I received a free copy of this book for an honest review.This is a difficult book for me to review. Vampires aren’t my favorite subject and, while I like some historical fiction, the geishas of Japan aren’t my favorite historical fiction subject. I’ve read some erotica, and find that a little goes a long way, but I haven’t had the desire to read lesbian erotica. All that being said, Lotus Petals was a surprisingly enjoyable read for me.Aijyn and Rhiannon seem to be in a no win situation. They are both complex, both pathetic in some ways, and very strong in other ways. I couldn’t help but want for them to find a way to escape the control of Gohachiro and find a way to be together.Lotus Petals is a well told story. I could feel the fear and anguish of Aijyn. I found it interesting how Brantwijn Serrah blended the worlds of vampires and Japan.If you like erotica, or don’t mind it as part of a good story, I definitely recommend Lotus Petals.
