Olivia Gaines's Reviews > The Deviant

King Chrysalis slow transforms from egg to caterpillar to butterfly and finally into an adult. Laveen’s writing is a full blown reader experience from a very personal introduction preceded by trigger warnings before you dive into the story. A well-rounded playlist sits in the rear of the book if you want to play along as you read. Laveen uses a wide brush to paint a broad stroke of wide details, narrowing down to minute flicks of the tip with even splatters of interest and depth. This book saturates the mind and palate with a cacophony of emotions taking you on a hot, seedy, a dark trip into the mind of a deviant. Well done.
