I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own. 

The book is a creepy little tale told in 3 parts titled (1) The Rose, (2) The Night and (3) The Mirror. In the book we follow a man named Julian as he arrives at his first real job away from home. He is employed by Mr. Victor Renault to home-school his children. He ends up having an affair that could cause scandal for his employer and is consequently fired and sent to work at the church. One thing leads to another and he ends up in the arms of a sex bot. Where it goes from there you will have to read for yourself.

Being under 100 pages, this was a fairly quick read. The writing itself was great. The story was ummm.. something else. I found it to be quite dark and morbid but very entertaining. The ending had me thinking “what did I just read?” and it's just left me dumbfounded. I was engaged from start to finish and I hated to put it down. This story has sex, humiliation, obsession and a completely messed up ending.

I think if you are into creepy weird reads that leave you stunned this might just be for you. If you get uncomfortable with creepy sex and messed up situations I probably wouldn't recommend this book for you. I, however, loved it.
