This is the first I've read of Giselle Renarde, but I'm quite certain it won't be the last. This tale has gorgeous levels to it which belie the title (if taken on face value alone). For though the character of Szuszu is, to all intents and purposes, a supreme narcissist, it's quickly revealed that she is indeed a rather brittle one. Ms. Renarde gives us characters that we can love for their beauty (inner as well as outer), and the two leads (Szuszu and Naomi) work with - and against - each other very nicely. Szuszu was an interesting character and I imagine was fun to write. But it was Naomi's earnest heart and beautiful nature that captured me and kept me reading. And the sex gets rather incendiary at times, too!
