I was simply taken in by the title of the book Echoes in a Nightmare though I was a little upset with its sub-title “Some of the sexual idio(t)syncrasies of men can be dangerous…” which I feel was not at all necessary to the overall scheme of things. But leaving that aside, I was simply absorbed by the story which I find quite enjoyable.Echoes in a Nightmare by Budd Severs follows the story two siblings who left home after the death of their mother and ended up in a city where they are engaged in the oldest profession in the world. The death of Erin, who was dependent on drug, forces Echo to return to her childhood farm without an inkling of the dangers that awaits her.The characters are well-developed and the story well-conceived with the author going to the extent of narrating how the parents of Echo and Erin met. Many readers will be fascinated by Stefan and his relationship with Echo. Quite engrossing, it is a story that has the power to make you laugh and cry at the same time.
