Book Review:
When I first started reading this book I thought it was extremely twisted. I know there are variations of kink…truly I do. What I find hard to wrap my head around is someone getting off on murder. *shudder*
As I got into the book it was easy to see how DeAnna grew into her blood thirst. She’s completely isolated herself from the public. She has everything delivered via UPS and is very familiar w/ her delivery man Jeremy. There comes a day when Jeremy enters her apartment because DeAnna doesn’t answer his delivery call and she’s never done that. He enters and finds her camming. She tries to draw blood and get his box cutters to end him but she also feels extreme attraction to him. She does but doesn’t want to hurt him.
Excerpt:
“Something happened, and I need advice.” I grip the phone tightly and wait for the psychiatrist’s response.
“Another episode?”
“No – nothing about that. It’s Jeremy…you know the guy who-”
“You’ve had one human interaction in three years, I know who you’re talking about. What happened?”
“He left me a note. Outside. With my package.” I read him the note, trying not to add inflections that probably don’t exist. When I finish there is silence, silence that stretches out so long that I find myself fidgeting.
“What do you want from me, DeAnna?”
“I want you to tell me what to do! I don’t know how to handle this shit.”
“What do you want to do?”
“I – I don’t know what I want. I just need you to tell me what to do.”
“What was it like when you were with him?”
I stand, pacing the expanse between my two bedrooms. Crossing the thresholds feels like moving between my two selves – sex kitten to lonely woman. JessBendore19 to scheming murderess. I pushed against his hard chest and then he was there, in my mouth, his tongue pressed gently against mine, and my own traitorous mouth responded, my heart rate increased, my hands moved of their own accord, to his strong arms. Shoving the blade of the box cutters deep into his skin, the blood bursting from the movement, spraying gently upon my hand. I tasted him, greedy for everything, my hands roamed everywhere, grabbed at his shirt, hastily undoing the buttons. If he came back, if he came inside, I could be more prepared, could succeed in my quest for death.
“DeAnna?”
I halt, trying to focus. “I’m sorry – what was the question?”
“What was it like when you were with him? How did you feel?”
“I wanted him.” On me, in me, dead beneath me.
“In what way?” Derek’s voice is so sensual, so soothing, so male. I make a decision, moving to my pink bed, and lay back on the sheets that smell of lube and latex.
Review Cont:
DeAnna aka Jessica on her sex cam has a huge following. She has one cammer that always asks her to dress up as a little girl and perform acts he dreams up via the webcam. He always calls her Annie. When a little girl named Annie makes national news as gone missing, DeAnna becomes suspicious.
She goes to Jeremy for help. I think she’s very brave to want to help this little girl. She uses one of her clients to help her rescue Annie from her kidnapper.
Excerpt:
When there is evil in someone it grows, unattended by all and fielded by its harborer. I knew that, I felt it, each and every day, growing stronger inside of me ‘til one day – snap – it would take over control and every logical thought process, every thought of survival and preservation would disappear, and I would be a loose cannon, fired and on my path of destruction, with nothing but my own doom ahead of me, and the demise of whoever lay in my final path.
RalphMA35 hadn’t snapped yet. But I could see his path as clearly as I could see my own. And it was coming. His demented evil was growing, and I was undoubtedly fanning the flame. I promise you, that is not my intention. My intention is only to save her.
Review Cont:
Things in DeAnna’s life change after her trip to save Annie. A love for a man she’s never thought possible given her urges and a different lifestyle all together. If you’re a lover of figuring out someone psyche this is definitely a book for you. If it doesn’t matter to you, I still highly recommend this book. I give this book 5/5 stars!
