The Dark Obsession by N.A Preedy

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


A romantic suspense thriller with a celestial twist.

Rosa meets Dale at the library, sparking an instant attraction that quickly bubbles into passion.

The following day, Rosa is offered a new job at a prestigious law firm, assisting senior partner Rafael Alcazar.

As Rosa's world shatters with the realisation Dale is not as he seems, leaving her and her entire family in danger, she finds herself under Rafael's protection; a vow he will stop at nothing to keep.

'The Dark Obsession' is the debut novel by N.A. Preedy. We meet law graduate Rosalie “Rosa” Lockwood, dreaming of finding love and preparing to embark on her career. Feisty and ambitious, and still possessing the naivety of youth that's both endearing and dangerous, she is astonished to find her dreams appear to be coming so quickly to fruition with her lover, Dale, and new boss, Rafael. Preedy cleverly subverts our expectations of these relationships in the early chapters. An intense connection of burning desire and affection that we believe may be a meeting of soul mates soon reveals itself as the superficial skin of manipulation, as Rosa falls victim to a narcissistic, obsessive stalker.

Rafael Alcazar is an intriguing and mysterious character, with power and influence that extends beyond his position as a prestigious private attorney. Unofficially assisting police with their enquiries, with apparent free access to police premises, he assigns himself supporter of grieving families and protector of the abused. The narrative is peppered with hints and clues that he is far more than he seems; intense and empassioned, his emotion for Rosa quickly becomes his defining focus, wishing to save her while battling his desire for her.

With a fast-paced plot, multiple twists and action sequences, the threat to Rosa and those around her increasing at every turn as her stalker becomes increasingly vile and volatile, the narrative dances with danger and romance, exploring the characters' flaws and hidden desires, flirting with Rosa and Raphael's need to consummate their relationship. But Rafael hides a secret, one that answers those mysterious questions and leaves us with many more as the final revelation plays out and we discover his true nature.

Thrilling and emotional, 'The Dark Obsession' is a suspenseful debut novel, leaving us excited to delve deeper into this world of ethereal justice.
