completely recovered from this.] Their story definitely lives up to the title.
Affliction by Marie Skye tells the conflicting tale between Killian and Alegra. Killian is a doctor who is also a professor and he’s a bit of a crab. Alegra walks into class and becomes the insta-target. But what’s this, her last name? Oh crap, she belongs to THAT family, the family that ruined his life.
Story of Us by ML Rodriguez is secrets upon secrets between Adelina and Cristian. This whole thing was a complete what just happened. It was so captivating and I read it too fast because I just wanted to know what was going to come of it. Not what I was expecting, but that’s the best kind of ending.
Her Mistake by N Mills shows us that you can really meet anyone at the library. Jezabella is a librarian who is not fond of her job and has to sometimes play the adult to her own mother. Trick is the bad boy biker than rides into her life but for just one night. But is that it?
Miss X by Quinn is a story that is full of lies and deception. Lane, or maybe Jane, is the one person you hope your significant other stays far far away from, the mistress. This is not just a one man thing, this is a job. Until Damien, something is different. Something seems, off. What a surprize ending.
Killer Dom by S. Valentine is a story that I can honestly say I read with wide eyes the whole time. Reid is a Dominate who is trying to pursue Brandy to be his. Is it going to be that easy? Will he scare her away, or is this something she hass fantasized about? Reid also enjoys hunting, a little bit of anything, what is that about?
Another Last Glance by Zack Halford brings us Hal. What would you do if you were incredibly rich and dying? What if you had a chance to go out in the coolest and most fulfilling way? That’s exactly what Hal plans to do. Is he going to get everything he wants?
Each story is just long enough to captivate you and then plunge you into the next one. Unfortunately, that's the only flaw, the authors write so well that just when it gets juicy, pun intended, the end is near. Never to fear though, there's more where that came from.
If you need a little me time, definitely give this a try, find out your limits and live your wild fantasies. After all, none of us will judge.

Fourteen shades of five-star reading, this anthology is full of great reads, most of them are worthy of five stars, a couple only four, but the whole thing together is amazing.

14 Shades anthology 5 stars X 14!
Who needs 50 Shades when 14 is clearly enough!! This anthology is erotic, dirty, hot, deviant. It promises no judgement for your preferences, fetishes, or desires. This is Fourteen shades of hot. Fourteen shades of yummy. Fourteen shades of O.M.G! Some of the stories could lead to more. Some stories were more! I can’t complain about a single one.
Story 1 is called Petition Denied by Alyson Hale. It is about a husband and wife. And like all good, long marriages, communication is key. However, the wife, Lana wonders if divorce is the answer to their relationship differences. Anton, the husband, has a different way he wants to handle the situation. There’s a shirt circulating on social media that says “every girl wants a guy with a little Christian Gray in him.”
Story 2 is called Darkness Consumed by Ariel Marie…This is about bad girl Arissa, who kills for a living. She meets a guy, Ryland, who turns out to be the love of her life. But how can this possibly work? Great start to a what should be an amazing story! Cannot wait for the rest of this!
Story 3 is Excitable by Britteny Coon. This could easily be the best story ever. I really hope there is more to this one! What could possibly happen when two doms get together!? A sure battle of the wills!
Story 4 is Consensual by Cristina Slough and is about husband and wife duo of Michael and Erica. But holy moly the names could be changed to be my life. Married with kids and no time to do anything dirty! This couple is feeling like they are drifting apart. Together they decide to check out the local swing house. After a night of fantasy will their marriage survive? Have they changed too much? Another 5-star story!
Story 5 is called F*cking Addicted by JA Kerr. This story is as hot as it can get for two young addicts. No drugs or alcohol needed. Just a whole lot of sex! This story kept me turning the pages and has me wondering if there will be more of Keira and Aiden.
Story 6 is Forever Promises by JL Baldwin. This story tells about our friend the demon, Elijah. Elijah has a secret from his wife and mate of over 20 years. When she finds out what he is keeping from her will she send him to a fiery death? Great immortal intro that could lead to a series if Baldwin desires.
Story 7 is A Strange and Distant Safety by Jennifer Loring. “The truth is that I’m tired of pretending. He may have kidnapped me, but I’ve been waiting for him my whole life. Someone to steal me from my commonplace life. To save me from it.” I have no other words for this very deep, revealing, crazy story that I loved!
Story 8 called Wicked Games is by Lilly James. What the What?!?!! Wicked Games indeed! Wow! “Our love is based on flaws and scars not romance and hearts.” This story is about Lyle and Ivy, with a few minor characters thrown in. These two love to hate each other, they degrade each other, their relationship is toxic. I wonder if there will be more outside of this anthology. Will they get what they deserve!?
Story 9 is called Affliction by Marie Skye. Ooohhhh that Marie Skye. She is so good. She loves to give it to the reader! This story is no less than intriguing, hot and captivating. My only response to this story is MORE MORE MORE! There is a secret or a feeling of something else in this story only it is never revealed. Killian is a professor at a college and a doctor. He has a vendetta against the Clyper family for killing his parents and sister. He doesn’t expect the unknown of Alegra Clyper. I cannot wait to read the rest of this story!
Story 10 Story of Us by ML Rodriguez. Rodriguez is another new to me author from this anthology. And what the what!?! Rodriguez’s writing has pulled me in, grabbed me and has not let go! #neversawthatendingcoming This story is about Adelina and Cristian and so many secrets and lies are in play throughout this story.
Story 11 is a story called Her Mistake by N. Mills and is the only biker story in this anthology. But what makes it even better is that it is hot and sweet. A biker vs librarian story. There’s all kinds of action and mystery! I look forward to seeing where Mills takes Trick and Jezabelle. (Love these names!)
Story 12 Miss X by Quinn This story is a good reason the anthology has the name it does! This story is about Lana or Jane and Damien or Michael. No one tells the truth in this story or so it seems. Which is just the first of the fourteen shades of effed up this story is!
Story 13 is Killer Dom by S. Valentine. This story while quite deadly, it was funny in a twisted sort of way. Karma rules this story in my opinion. Brandy and Reid are perfect!
Story 14- Another Last Chance by Zack Halford. Wow, last but certainly not least is a story that is a complete mind screw! Hal is richer than anyone, has more power that anyone and is dying. He wants to go out on his terms and is with a new program he can go out in ecstasy. But greed and lust fill this crazy story and there are plot twists waiting on every turn of the page.
I can’t believe that I have found 12 (of the 14) new to me authors all in one place! This anthology is definitely for the 18 and over crowd...maybe even the even older crowd! The title kind of tells you just how this anthology is going to go, but you really have no idea!

