"It was deep, poetic, sweet, romantic, breathtaking, beautiful, hilarious, heartbreaking, mind-blowing... It made me laugh. SO MUCH! It made me cry too. A lot." "I was in love with love". While reading, I nearly opened a bottle of wine to compliment this book, but decided against it as there was no need. This was much more than a romance novel. It also contained spiritual, mythical components and no one part outweighing the others." "... deftly blends Western belief with Eastern philosophy in telling her story of a love that could as easily be part of a classic romance of the 19th century as it is current." "I was really blown away by this one. I highly recommend reading it... I couldn't put it down" "A beautiful and passionate love story." "The superb writing ties in classic literature, poetry, humor, and philosophy, to a fascinating supernatural romantic storyline." "I was eaten, plain and simple. It felt like being burned alive, like every cell in my body was exploding. Then everything stopped -- my breathing, my heart, my pain." Eighteen-year-old Alexa Wyndham is a painfully sheltered girl from Brooklyn with a mysterious past. She is an innocent in every sense of the word. Her views of the world are formed from the poetry and literary novels she reads. Now on her own at a Manhattan college, she finds the big, bad city is just literally waiting to eat her alive. A stunning kiss from a stranger nearly ends her life. Her would be lover is after her flesh. It contains a most powerful energy, and the supernatural creatures of the city are willing to do anything for a taste of it. Alexa's only hope of survival is Cristien La Roche, a monster, a medieval knight, and a man tormented by his past. Alexa is everything he desires, but with a touch that can kill, he is just as likely to take Alexa's life as he is to save her. Cristien is damned if he helps her and damned if he doesn't. Even if he can save Alexa once or save her a hundred times from those who seek her power, he still won't be able to protect her from her own deadly date with destiny. Together, Alexa and Cristien will have to answer the question, "Is Love stronger than Death?" The Innocent is more than a love story. It is a brilliantly imagined and poignant modern-day fairy tale and allegory about love, the loss of innocence and coming-of-age. Reminiscent of Paulo Coelho's "The Alchemist", The Innocent is a about a young woman's spiritual journey. It is heartbreaking as it is humorous, thought-provoking as it is uplifting. It masterfully retells the myth of Cupid and Psyche and teaches the wisdom of forgiveness, the nature of suffering, the illusion of evil and the power of true love and following your own heart. It will take star-crossed lovers Alexa and Cristien from suffering to heroism, from hatred to forgiveness, from Death to Life. It will teach them to see beyond the skin to the beauty within us all. A truly unique and spiritually powerful read. See where it will take you...
