This is a very cool short read that lingers long after you've finished it. It's equal parts gritty, sensual and dark, thanks in part to the author's wonderful grasp of description and imagery.Jesse tags along with her friend Tasha who is looking for a good time with a hot guy after being dumped by her boyfriend. They end up visiting a nightclub with a VIP section that immediately reeks of "wrongness." Tasha is too looped to realize the danger, and Jesse can't put her finger on why the place (along with its too-perfect party-goers) leaves her feeling so uncomfortable.It's fun (and creepy) seeing the answer unfold through her eyes. As the reader, you get a sense of building danger that slowly seeps under your skin. By the time Jesse and Tasha are settled into the VIP lounge, I was on full alert waiting for the trap to be sprung. The descriptions of the lounge are amazing and expertly complement the ominous tone for that section of the story.I loved the impact of the ending and could easily see this short read developing into more.
