It’s so effectively done that when you land it’s jarring, were it not for the fact that I really appreciated the aspect of surreality and chaos, I would have felt it to be a very awkward element in style. You are supposed to feel as confused and lost as Aimee. I read some reviews on Goodreads and Amazon of people who really did not like it because it is very disorienting and hectic. She really leaves them challenged by almost everything except for smurfs and tie-fighters although if Hades could have made those into demons and sent them their way I think she might have worked them in too.Ībout the first 30% of the book actually mind-screwed me, and it’s intentional.

Walters brilliantly throws everything in their way. Roric has been cursed for 5,000 years and Aimee is about to set him free and when she does they will have twenty-four hours to break his curse or both their souls will be forfeit. However in the light of day the only thing that really seems to stand out once the images fade is a white tiger who watches over her and a man she knows is connected to that pretty putty-tat. If I had to condense a description of what the beginning of this book is like I would say–imagine Dante’s Inferno, a hodgepodge of Bosch art, the TV show Carnivale, and Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark Hunter Series–put them all together, stir them up, shake that upside down, now add a little kitten tail and some mythologically screwed up comics and you get the world as it’s known to Aimee and Roric.Īimee Horner is a recluse and she lives in a fantasy world which has been fed in the recent months by terribly macabre nightmares which have been far too real for her own liking. Walters is the first book I have read by this author, despite finding she has written more books than the phone book has Smiths, and it was A-mazing. Night of the Tiger (This book is free for Kindle at this time) by N.J. I found this book in my Amazon recommendations and I usually get the weirdest recommendations from Amazon so when I read the synopsis and it sounded good I sort of figured that Amazon must have screwed up and sent me someone else’s book suggestion. The book I chose for my Makin’ the Love Monday is something that I actually read a few weeks ago but I loved it and it is deservin’ of the kudos–so here is it’s red ribbon reward and all.

I am exhausted and it’s the beginning of the week, my list of things to do is just being made and I already want a break.