This anthology has the WTF moments mixed with steamy scenes. If you want those twisted quick stories with a little romance this is your go-to!
Darkness Consumes By Ariel Marie
This is the first time we see Ariel not right about anything paranormal, but instead we get an assassin. Yup you heard right we got a female killer and she loves what she does. Arissa enjoys the thrill of getting her target and hunting her prey. Until one day her target gets wind that he is being hunted and runs, but she is already there in location to seduce her prey. Yet with no target in sight, she finds a new mark to entertain her for the night. She has simple runs don’t get attached because there won’t be another night. Ryland on the other hand wants more from the secretive blonde. There is this push and pull between the two and everything is put on the line when you are a killer.
Ariel, why! Yes, this introduction to a story ends just when the story starts to get good. However, I know when this story does hit it will be amazing like every other Ariel story. Cant wait to continue this plot with Arissa and Ryland.

What's not to love about this book? You get fourteen short stories for the price of one. The only thing I wish was to have more. I just could not get enough. It's very hard for me to pick which stories were my favorites so I decided to pick my top three.
Forever Promises- Loved it! Absolutely loved it! Loved the relationship between Elijah and Beatrice. Loved how she loved him so deeply despite his darkness.
F*cking Addicted- Holy Hotness! For this short story I suggest a change of panties. My girlie parts kept clenching. It was that hot. I promise you will not be disappointed.
Affliction- First thought right off the bat was Killian was a HUGE asshole. But with in reading the first couple lines I wanted more. More of his assholeness and more of his story.

This Anthology has a little bit of everything for everyone, sexy alpha males, strong women, forbidden passions, boundaries pushed, greed and dirty little secrets.

Review for Darkness Consumed:
Arissa is an assail and knows that she will never get the happy ending with a husband and kids and that white picket fence. But when she doesn't see her current target, she meets Ryland. She can't keep away from him and he falls for her. But will she be able to keep her secret from him for long? This was a to be continued story so I can't wait to read the full length novel!

Review for Forever Promises by J.L. Baldwin
This story was cute and sweet. I know weird thing to say when talking about a demon. But, the love between Elijah and Beatrice was so wonderful, you could feel it like a second skin. If that makes any sense. I didn't want this story to end! It was short and could have so much added to it! I can't wait to read more!

14 different stories by different authors, some new to me and some I already loved. Everyone had at least one twist and some of them more than one. It was hard to put the book down. Together you had it all - strong characters, well written stories and often very hot.... Puh! Have to fan myself.

14 different stories.
Not with the same theme, all different, most of them hot.
Pity there were some with a cliffhanger, I just don't like these.
But there were enough who I did like.
Some where twisted, but most of them were hot.
