Insatiable Desire
Rita Heron
Reviewed by Ashley Merrill
Rita Heron does an amazing job at
creating a story that is
thrilling, sexy, and past faced. I read Insatiable
Desire in one sitting because I could not find an appropriate place
to put
it down. There was excitement on every
page and I found myself unwilling to walk away from that excitement.
Vincent is a complicated man.
In fact, he really isn’t fully a man; he is
part demon. His father was a demon, and
his mother was human. After witnessing
his mother’s death at the hands of his father when he was just a young
boy,
Vincent has blocked out most memories of that specific event and those
around
that time in his life. Now, years later, he is a detective and finds
himself
called back to his home town. There are
multiple murders taking place and the local psychic, Clarissa, thinks
the
murders are all connected. The spirits
of the dead girls are trying to tell her something and are crying out
for
help.
Vincent hasn’t seen Clarissa since he was a boy. Realizing fast that she is no longer an
awkward looking little girl, he finds himself lusting after her almost
immediately upon their reunion. He knows
he is a dangerous man and has desires inside of him that are animal
like and on
the verge of evil, so he vows to stay away from her. He finds this to
be a very
hard task because it is evident that she is attracted to him and he
cannot get
her off of his mind. Although Vincent doesn’t remember all of his past,
he does
remember a snap shot of his father telling him that he had bad blood
inside of
him.
Clarissa senses that Vincent may be the key in helping her
to solve this mystery. Young girls keep
showing up dead; and they are all dying at the hands of their greatest
fears. Clarissa senses that the killer
may not be human. She knows enough about
Vincent’s past to know that he is probably more connected in this than
he is
willing to admit.
Rita Heron has an amazing ability to create characters that
get under your skin and latch on and stay with you.
They are personable, intense, and
intriguing. She has a great skill with
her words. What I really enjoyed was the
fact that she was able to weave an intricate story that involves
everything
from romance, to demons, to mystery, to murder.
What I also love is the fact that Rita Heron leaves us at a
cliff hanger
which leads her readers to believe that the excitement is just
beginning and
there is much more to come. I would recommend this to anyone looking
for a
great read that will leave you captivated!
