Really, this premise make any horror or Literary writer salivate. Such potential. How do you wreck that potential? Make her naked. Have her be responsible for the death by accidentally kicking him in some magic sea-breath zone. Spend forever turning a magazine into an implausible straw. Give her a daddy complex. Really, it ruins itself. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/147818?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
