The Director by Lily White Release Review

I received a copy of this book to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.

The Director is a super dark and twisted book. If you have triggers you may not want to pick this one up. I have to put it up there with one of the most dark and twisted books I have ever read. Trust me I read a lot of dark, messed up things but this one takes the cake. The Director also will only be available through Lily White’s website and Smashwords.

Everyone wants to be an actress, right? he lights, the camera, the action? The fame, the money, the beauty and esteem? It is all part of the package….Unless of course your part of HIS films. Ethan Cole was on of the best directors in the business until the day he disappeared. He was charismatic, gorgeous, intriguing and so brilliant that no other person could compare. People believed he had simply quit. In truth, he had gone underground. I, Emma, found him after being stolen from the streets. I was thrown into his new world, his fantasies, his decadent chaos, and I found myself fighting just to stay alive.He seduced me while tormenting me. Made me a star while keeping me hidden from the public’s eye. He asked me on simple question before shoving me in front of the glittering lights and dark lens of his camera. One question, requiring only one response. F**k or Die?

I am just going to say this one more time in case you missed it the first time. This is a dark Lily White book. It is filled with blood and gore, rape and murder described in detail. Like I said before it is the darkest book I have ever read. We begin by meeting Emma, your average every day citizen of Boston who goes on a terrible date and finds herself in the next instance in the back of a van being violated and thrown on a ship. I knew right there that I was in for a lot of details and some really bad stuff along the way. When Emma arrives on land again she is in the presence of a man who orders her and the other girls to strip, their examined and a door is picked for them. After they go though those respective doors you will just have to read to find out what happens. Her first interaction with Ethan Cole in in that situation in the room where she had to strip. But soon he sees something in Emma that will of course make him a lot of money and his films more interesting. You see, Ethan left Hollywood because he is such a great director but he wanted real emotions in his films not the fake kind actors and actress do in the movies, but real raw emotion. Emma for her part is a strong woman who has a mouth on her and she doesn’t care that Ethan can get rid of her at the drop of the hat. That she could and eventually would die in that God forsaken place, yet somehow she and Ethan both see things in each other they like. But, a relationship would be impossible and who falls in love with the man who holds their very live in his hands. These are things you will have to read to find out what happens. Trust me it is a ride you will probably never ever forget. I could not for the life of me put this book down and had to know what happens. Now today I am questioning my sanity big time.
