I had the privilege of being a beta reader for Grace Street. It is not your typical hearts and flowers romance but rather a dark and twisted thrill ride unlike any other I have read.Elsa becomes “chapter 8” for Victor Laurenzo, aka Mr. Black.  In his deranged mind he is trying to help make his “chapters” better. However, Elsa is unexpected. She doesn’t conform as expected and instead she challenges him. The mind games include humiliation and some mild sadism. There are two significant turning points in the story for Elsa, the first being when she really starts playing his game. You’ll have to read it for the second one ;-).“Here’s another little fact for you Ms. Cassidy: despite what everyone says about the merits of truth and honesty, lying can be an extremely useful skill to master.”~ Mr. BlackFor Victor, he believes because of his genetics and mind set, he is having the only type of relationships that he can sustain. A successful FBI behavior profiler, who has a close twisted kind of relationship with a serial killer. Victor is under many pressures including the inability to solve his current case. His “relationship” with Elsa is meant to be a distraction as well as an experiment in the human behavior. She however is much stronger then she appears. And she has a sexual side that she has never brought to light. Her actions are often the unexpected to Mr. Black, and she fascinates him. Her belief that their is a light of hope in everyone, contradicts Victor’s beliefs but slowly begins to plant the seed in his brain. But is it too late for his light? Will Elsa be the one to bring him back from the dark?There is to be a second book to follow. And I’m anxiously waiting it. While the book doesn’t end in a cliffhanger, per say, it does leave you with many unanswered variables.
