Review: MOODY AND FOREBODING
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 10 20, 2011
The cover of this book attracted me because it's, frankly, hot enough to singe your fingertips, and the cover reflects the sensuality level of this paranormal novel.If you decry the sameness in paranormal and romance, THIEF OF SOULS is the book you've been waiting for. Author Cynthia Wicklund shocks you at the beginning as she tells the story of beautiful Nicholas Anthony--beautiful, not handsome--in the same way Lucifer was called beautiful. She creates an anti-hero who keeps the reader off balance, worried, and filled with an awful sense of foreboding as young doctor Regina Miles falls under his seductive spell.Without saying more, for fear of ruining the subtle escalating sense of horror, I will say only that you will find yourself so certain of the inevitability of the triumph of evil that you'll be tempted to click to the end to see if you are right. Resist the urge. You'll be glad you did. The ending, to my surprise, was immensely satisfying albeit unexpected.
