Obsession Darkness Falls ebook
This is a debut novel. I am completely blown away at the talent this author possesses. It is a very rare occasion that a book will not only stay with me but have me questioning my beliefs. So much of what I want to say in this review would spoil the book for anyone just picking it up but I would very much like to see a discussion opened on the message board about this title.
This is an erotic read and the sex plays a big role in the story line. Its the sub plot that really grabs you- the push and pull between the hero and heroine, the struggle for dominance and the understanding of submission. This is not by any stretch of the imagination your typical kinky romance. I experienced every emotion one could in a single book.
I hesitated on my rating for this book simply because of the subject matter. Again, I don't want to delve into that here because it may spoil the book for some. This truly is a descent into the darkest parts of the human psyche and I was not at all prepared for it. I found myself so deeply rooted in my own personal beliefs that I could not condone certain actions. Having said that, I could not in good conscience give this book anything less than 5 stars. The author has deviated from the erotic norm and crafted a remarkably original story with a flawless delivery. The uniqueness alone warrants 4 stars, but the detailed look into each of the main characters view points and the almost poetic way that she describes their emotions cinched that 5th star. She has me questioning my beliefs, which in my opinion, is a true mark of greatness. I will most certainly be looking for the next installment in this series.
I wish I had not read this book. It haunts me. As I turned the page and saw three words, I had a visceral reaction. I felt the swelling behind my eyes, and then I cried. I try not to think about how I want to grab Gabriel and hold him and then unleash the chains of his past. Yes, for me he is real. I came to love the well developed characters, and the psychology of the book is exacting. For me, the label "dark" is an understatement. I have read 60 books this year and this is the first review I felt compelled to write.
BalasHapusGabriel Hallow first sees Noelle Winters in a coffee shop. She's everything he's not, pure, innocent and honest. He stalks her following her home watching her every move, just as though she's his prey. He wants her really badly, so he makes his move to have Noelle for his own.
BalasHapusNoelle has no idea exactly what she's getting into with Gabriel, he's dark and intimidating, with specific tastes especially sexually. But she's carried along on a tide of emotion.
Wow this book is certainly a roller coaster ride. All I can say is expect the unexpected, and you will still be surprised. Gabriel dominates the whole book, his character is fascinating. He's complex and totally irresistible. Noelle's character does rather tend to pale into insignificance. But I think that's deliberate on the part of the author. Their two contrasting characters and how they react to one another is what drives this story forward. But the whole time I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop. I knew something was coming, and when it did, it was devastating. I can only wonder what's going to happen in the next book.
All I can say is OMG!! I has been so long since I was blown away by a book. I couldn't help but cry. I can't wait for the next book!

I'm really not great about putting my thoughts into words that make sense to other so I'll sum it all up by saying this book was fabulous simply fabulous.
BalasHapusWhat an emotional rollercoaster. My heart is heavy after this one, it haunted me all night at work. Can't wait to read the next book in this series.
BalasHapusLoved, loved this story. It was not predictable, like many these days are. I read a lot of books and this is truly one of my favorites. The author wrote very deep and complex characters. The sex was HOT and frequent. I can't wait for the next part of this story. (I usually don't write reviews, but I noticed there were only 2 so far. People need to know, it was a fantastic book!)
