Do you believe in curses,
witches, ghosts, or being possessed? Or do you at least like to read books that
contain it?
Set in Paris in the 1890’s, M.J.
Rose, walks you through the streets of Paris while spinning a dark tale of a
woman unknowingly running from one evil into the arms of another. Sandrine
Salome flees her life in New York, and her dangerous husband, to her allegedly
safe haven of her grandmothers in Paris. Upon arrival Sandrine finds her
grandmother’s house mysteriously closed up. Unable to get any answers from her
grandmother, or at least any straight answers, Sandrine goes searching for her
own answers and what she finds is more dangerous than what she ran away from.
Be coming possessed by an ancient family member who was a witch, a legend and a
courtesan, Sandrine is opened up to her erotic nature as a lover and a painter.
But is this possession a curse or a hidden gift?
In the beginning Sandrine is a meek, nervous,
and scared but M.J. Rose does a wonderful job changing this character to be brave,
passionate, and determined by the end. The author does this in a way that seems
natural and not forced. She guides you through all the emotions and events that
led up to and are constantly changing Sandrine, making the dramatic change in
the character believable and not something that just happened over night.
The books description calls it a “provocative
and magical spellbinder”. Which is not at all far from the truth, it has many explicitly
erotic scenes. The pace of the story is that of one of the erotic scenes. Slow
foreplay to start, an exciting and riveting middle, and a quick end. Though the
story flowed from one scene without hesitation but the last to chapters seemed
to jump from one time to the next with holes in the timeline.
