I'm a huge Selena Kitt fan and have followed her career for a while now. I was wondering if the woman was capable of putting out a bad book and well, I got my answer.To be fair, she normally puts out phenomenal erotica with characters you would get involved with and root for. Her prose is excellent and her descriptions are marvelous. This book was not that type.The main character, Cathy, is just weird and maybe she's supposed to be written as weird (after all, she does collect phone books and calls random people, not to talk but just to hear their voice and breathing, it seems). Cathy has a strained relationship with her mother that never goes into detail (or maybe it did and I just didn't read to that part) but there is a lot of unnecessary detail on certain innocent things her mother does that Cathy loathes (from her second marriage wedding day to how the mother reacted to the Cathy's father's funeral).Second, I couldn't for one second believe the character Seth would be on the phone that long, talking to an empty line, asking several questions asking someone if they're there or if it was Cathy, when a normal person would just hang up. I know it's fiction and there is a small element of B.S. to be had but that was pretty unbelievable.And then Cathy spazzes on Seth, cursing him out. That's when I finally erased the book from the kindle.Now, the writing is excellent, hence why this isn't a 1-star book. I'm sure the love scene was great but I couldn't get past the endless loads of BS first.
