Scott Hildreth's novel is aka "Dying to Survive" and "No Butterflies or Rainbows"This is a hard review to write since I will not give spoilers as the synopsis tells all you need to know.This incredible author does not yank you through this novel as many good thrillers do.. no.. he uses finesse to beguile his reader. The 1st half of the story I felt I was waltzing with a master. Ryan reminds me of Hannibal Lector (Anthony Hopkins) in "Silence of the Lambs".. there is a strange pull... an attraction you just can't quite explain.I became not only fond of Meghan and Ryan but also mesmerized by their evolution as characters. Our author transformed and twisted my emotions as easily as floating down a lazy river. I mean damn.. I found myself not only liking and attracted to Ryan but feeling empathy for him as well. All the while beginning to look at Meghan's with suspicion over her ease of acceptance. What a flip! How does he make you start liking the villain and start mistrusting the victim?? He is just THAT DAMN GOOD!And Good God what can I say about Amy? Don't judge a book by it's cover.I admire and support authors with the courage to tell us the story they want us to read and not bury us under a watered down version of what could have been. Slap me in the face! Shake me till my eyes roll back and give me the real thing... if I wanted cookie cutter plots and cotton candy erotica it's easy to find.Thank you Scott Hildreth for giving me something to sink my teeth into.Scott, my man, your one freaky dude with a set of billiards any bull would be proud of! I'd love to wander around in your brain and watch those neurons fire. I'm just saying.. Darker than Dark.. absolutely Black! You know... you have a new fan, I can't wait to devour the remainder of your prose. OH.. and why was this book banned at Amazon.. really.. come on people... grow up. Don't read the genre if it's not your kink!
