Title: Take her thesaurus away!
Review: Teri Jacobs smashes the reader over the head with her use of an overblown narrative style. Clearly she took every simple sentence, ran to her thesaurus and immediately substituted the longest word she could find. The novel is filled with purple prose that is supposed to sound lyrical but winds up reading like a grade-schooler's first try at poesy. Run-on sentences abound. If there's a plot to this novel I never got in enough to find out. I can tell you that the first half of the book is a mess of sexual images and hackneyed horror without any erotic or frightful content. Perhaps someone should inform the author that sometimes less is more. Good for a laugh and little else.
