themes)
“Losing her mind wasn’t an experience she enjoyed.”
After a steamy night of passion with a dark stranger, Arbor’s life takes on a
surreal edge. Disturbing dreams, lapses in memory, and entire buildings going
missing are only a few of her problems. Her search for answers leads her to
Detective Trey Murphy, the man in charge of investigating satanic and
ritualistic crime for the New Orleans’ area. Where do you turn when your mind
is the enemy? Meeting Trey only adds to Arbor’s confusion. By day, he keeps her
captivated and gains her trust in a way no one else ever has. At night, Arbor’s
every fantasy is brought to life by two sexy men who steal away her
inhibitions. Torn between what her heart knows is real and what her eyes show
her, Arbor must find the truth before she loses herself completely. But then
again, sometimes reality is more twisted than any dream and love is the
cruelest form of insanity.

Note** Warning: This isn’t your typical love story. It’s dark with scenes some
may find disturbing. Sometimes love is senseless, and the heart is so very
stupid.

MY REVIEW
This book is both trippy and mesmerizing;
alluring and mystifying and will leave you completely enamored.
Okay so I need to be honest at first I was a bit confused with some of what was
going on in the story. The plot in this book is very unique and it is equally
told in a unique fashion that takes some getting used to.
Its very dream like and in some ways you feel like you are floating through
parallel periods of time. Time that is all compounding on top of each other and
there is this point where all those timelines will meet and everything will be
explained. I felt like I was constantly being pulled towards this light at the
end of the tunnel, if you will, that would make everything that happened in
this story make sense. And it in fact did.
Parkerson created a very deeply emotional paranormal story and despite some of
the very intense erotic and 'wholly molly' steamy parts in this book, I don't
think any of that detracted from the story. If anything it enhanced the
intensity of the emotions that were being felt by the characters. There was
something so beautiful about the relationship between the four individuals in
this story, something so compelling, so strong yet so fragile all at the same
time. I loved the way Parkerson relayed some of the most tender moments between
Killian, Lyric, Trey and Arbor on paper. They were full of compassion, love and
heartbreak. I even found myself breathless at times reading the emotion behind
Parkerson's words and visualizing how these characters would be completely
enraptured with one another.
If you want a completely different kind of paranormal/erotic story then this is
your book. I really loved this story and I thought the ending was both moving,
passionate and perfect.
EXCERPT
“I thought you were with the band,” he said as he lifted his coffee to his lips. It was the only way he could think to open the topic for discussion. Not that he cared, of course. She’d called him. It was a start. If there was a line he wouldn’t cross when it came to getting what he wanted—namely, her—he hadn’t yet seen it. Deep longing for something out his reach was a familiar weight. Her eyes never left the dessert menu. He knew she wasn’t really seeing it because her gaze remained fixed to one spot. “With the band,” she repeated, sounding wry and making him wonder if he’d insulted her. “That would require knowing where they are,” she added so quietly Trey assumed it was meant more for her than him. With a shake of her head, Arbor met his stare. For a split second, Trey was rendered mute. Everything around them disappeared. It punched him in the chest. She possessed something other people did not. “What about you?” Her question didn’t make as much sense as it might have if she wasn’t affecting his brain function. “I’m not with the band,” he said automatically, pulling a ghost of a smile from her. “You’re a cop,” she said, helping him along. “Detective actually.” He wasn’t trying to be a dick. It was more that he’d worked hard to get where he was. She set her elbows on the table. A playful light entered her eyes. “What do you detect?” “Satanic and ritualistic homicides.” Huh. She didn’t even flinch. “I wasn’t aware there was such a high number of those types of murders that it required a special title. Are you the only one or is there an entire division?” Against his will, Trey’s lips twisted. “Unfortunately, there is a need for such a title. There’re three of us. I’m not sure it counts as an entire division. Louisiana is a hotbed of all things satanic and ritualistic. You’re likely to run across anything here.” Her gaze moved over his face, but her expression remained blank. “You do look tired.” Before he had time to react, she added, “I’ll have to take your word on the matter. I only moved here two weeks ago.” He opened his mouth to ask more. Instead, something entirely different popped out. “You’re beautiful.” She blinked. Her surprise evident. There was no way she was as shocked as he was. He hadn’t meant to say it. It was true, of course, but it had still slipped past his lips without his permission. “Thank you.” Arbor’s response sounded more questioning than automatic. He snorted. She blushed. The sight fascinated him. Their knees brushed making Trey realize somehow, he’d moved his chair closer to hers.
