COVER ART
by Gene Mollica
• I love original cover illustrations, good job Ms. Mollica.
• Aura matches perfectly with the content; murky, sexy, waiting.
• Did I miss the knife in the story? I must have missed the knife. *blush of shame*
PARANORMALITY
• Highcaps - DNA mutation creating increase brain function and subsequent powers
• Disillusionists - Extreme manics addicted to zinging
SEXUALITY
• M/F
• F/F & F/F/M & Incest suggestions
• Tauntingly electric hidden kisses
• Sinister Sex *dum dum dummmmmm*
REVIEW
• Totally read this in ONE day. It was rainy, I was sick and this was the perfect complement to my mood. (This is my lame excuse for the brevity of this review. Fast reading = fast reviewing!)
• This book is sexy but sex is not the focus, instead it is integrated throughout the story and actually has a legitimate context!
• DO NOT read this if you are a hypochondriac or prone to worrying. Totally crazy intense detail on life threatening diseases.
• Um, WTF is up with the ants? EW! That is also as damaging to my psyche as the scene from Hannibal where the guy cuts his own face off to feed to his dogs.
• You have a very twisted mind Ms. Crane *See above bullet* but I find myself enjoying the ride.
• Oh, yeah. And there is a MORAL to the story. Wicked, right? I would liken it to old 80s sitcoms/children's shows or Jerry Springer. Somewhere in there.
PERSONAL LURES
• Carolyn Crane's blog is intermittent AND funny. (I'm not kidding, her sense of humor is off the hook!)
WANT MORE?
Read a Tuesday Teaser with a zing.
