A modern day gothic!
10 Dec 2004
By Huntress Reviews
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This novel is based in New Orleans to Baton Rouge. As a young girl Nicolette Dazincort falls in love with Montgomery DeLande. Once of age, they marry and take a beautiful honeymoon. However, upon settling into married life Nicolette notices a change in her new husband. Montgomery develops a jealous side, bordering on the insane, when he takes her to meet his mother and brothers. As time passes, this odd behavior continues, usually whenever the brothers come to visit them. Even after they have children together Montgomery's jealousy continues and seems to be getting worse.
When Nicolette learns a devastating secret she realizes what she must do, even though it means she may never see her children or friends again.
***** This books reads like a modern day Gothic novel. I could not put the book down. I simply HAD to know what was going to happen next. The author developed the characters so well and vividly that I could feel Nicolette's pain. Highly recommended! *****

A Bad Man Is Hard To Get Rid Of
27 Jun 2004
By Louis N. Gruber
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Nicolette Dazincourt is a spunky, savvy girl, who knows her way around the backwoods of Louisiana, knows how to hunt and fish and take care of sick animals. She is thrilled when the handsome Montgomery DeLande shows an interest in her. She thinks she would give her soul to have him look at her. After their wedding and a whirlwind honeymoon in Paris she is taken to meet his family, and she begins to see another side of Montgomery--a dark and abusive side.
As the story unfolds, Nicolette finds herself trapped in an abusive marriage. But what will she do when she learns that Montgomery has been abusing their young daughters? And that his family, powerful and influential in the state, is immersed in a peculiar culture of sexual violence? And that no woman ever leaves a DeLande, at least not alive? You will have to read the book to find out what happens. If you pick it up, you will not be able to put it down.
Author Gwen Hunter writes brilliantly, drawing you quickly into the story. She creates wonderful female characters who will come alive for you--characters with grit and tenacity--women who fight for their lives against unbelievable odds. And men, both good and evil. And the atmosphere of South Louisiana. And the psychology of an abusive relationship from which the victim cannot break free. Sometimes the story is almost too graphic, too horrific. Sometimes the evil DeLandes are almost too evil, evil with no redeeming features. Still, the book works, and it is a spell-binding read. I recommend this one highly. (...)Reviewed by Louis N. Gruber.

By A Customer

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Oh my, oh my! An incredible adventure written by a master story teller. She is able to convey true evil, not just some "scary guys". I could not put this book down. I bought it used and am so grateful to Amazon for providing the means to acquire it. Hooray for Gwen Hunter!
