Motel Gothic
IN HERE NO ONE WILL HEAR YOU SCREAM!
The Devil's Coin Game was a game for desperate men. And Dooks, Hicks, and Robby were three such men, men with nothing to lose, men prepared to gamble their lives away on the flip of a coin. The rules of the game were simple: one man would die, the other two would have their wishes granted by the devil. At midnight in the Sunflower Motel, the Devil's Coin Game will be played, and one of the players will not survive.
Elsewhere in the Sunflower Motel, two female assassins Mandy Cherry and Dewdrop arrive to murder someone. But things are guaranteed to go awry when the intended victim is a witch.
And on this same portentous night, Roman is about to have an unforgettable meeting with a prostitute named Christine. Christine Valona supposedly brings bad luck to all those who encounter her; but why is this, and who is she?
MOTEL GOTHIC: SEX, MAGIC, GORE, AND A WHOLE LOT MORE!

This is one of Wol-vriey's stranger novels. There is a lot going on in a motel in Raynham, Massachusetts. Blood, fresh human hearts, sex and magik are all included. Take three men desperate enough to play a game with a demon, two hit women, an excessively made-up prostitute and one witch, and what do you get? Messy deaths, a dog with a human face, hell's Sex Realm, two demons with humorous names and a prostitute that just won't quit. Not to mention a very disgusting action taken by the vengeful witch. The pieces all fall together (but first they are torn asunder) in the end.

I went into this book pretty much blind. Its Wol-vriey and I'm a fan, so there's that. Starting out I got the feel this was a normal horror story. Interesting, but nothing too extreme. There are a few storylines, each happening at the same motel. Men playing games with a demon for wealth, contract killers sent to kill a witch, and a prostitute trying to drum up business.
At the half way (maybe a bit more) point, I realized this was an EXTREME story. And oh boy! Was I blown away. Not only do we get a glimpse into Hell's sex playground, there was a scene that made me LOL so loud that I nearly woke my hubby. Here's a hint without spoiling anything, it involves defecating into a certain body part. Oh yeah, and there's a dog that eats human hearts
When all the storylines came together, it was greatness. Excellent read

Motel Gothic is one of those books that takes a while to make all its connections but has a whole (pun intended) hell of a lot of fun getting there. We have 3 sketchy, desperate men willing to sacrifice one of their number in a game with the Devil; two assassins/lovers out to murder a witch for the mobster's girlfriend they tried to blackmail; and a lonely young man, still pining for the love who walked out on him, who crosses path with a very unlucky prostitute.
Wol-vriey weaves demonology, witchcraft, curses, and ghost stories into the seedy rooms of Motel Gothic, and just when you think it's reached the heights of blood and sacrifice, it makes a major turn into hedonistic and sadomasochistic sex. There's a very good reason for that turn, and there are a few very important connections to come out of it, but I honestly didn't see any of them coming, and I loved that.
After all that, I thought there was a very strong ending that tied up most of the loose ends, but then the story tries to close off one more plotline . . . and that, for me, just felt a little soft. Where the book could have ended on a sorrowful, sadistic sort of twist, it instead slides into dark humor and yet more violence that, at that point, has lost its power. Still a fun read, but I would have stopped it a few pages sooner.

Wol-vriey has that wonderful talent: you have to carry on reading, no matter how much you are trying not to be sick in your own mouth!
Very entertaining in a "omg I want to claw my skin off and wash my brain after reading that" kind of way :D
Next please! (which for me, is the Batchelor)
