It is always delightful to find someone who can actually use the English language well and who brings a new spin on old ideas. It is even more rare to find in the eritoca category... most offerings here are not worth reading.Ms. Sweeny provides a highly original plot departure that leads to the domain of science ficton, and she does so in a storyline that is high on intrigue.I felt however that the erotica tapered off 1/3 through, and we were left with characters that we didn't quite care enough about, aside from their sexual behavior. What is Melissa's story arc? She learns the most of all the characters, but the reader's takeaway on her is... that she wants to go girl-girl now? What does she actually learn, after murdering her husband?Her husband's murder is swift and anticlimactic. It is also inconsequential. There are no repercussions from Ted's demise, which if developed could have led to unusual and intense situations for his wife Melissa. The character Ted seemed to serve only two purposes: to let Melissa afford the Doll of her Dreams and be a target of her rage.Still, it's a solid and entertaining piece of writing and a series I shall follow. Good job, Ms. Sweeny.
