This review is from: Black Ambrosia (Paperback)

I first read this book about 15 years ago and was immediately drawn into the main characters world of isolation, wandering and self discovery. As time went on, 12 years later, I picked up the book again and discovered the story from a different angle. The author's use of character point-of-views at the end of each chapter bring an added spin to each chapter and help to set up key points in the next chapter an so on.
The main character goes from a young social outcast woman to a near nosferatu character.
But as it ends, it leaves you with the hope that there will eventually be a sequel, much like the end of Fight Club, by Chuck Palahniuk.
