Book Review: The Bad Seed by Lee Hayes


Description from Goodreads:
The wildly entertaining duo of novellas are sure to intrigue and titillate readers with their exploration of risqué themes. “I Guess That’s Why They Call It The Blues” is about a cosmetically beautiful but emotionally damaged young man who marries a wealthy older man to go from rags to riches. After beginning an illicit affair with his husband’s attorney, he decides that he would rather enjoy the amenities of limitless money minus the husband. He will stop at nothing to see his husband six feet under so that he can dance on his grave, toasting with expensive champagne. In “Crazy in Love,” a hyper-sexual seventeen-year-old high school boy develops a fatalistic crush on his reclusive high school English teacher. When the teacher rebuffs the boy’s advances, all hell breaks loose—and the upstanding teacher’s life is put on the line. Hell hath no fury…

My thoughts:
This book is a little different from others I've read because of the GLTB theme, but I really enjoyed the stories. There are 2 separate stories in this book, and both had me reading constantly, to find out what happens next.

In the first story we follow Blues, a young man married to an older rich man. He is tired of the marriage to the dirty, old man and will try anything to get out, rich. I loved the unexpected ending!


The second story follows a high school teen named Brandon. Brandon is quite delusional and will do anything to be with his teacher. I liked the ending to this one as well.


I will be reading more books by this author in the future!

I received an ARC copy of this book from the publisher Strebor Books, to read and review. Thanks for the opportunity to read this! 
4 out of 5 stars!
