Title: Dark and Compelling
Product review: This book was not what I expected at all. The writing is compelling and it touches on some really dark subjects with an unexpected warmth and dimension.This book is not really about threesomes, nor would I call it erotica although I see that it's listed as such and the bookjacket seems to give that idea.This story is about the darkness inside of people, the places that exist beneath the surface, lurking in the shadows, waiting to unfurl.While it seems at times that the darkness lies inside of Ilan, and he surely has some, it's really with Maya. Maya who loves and yet hates what Ilan is to her, what he evokes from her, the depths to which she's allowed herself to go because of him and yet when he's gone, the darkness isn't and she's left to confront and process her own part in the trauma he's wrought in her life.The book is beautiful in a completely unique way, the writing is wonderful, the story is haunting and gut wrenching. It's an amazing and worthy read.
