This is just the beginning of
what promises to be a tawdry tale involving the darkest aspects of
human nature. Warning: Violence and implied
incest. |

Very hot! This is down and

Lost souls mired in sex and

right ones. |
Story

Serialized novel so this is
just the beginning. Plenty to entice me into one clicking the next
installments. It would be even better if there were more
flashbacks to what drove Jess to move to NYC and her descent into
drugs, rock stars, and stripping. |
Summary
“Fallen
Angel” by Alisa
Anderson and Cameron Skye is a dark, tasty appetizer with echoes
of “The
Sopranos” only told from the stripper's
point of view. These are damaged people in a harsh world whose
relationships are as screwed up as they are. I have the feeling their
efforts at love are doomed, but I'm still holding out hope they
manage to find one good thing in their lives. Either way I want to
read the voyage in all of its glorious, destructive detail.
This is a $.99 bon bon. It's like
picking up a Lindt
truffle on your way out of the store. There's just enough to wake
up your taste buds, or in this case, other parts due South.
