WTH
This was a very intriguing read it was part suspense mystery, touches of paranormal (as the characters feel spiritual connected, shading of past lives), modern Arthurian take on neo-paganism, as this ties into the past life recollections of the main character. Plus a lot of sex play amongst most all the characters M|M M/F M|M|F F/F. The book contains sizzling sex, and voyeurism. Ms. Simone pushes the boundaries of several characters sexuality, and it might be out of some reader's comfort zone.
The premise is not why the book only gets two stars, as the premise is very unique. The two stars are because the author actually jumps points of view several times in this book. Let me explain, the book is written in first person for many of the chapters. But then other chapters are written in third person. Yes, several authors can get away with alternating points of view, but Ms. Simone on several occasions changed points of view narrative mid chapter. In one paragraph she had the character narrative in first person, and the next paragraph it was third person. Ms. Simone obviously was let down by her editors and those who read this book prior to publication. I do not know how this book has received so many four and five star reviews and not one of those reviewers pointed this problem out.
If you are looking for a uniques scintillating read then this book will be up your alley, if you can get over the mid-stream flip flopping point of views.
