Reactions and Reviews

Continuing the storyline begun in Legacy of Love and The Mirror of Our Dreams, D/V have become closer and yet farther away than ever. Open to each other with a fully functional two-way rapport (when D doesn't block it) since an equivocal but intense dreamlike erotic experience deep Below at the end of the previous book, they are separated by the concerns each of them has about losing control. V doesn't want to subject D to the Other or to the intense emotions of killing; D doesn't want V to share her descent into darkness as she tries to locate a man and his accomplice who have been brutally raping women and leaving them in abandoned buildings to die of exposure. But neither can keep out of it when a helper's granddaughter is the one abducted by the rapist duo. And they can't avoid what happens when D acts as bait to trap her wily and brutal opponent.

Parts of this exciting tale may be upsetting to some, but it's good psychology and good storytelling from first to last. Though no age statement is required, know that some of the story's action leans heavily on the upper limit of PG-13 for both sex and violence.

Includes head-note poems by the author and by Nan Dibble. Handsome artwork by the author, Rosemarie Hauer, and Jan Durr; cover by pro artist Kevin Barnes. [1]

An intense story of a case that draws Diana in far too deeply for Vincent to ignore. This is the closest I get to an R rating. There IS violence in this novel and the love scenes are more explicit...although I STILL don't "do plumbing." [2]
