5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the most fascinating books I've ever read,
By Hengda (NYC-Montreal) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ximena (Paperback)
This last book by Hillary Raphael is truly her best. Dark, sexy, very New York. The story is crazy cool, the characters weirdly believable, the style minimalist and lucid - like a piece of calligraphy. It flows. I couldn't put it down. I couldn't get Ximena and her world out of my head. Absolutely a must read for anyone with a taste for highly sophisticated suspence.

"Don't all killers secretly crave the designation serial?",

This review is from: Ximena (Paperback)
I am rarely able to take time to write amazon book reviews, but this is one of the few cases in which I am compelled to make the effort.
Having developed somewhat of a fetish for this author's prose after having read her first cult novel, I (HEART) LORD BUDDHA, which is now probably as near and dear to my heart as Ami Sakurai's INNOCENT WORLD, I could not help but feel the slightest bit afraid that I would compare this latest book to the other, like two lovers, and somehow find something wanting. To my relief, my expectations were vastly exceeded. I was even surprised by some of the twists and turns this plot takes. This is NOT your average revenge tale. It is refreshingly modern, original, thoughtful, and ultra-cool. Edgy and addictive, it stays in the system long after the pages stop. This author is a talent to be reckoned with. My only complaint is that I am impatient for her next manifestation.

This review is from: Ximena (Paperback)
This is Raphael's best book. Edgy, sexy, and gripping, it is as original as her other stuff, only way more readable. This would make an incredible movie.
