Negative Positive
Title: Somewhat dark, but characters are too two-dimensional, and do stupid things
Review: Susan Andersen's "Obsessed" is about a cop bent on finding a rapist who carves a broken heart onto his victims, and the spitfire ER doctor who is caught in the middle. While Ivy Pennington and Vincent D'Ambosino fight and then fall in love, the rapist becomes more and more fixated on Ivy, and will stop at nothing to be close to her. Vincent finds out, and tries to portect Ivy, but both do incredible stupid things, and it leads to a climax where the rapist and Ivy are alone in her apartment. The characters are flawed, but too much time is spent on their flaws, and Andersen seems afraid to reveal the rapist full pathology as we never learn who he has an eternal grudge against.
