Ah. I was drawn into the idea of the book at the start of your review, than you noted the sex scenes. Not my thing. Though I'll pass on this one, I liked your review.

Thank you Dael Reader. The sex scenes were a wet blanket!

I appreciate your reading and leaving a comment.

I guess you need to read the book to come face to face with hell! Allow me to give you one spoiler - the protagonists are not hurled into any fire!

Thanks for reading and giving feedback. Much appreciated!
Thank God they were not! I must read this one!

Espie wrote: 04 Nov 2018, 16:09 This piece seems to have plenty of entangling twists enough to threaten even the skills of a cat. Things could really be as complex as the myriad variations of perspectives and possibilities not perfectly reachable by the limited expanse of our psyche; thus, it's better to take things with a more open mind unless it's our job to do something more. Thank you for another exquisitely written review.
Lol! Enough twists to threaten the skills of a cat! I love that. Maybe you are the right person to explain to me why they say a cat has 9 Lives!

Thanks for stopping by and giving feedback! Much appreciated!
Thank you. I'm not supposed to be superstitious or anything, but I think it's good to be creative at times. I'd like to have a pet dog again someday, too, but I think I'm more of a cat person. I almost always encounter a cat in every important milestone of my life. As to our feline friends' multiple lives, there are heaps of explanations for the lore; I'd say it is to catch the other kind in the overall food chain. All creatures have a purpose, the bible and (even) science point to that fact. :tiphat:

Great review! It sounds twisty. The book cover page really got my attention. It really contributes to the content. Can't wait to finish reading it. Great review.

I just finished reading this book Cotwani, I love the imaginative cast of characters. However, I think the author focused much on erotic scenes. Also, the author was a bit shallow in describing Tamayo's Character. I like your review anyway

I also thought of the 10-days thing. Yet we were reading something like, Akira and Davon went for dinner... more than 15 times in the book. Also,Tamayo's scene was not properly portrayed.

Yes, the erotic scenes suddenly took over the book - at the cost of better character development as you note. Thanks for your comment.

I just reviewed this book as well and it was for the most part a good one. The characters are so well developed, that i could almost visualise them and this made me watch a YouTube trailer of the book. Great review.

This was an enjoyable read for me. I found it very intriguing for the most part and I especially love the character of Akira. Thanks for the great review.
