A deadly sin with a deadly curse... and a metabolism to die for.
Banished to Earth for crimes against the Deadly Sins Council, Gluttony must prove himself worthy of 'The Seven' in order to reclaim his title as the official seventh sin. Sent to do time in a bustling, food-obsessed city, the weak-willed Sin soon finds himself trapped in a meaningless cycle of binge. Worthiness has never felt farther away. And when the most beautiful human he's ever seen belittles him for his size, it’s a slap in the face.
Cursed with a merciless metabolism, a rotund Gluttony must consume tens of thousands of calories a day, or risk wasting away to nothing. Feeling worthy of neither the Deadly Sins Council or humanity, he’s determined to win the affection of the cold-hearted vixen, even if it kills him. It just might.

"Intoxicating
Yet another spectacular piece of writing by Rachel Hobbs. Gluttonous is a wonderfully unique short story involving one of the seven deadly sins‐—Gluttony. What an absolutely fascinating perspective R. Hobbs brought to her main character. So much so, that even beyond her deliciously creative writing style I felt a nurturing longing for her MC that I know will stay with me for a long time to come. I can't wait to see what else she has in store for the rest of the series. Keep reading R. Hobbs mouth-watering offerings you won't be disappointed." - Hayley Mills, author of the Mercy Aymes series |

"Delightfully Delicious
Hobbs does it again. Bringing a new twist to an old concept. I fell in love with the characters and the story it portrayed. Not just with Gluttony and his lady love but Gluttony's relationship with food, body image and how we see ourselves. I recommend this story to anyone looking for a fun and quick read." - John Ortega, author of the Rune Caster Chronicles |
