Review of Damon's Lilies  Open in new Window.
Review by D J OReilly Author IconMail Icon
Rated: 18+ | (4.5)
It's nice and spooky. I like the way you tease the reader with little hints that set up the finale- the mention of Damon's mother in particular made me think this was going to be disturbing, while, from the start, him going through the girl's purse hinted that something was wrong.

The physical description's very good- giving a strong insight into the character's mindset, and quite uncomfortable at times, "He could feel little droplets of warm fluid spreading on the front of his boxers", in particular. All I'd worry about is there might be a repetition of certain words, there seems to be a bit too much 'pink', for example, and maybe too many 'lilies'.

I also like the way you're never entirely sure whether the girl is asleep, dead or drugged. I think this is a nice touch as, to the lead character, presumably this is a matter of indifference.
