The Challenge Factory discussion

by C.M. McKenna
BLURB:
Nearly twelve months sober, Adrian Birch feels like a nobody. But when her wrist is broken in a hit-and-run accident, she’s avenged by the Badger, a secretive street vigilante. Instantly obsessed, Adrian takes to staging suicide and constructing chance meetings to get his attention. Their resulting affair is harsh and needy, wrought with McKenna’s signature dark eroticism—until the connection gets out of hand and ignites the violent passions of the city.

Lmao.

Oh man you didn't have to bring out Dave!!

we still laugh all these years later when we watch this show!!!

Lol. I haven't seen it in forever.

I started. I think you will enjoy this book as it is full of snark (sarcasm and humor).

Do you think she is resentful of her sister? I can't tell. But no one is that flattering of a sister unless there is some jealousy thing at work

What is Badger's deal? He isn't a Robin Hood. why haven't the cops arrested him? Dude is on a bicycle, not even a motorcycle.

HAHAHAHA (view spoiler)[ He just shot her on her leg. OMG, that's funny as hell. For wasting his time??? LMAO!
Dude is hilarious (hide spoiler)]

It seems more like snark. Why isn't the sister resentful of her? I mean sure she got the looks and the put togetherness. But it seems you'll be resentful for the fact that we always have to make sure Adrian is okay.

Chapter Three
(view spoiler)[
They have a homeless newspaper called Spare Change.
That's irony at its best. (hide spoiler)]

That Badger is kinda of a dick.

He's cracking me up though. He's confident to her "I'm nothing" attitude

I'm patiently waiting on the dark messed up shit. The little I've seen isn't that dark, but they ass both need to be in a facility seeking help.

I'm hoping we don't get there for a while

I need it, because it's just meh right now.

They are kissing and (view spoiler)[ he can't get hard. I knew it was a bad sign...but fisting with NO LUBE??? In fact, just fisting? This dude is scary (hide spoiler)]

45%

Both of them need serious help. Like full rehabilitation. Reset buttons on life.

Lol. I'm just at 19%

I'm trying to finish it so I can get back to us sane folks.

I just lack time to devote like i'd like. I just ate family dinner and Emeka is stuffed. That's why he's not yapping about me and the kindle. I'm going to catch up on the walking dead and after he will watch the Good wife. That should buy me 2 hours to read, right?

Add 30 mins in between shows for reading in the bathroom then you could be up to 3 hours for reading.

Husbands cousin just showed up. We're in bed watching tv, no bra, just pjs.
#inconsiderate
#its9:40p

Husband cousin wouldn't have got in.

I don't answer the door after 9!

It's cuffing session.

Jeff is still asleep in my guest room. i am at work right now. Mofo kept us awake until I was sent to bed at 11pm, apparently I feel asleep on the couch.

Didn't watch TWD or anything else :(

Do you remember in Color Purple when Celie said "Pa, NOT Pa!"

Well (view spoiler)[ Grandma NOT Grandma to Issac, LOL! This dude is sooo full of shit, it's not even funny.
Barbara is just as cantankerous as he is. She doesn't have a clue about Issac either.

Gotta love it when you tell someone you love them, and they tell you straight up that they will NEVER be able to give you that back. That's powerful in itself. Really powerful. (hide spoiler)]

I do think Adrian harbors resentment about her sister. Maybe she isn't ready to admit it or acknowledge it, but her comments about her being sunshine and stuff, just ring snarky to me.

Do you think Fiancee has forgiven her? I wouldn't

Finish this last night. I knew that ending was the only possible way.

Adrian to me might be more fucked up them him.

I don't know how to rate this.

i hope to finish this today, but you know what? I am in 59% into it and it's not as scary as I thought.

I have NEVER heard of a guy not being able to get an erection unless...

i thought your body just has physiological responses to certain stimuli which is why you can hate someone (really hate them like an ex) but they can make you have bodily responses for sex.

Hmmm.

that's two books in a row for you with that response :D

Is there a sequel or is this it?

*Wanna join Penni and I at Kicks m-m read . I got the audio last week

The why he needs an erection is so messed up.

Its not dark like I expected.

It is. I had to re-read Syren's book to make me normal again.

Ummm not really the cover doesn't look inviting. I think I tried something with that author and didn't mesh well.

I've never read the author. I feel bad Penni keeps getting these BOMs at Kicks and no one reads them :D
and she specifically asked me to read it last month so I told her only if it were on audio. It came out on audio last week. I didn't even read book 1 which was an m-f book

Well I stopped reading because people who were voting didn't even read those books.

Why are you voting!!!

I only go to the MM thread.

I think it should be a buddy read if we agree on them.
