Just Excellent
11 March 2016
This is not my normal read and I think I said that after "Email from a Vampire" (excellent). I love how Nigel has your interest from the first page. We meet Sophia who is a concert cellist about to become engaged to Spencer, when her life is turned around by an horrific car accident. Her parents are disgusted at her behaviour - something/someone seems to take over her life, making her very promiscuous (to say the least). The front cover states "Sometimes your state of mind has a dark side" or "A story of love, loss and mania" and "an insanely addictive read" It's all this and more. Nigel has put a lot of research into this book and it's obvious throughout. Well done, roll on the next book

Good read but not all to my taste

I really enjoyed many parts of this book however I was not a fan of the ending. I will try not to give it away but I am usually a fan of dark novels and the ending was a little too predictable and happy for me!
Also, I was not so keen on the graphic sexual scenes but again, this is just a personal preference.
All in all it is a good and interesting story but due to the ending, I probably wouldn't rate it as one of my favourites.

never having read this author I bought the book based on the reviews ,and was not disappointed . Like everyone else I had to get through the first two chapters ,then the author leads you into the life of Sophia which at times can be a little manic !! the further into the book you get the more you need to know what happened next!! I couldn't put the book down , plus when you get to the last chapter your first thought is I didn't see that coming , a very good read .

Not the sort of book I usually go for, but it was free so I thought I would try it. I enjoyed it. Would recommend.

never read a Nigel Cooper book before, it was pretty boring to begin with, but once you get a way into it you wont want to put it down

A while ago since I read this one, but as far as I can remember it was a very good book and I would definitely read more by this author

When I started reading this ,it was a bit slushy romantic and I thought I would not like it ,however things change and it soon kicks in and becomes a very good read and totally absorbing. Being a Londoner and a musician ,I related to a lot of the places and references in the book ,which has been well researched ,even small details are accurately recorded . As to the story itself, I can relate to a very good friend who is a brilliant violinist and almost gave up playing through mental illness , so a very pesonal resonance with me on that score. I am happy to say that like Sophia, she is back on track with her career. The story itself is captivating, as you watch the self destruction of a very well brought up young lady with an exceptional gift, start to disintigrate and delve into the dark side of life and personality. Even at the depths of dispair, there are good things that happen along the way and maybe she would be a better person for the experiences that befall her in the course of time. Recap ...... An enjoyable read and a good holiday book .

As a Nigel Cooper fan (Email from a Vampire was addictive!) I really didn't expect to be gripped by Sophia, but I have to say I was, and read it within a few days!
I enjoyed getting to know Sophia from the beginning and felt I really knew her as I went further into the book. Her personality and it's many changes really kept me guessing and I needed to know what happened to her in the end.
Sophia was one of those books where you felt the character's emotions and, for me, I sometimes felt I related to her.
All in all, a very good read which keeps you guessing right until the end, and leaves you wanting to read it again!!

Once you get past the first couple of chapters that are very descriptive, this book is a good read and has a twist that you don't see coming.
