Dark Obsession

by P.J. Fox

When the young and lovely Charlotte Dane arrives at Wrest Park, she's unprepared for what she finds. She's been hired as a nanny to the ten-year-old heir of a vast fortune. But inside the dark, forbidding mansion hide greater mysteries than what might have happened to his mother. There is her charge's uncle, a man who seems to be the epitome of charm and whose confinement to a wheelchair after a terrible accident seems little hindrance. There is his wife, who seems carved from ice. There is his brother, who's often seen digging in the yard. And then there is his son, her charge's cousin. Thorn March is both dynamic and arrogant, a man who drives himself and his many cars with equally reckless abandon. Charlotte learns quickly that he seems to possess every room he enters-and every person in it. But even as she finds herself irresistibly attracted to him, she has to wonder if he truly is who, and what, he appears. Because, inescapably, she's also forced to conclude that someone wants her young charge dead. Someone in this family. Is it Thorn? He's handsome, sardonic, and dark. From the first she senses some perverted twist to his nature. He's an enigma, and a compelling one; but is he a murderer, as well?

About the author

P.J. Fox published her first story when she was ten. Between then and the present moment, she detoured to, in no particular order, earn several degrees (including a law degree), bore everyone she knew with lectures about medieval history, get married, and start a family. She realized, ultimately, that she had to make a go of this writing thing because nothing else would ever make her happy.

This is the first time i heard of P.j Fox and reading her book and i hope it wont be my last. I am awed with her writing. This book make me sit and relax with full focus how the story goes. Dark Obsession tells about Charlotte, a 19 years old,had been raised by the nuns- where she came from. She was hired by the old family of March to look after a an orphan boy named Phillip. The place she went it is quite cryptic and huge like a palace. She met her employer,husband and wife, workers and of course Phillip.

Even though she never has any experience being a nanny, but it seems she did well with Phillip. She had encounters many weird things that happen. At the same time she met the owners olders son, Thorn. Who is handsome and sweet. Both Charlotte and Thorn develop a feelings towards one another. I personally like how Charlotte and Thorn can quote things that i never read of some historic that both of them learned and it is fascinating coming from a 19 years old girl with such knowledge.

Mysteries came along and it does jeopardize Phillip's life. And so it begin. There are many new words i never heard of and it is fascinating to learn. But i do hope there are more to the ending but alas,if the author think that the ending is just good like that. I am ok with it and just add a little imagination here and there. Hail to PJ and cant wait to read more about her books!

OK, This cover says NOTHING about the book. Nothing. The cover of "Sound of Music" would be more apropos than this, wink. I'd classify this under Romance/Horror-Thriller, and loved it. Haven't read a bad PJ Fox yet.

Not as dark as I had first expected, but overall a good read.
