Darkness bound Book

Another incredible thriller by Larry Brooks. I started to read this book without knowing anything about it and was initially thinking: Huh? He's writing about sadomasochism? But this is a Larry Brooks novel, so I knew I was in expert hands. And I was right. This intense story twists, turns, and flips upside down. Rather than shining a light on fetishes it focuses on how acting on one's own dark fantasies can go very, very wrong, where an attraction to the forbidden can turn deadly. I loved all the characters. When you find yourself rooting for everyone, including the antagonist, the author did a fantastic job of rounding his characters. Such is the case here. The Dark Lady is the antagonist, and I absolutely loved her! She was so fun to read. It's not often a male author can capture the essence of female characters without them sounding like they're written from a male perspective. Larry Brooks can and does. Besides the storyline, my favorite aspect of this novel was that all the characters were both good and evil. None were above showing their dark side when it suited them. This is a tough review to write because I'm dying to discuss the sharp rights, lefts, backflips, somersaults...I could go on and on. To ruin this story wouldn't be fair. You'll just have to get your own copy. Then come back to this review and let's chat. Until then!
