"Kirkus Indie Review"

"Levy debuts with an elegiac novella featuring a troubled young narrator on a dangerous journey to satisfy his needs for control and sexual vengeance... The action in Nice, plaited with flashbacks and stand-alone poems, is elliptical and intense. Like Patricia Highsmith's infamous Ripley, the narrator insinuates himself into situations and relationships, becoming both an object of desire and revulsion... Levy's laconic style is often very effective in this ambitious, chilling tale of psychopathology and exploitation."

Author's Note: This was my first professional review and it's a nice one. I especially liked the use of the word "elegiac" in the first sentence and the reference to Patricia Highsmith's Tom Ripley.
