From the back cover:

"Tessa is only thirteen when she discovers that she can drive men mad with love - and to their death.

Martin is a reclusive pyromaniac and he's looking for the one woman who can unleash his demonic desires.

Their union is calculating, obsessional and quite devastating..."

Bought cheaply, especially for BookCrossing purposes.

Planning to release at tonight's Romance / Erotica - themed York BC Meetup...

Since no-one has expressed any interest in this yet - and I thought it sounded quite interesting - I thought I'd rescue it... with a view to reading it myself sometime !

I read this a while back - but my memory of it has faded somewhat as a result of not journalling my thoughts at the time. My bad.

I do remember it being a very engaging read and kinda borderline sleazy - in a way that would provoke comment and potential approbrium had it come from the pen of a male author! The 'rotating narrative voice' device worked well as I remember and it was both atmospheric and unpredictable. Okay, occasionally it was melodramatic and a bit ludicrous and over-the-top - but I rather like those qualities if the setup has been done well and the mood created adequately beforehand. All in all, whilst it can't claim to be high literature, it was a fun(and relatively easy) read and consequently I rather enjoyed it!

I would recommend it to anyone who isn't going to get too hung up on the undeniably inappropriate sexual fantasy aspects of Sally Emerson's writing, but is willing to go with the flow in the interests of being told a gripping story in an entertaining way... Enjoy!

I'm planning to release it at tomorrow evening's 'Supernatural'-themed BC Meetup - being held at The Brigantes in York from 7pm onwards...

Cant say I cared for either of the protaganists, and the morality is a little distasteful, but then that makes this one of the more realistic books about actual people. Worth a read.

Leaving on the shelf for Bonfire night themed meetup. A pyromaniac and young woman men cannot resist meet each other. What could possibly go wrong!?

Since this has been kicking around for a while now, in order to free up some space on the Brigantes OBCZ Bookshelf, I thought I'd move it on to the Ye Olde Starre Inne OBCZ Bookshelf - where hopefully it'll find a new reader...
