Enticing, deviant, obscure and obtuse, this story is anything but your average cup of joe.

The experience starts with the cover, pink and beautiful, (a benign-looking topless waif practically waving at you) yet somehow unsettling.  The theme carries to the back of the cover, where the bright pink is decorated with a swarm of cockroaches. 
I like it already.

This is a tangled love story, comprised of a lonely rich girl, and artist, the illuminati, sexual torture, and Stockholm's syndrome- where suddenly the victim becomes co-conspirator. It questions basic morals with complex dilemmas, in a twisted, upside down, Picasso kind of way.

Brilliant. Unsettling. Funny and Sickening.  I couldn't put it down.

Not for the faint of heart- But if you do choose to pick it up, read it and get over yourself already.  We live in a world of upside-down, topsy-turvy controversy, where I would not be surprised to find when my ticket is up, God greets me in the form of a giant, omnipotent, benevolent cockroach.

It's dark, It's different.  It's pleasantly sinister.  Muffy is 4.5 ravens out of 5.  READ IT!
