Dancing With Demons

by Lucy Taylor

If you see someone across a crowded room to whom you're instantly attracted, RUN -- in the other direction!

Recovering alcoholic Jessie Tauber has heard that advice and chosen to ignore it, allowing the enigmatic Simon, with his penchant for secrecy and bondage games, into her life Simon seems conjured from her most erotic dreams--and most blood curdling nightmares.

Soon Jessie is enmeshed in a kind of follie a deux, as she and Simon make a terrifying trip across Colorado, throwing everything and everyone Simon sees as an obstacle to their twist love into dead peril

I am a huge fan of Lucy Taylor. This book deals with addictions and is intense. Very graphic in parts. Well worth a read.

Absolutely horrific and gut wrenching. I was uncomfortable and anxious the entire time. Which is exactly what I wanted. Don’t read this unless you truly want to be disturbed.

Not enough psychological complexity or insight into human nature to make the constant ugliness edifying or interesting. I liked the stuff about Jessie's alcoholism almost enough to raise this to two stars, but not quite.
