Wanda Karriker, 2003, 439 p.
I barely started this one. It’s horribly written. Here are the first two sentences: “Startled awake. Knowing what the face of the clock will read before she looks.” What the hell? They’re incomplete, and the 2nd sentence is grammatically incorrect. I hate, hate, hate bad grammar, so I shut this with a resounding snap about 15 pages in.
It’s a fictional account of repressed memories of childhood sexual abuse. I should’ve known it would suck when I read the verso page and the dedication which both mention “unwitting initiates into organized evil.” That’s a stupid turn of phrase. Don’t get me started!

LOL!! That’s sounds like a wonderfully horrible book. I’ve never heard of it, but if I should ever see it I’ll know not to touch it with a ten foot pole.

The funny thing is, I read wonderful reviews of it on Amazon, which is why I interlibrary loaned it. Thank God it was only a library book and not one that I spent my hard-earned money on! There’s nothing more annoying than buying a crappy book!

its not a literary novel. its an account of what happens when someone experiences what you in your nice cotton wool, comfy, naive life has thankfully never gone through
