Once Upon A Dreadful Time

Title: Once Upon A Dreadful Time

Author: Dennis L. McKiernan

Book in the Series: Book 5 of the Faery Series

Page Number: 11 for the good guys 29 for the bad guys

Scale Of Realistic Detail: 3 this time the author just notes when people bang without much detail unless it’s the bad guys

Is Anyone Involved A Virgin?: Nope.

Is Anyone Involved A Magical Creature?: Yes, the villains keep banging everything they can in this and at least a couple of magical creatures are in the mix.

Is It Consensual: Yes for the heroes. No in all but one case with the villains.

Is It A Plot Device: No. It’s noted more as done out of boredom in the case with the heroes and as a show of villainy by the bad guys.

Kinks Involved: None named as kinks but definitely a lot of non-consensual stuff by the bad guys.

Bangs Per Book: There’s no way to get a true count because of the way sex is just thrown into this book unlike the others in the series. There are 3 mentions of banging between heroes and two of those are “now and then they made love” so it’s kind of a weird dirty footnote. With the villains they pretty much bang everything that moves and it’s mentioned at the end of almost every sequence with them but only in a “Orbane swived every femme in the place, some several times” so even though the mentions get the count up to around 10 the bedpost notches are impossible to count in this one.

Did You Feel Dirty For Reading This?: No, more just perplexed. It’s a strange end to a fun series. As for the banging, it feels very out of place almost as if it was shoehorned in just so this would be a “adult fairy tale”.
