Fasten Your Seat Belt, It's Going to Be a Bumpy Ride,
By
This review is from: RATTRAP (Paperback)
Having read and thoroughly enjoyed Sarah's stories online I couldn't resist trying her first book, despite the fact that I read very few novels, don't care for violence, and have no particular interest in sports. But it was like getting on a wild carnival ride, once you got into this story, there was no way you were leaving until the ride was over. Be prepared for twists and turns and bumps in the road. Sarah will keep you guessing with her rapid fire short chapter style.
And be prepared to meet some larger than life characters along the way. There are enough bad guys to populate three novels. But for those of us that have witnessed examples of celebrity "justice" in action in recent history, this book will land a little close to home. Sex, professional sports, the criminal justice system, race, gangs, there doesn't seem to be a topic that Sarah is afraid to tackle head on. Where one so young gets the knowledge and confidence to do so and make the book believable and real is beyond me but more power to her. I know that Sarah's goal is to be a full time writer and I think she's well on her way. What a great first book. She's almost converted me to become a novel reader; at least when her second book comes out and I hope that's soon. Bravo Sarah, I just hope you will still have some time to titillate your online story fans as well.

Amazing story - typical of Sarah,
By Chris (Cemmaes) (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: RATTRAP (Paperback)
I've read Sarah's erotic fiction online, which was the major driving force for buying her book. I was not disappointed. I love detail in stories, and Sarah is as detail oriented an author as I've read in a long while.
The chapters are fast-paced, and the plot moves quickly. You become immersed in the story, and before you know it, you've finished the book! There are twists and turns, plenty of erotic dialogue, and a great "bad guy". I recommend this book if you're looking for all of the above, and I'm anxiously awaiting her next work. Great job, Sarah!

In order to defeat evil, you must understand the nature of evil.,
This review is from: RATTRAP (Paperback)
"In order to defeat evil, you must understand the nature of evil." This is a profound and demanding statement that occurs several times in Sarah's first novel. In many important ways it is a summary of the novel. Over the course of the novel, the reader is given the chance (choice?) to understand not only the `greater evil' of the main villain, but also the `lesser evils' of the various characters in the novel. The novel also wrestles with the idea that perception creates reality.
RATTRAP as a story can be read on many levels, from the erotic novel to a philosophic discourse on the nature of evil and thus should appeal to a very diverse audience. The novel also contains many vignettes that will amuse, arouse, disgust, enlighten, and entertain. This one of the most intense and believable novels I've read in a very long time. I look forward to reading Sarah's next novel!
