BLURB:
I screw men for money. Not literally, think phone sex operator
with a 15 megapixel web cam thrown in. They tell me their deepest, darkest
fantasies while paying me $6.99 a minute.
What would possess me to engage in such a business? Throw in a
tortoured past, 24/7 murderous thoughts, and a desire to keep the innocent
people of my small town safe.
I was contained, out of the way, sexcamming my way to utter
obscurity until HE came along. A twisted client armed with a targets name.
Annie. And in that name, everything changed.
Warning:
This book contains explicit sexual references, and should not be read by anyone
under the age of 18.
EXTENDED SNEAK PEAK:
“Something
happened, and I need advice.” I grip the phone tightly and wait for the
psychiatrist’s response.
“Another
episode?”
“No -
nothing about that. It’s
Jeremy…you know the guy who-”
“You’ve had
one human interaction in three years, I know who you’re talking about. What happened?”
“He left me
a note. Outside. With my package.” I read him the note, trying not to add
inflections that probably don’t exist.
When I finish there is silence, silence that stretches out so long that
I find myself fidgeting.
“What do you
want from me, DeAnna?”
“I want you
to tell me what to do! I don’t
know how to handle this shit.”
“What do you
want to do?”
“I - I don’t
know what I want. I just need you
to tell me what to do.”
“What was it
like when you were with him?”
I stand,
pacing the expanse between my two bedrooms. Crossing the thresholds feels like moving between my two
selves – sex kitten to lonely woman.
JessReilly19 to scheming murderess. I pushed against his
hard chest and then he was there, in my mouth, his tongue pressed gently
against mine, and my own traitorous mouth responded, my heart rate increased,
my hands moved of their own accord, to his strong arms. Shoving the blade
of the box cutters deep into his skin, the blood bursting from the movement,
spraying gently upon my hand. I tasted him, greedy for everything, my
hands roamed everywhere, grabbed at his shirt, hastily undoing the buttons. If he came back, if he came inside, I
could be more prepared, could succeed in my quest for death.
“Deanna?”
I halt,
trying to focus. “I’m sorry - what
was the question?”
“What was it
like when you were with him? How
did you feel?”
“I wanted
him.” On me, in me, dead beneath me.
“In what
way?” Derek’s voice is so sensual,
so soothing, so male. I make a decision,
moving to my pink bed, and lay back on the sheets that smell of lube and latex.

My Review...
Ok, so this review took me a few days because I needed to process all that went down in this book. This book was a window into things I know nothing about. It was dark, edgy, sad and yet still super hopeful.
It brings you into the world of "camming", anthrophobia (fear of human interaction) and cruorimania (obsession with murder) and a whole schwack of sexual fetishes.
Throughout the book you also get a look into why DeAnna is they way she is. This part of the journey is so heartbreaking. During this you also get a disturbing look into a world of sexual depravity that I was not familiar with at all. In this process DeAnna discovers something and someone that can change her world in a heart beat.
On her new journey DeAnna discovers a lot of things that she was scared to face and with this she discovered saving Anna as well as her self and is left with hope at the end of her new rainbow.
I really did enjoy this book even though it is very dark. Alessandra has a gift at bringing you into the mind of the unknown and keeping you captivated of finding out what next.
4 Disturbing thumbs up!
