| NOTES: |
Not the horror book it was purported to be, but solid nonetheless. It was an engrossing read, told in the present, about a young woman writer living in New Orleans who has changed her name and is hiding from a man who kidnapped and cut off her finger 23 years ago. She escaped and now lives in fear of this man, assuming a somewhat normal existence(under the circumstances) until her past comes back to "finish the job". I found the story to be very professionally written. Although I completely agree with the other reviewers on the ad nauseum usage of phrases "tipping her chin" and "muttering an oath", I think most of the blame here needs to be put upon the editor. I definitely would not classify this book as horror, as the cover might lead one to believe; it is more like a light thriller couched in a love story. Erica Spindler is very adept. She obviously can write an attention-keeping book. I'd love to see true horror from her, but this coming from a romance background, this was an excellent step in that direction. |
