Review: Macabre and sensual all at once

Again, this author's work is so lyrical, so gothic, that the writing springs off the page and becomes a voice in my ears, urging me to pull up a wing-back chair before a roaring fire and enjoy a cup of tea as she tells me a story, a whispered tale of beings and desires that should not be spoken of...and yet she will.Aimélie Aames has a writer's voice that sets the stage for the story so well, from understanding that Claire is blind in the first few paragraphs without being told so, to the chilling realization that one small mistake could have deadly consequences, to the sad description of her budding sexuality. Her supernatural experience -- and then supersensual experience at the hands of a being not of the mortal world -- give the story a rich eroticism that will make you shiver -- in more ways than one.I'm absolutely captivated by this story and cannot wait to see what happens next.
