Mistress of the Dark, Sephera Giron
TITLE: Mistress of the Dark
AUTHOR:Sephera Giron
WHAT'S IT ABOUT?:Meet Abigail Barnum. She’s new in town, eager to make it big in New York. Hers is the darker side of the city. Her friends are strippers and drag queens, and she works as a waitress in a tourist bar with a back room that’s definitely for adults only. But the most important thing about Abigail is…she’s deadly.
Abigail has gone insane. Voices and hallucinations are drawing her deeper and deeper into her own world, a world of obsession and pain, seduction and murder. Few suspect just how dangerous Abigail is, but one woman knows her grisly secret. As Abigail descends into madness, can anyone she touches ever hope to be safe?
I just happened to come across this in the library while browsing for something new. Written in the first-person the reader gets to see how Abigail's mind deteriorates with time. The prose style isn't spectacular and is rather blunt, but it won't leave you grinding your teeth either. The sex is bizarre at times, but I think how she obsesses over the Johnny Depp look-alike is creepier. It also messes with your head a bit as you are reading it. Overall I enjoyed reading this and would like to have my own copy of it.
