I am honestly out of words and have no idea what I could write that would describe my feelings for the way that L.J.Shen writes her stories.

There are so many things I would never touch when it comes to plots – trust me I have tons of triggers. Sometimes even I have no idea about them until I read something and think “Nope – NO WAY” – But then comes an author like this one here and I am not even blinking when I read about things that go so far beyond the point of “normal” that they should be located in another dimension. And I already define normal loosely by the standards of “hey this is a novel so its fiction right”

Bad things happen in this world and where you think “HOW?… I could never” … and then you read a plot like this and think … “YES … I understand!” sometimes even to the point of “I would help you with that” and no matter how dark something seems to be you really understand the motivation that moves the characters – you relate with them in some more or less twisted way.

I am not usually a person for dark romances as they would be called – again it’s only something I touch when an author that is special to me writes them. L.J. Shen is such an author .. She is a one-click for me to the point that I would not even check the plot before.

Her way with words is so rare and beautifully dark,
the way she digs her finger into the bottom of everything that humans are made of … it seems she is never afraid of anything. And every time you think there is no possible way she could find something new to push you out of your comfort zone – she does it again … and again…

I wish I had the chance to meet her – I would hug her and thank her for bringing things out in the open – showing them from all sides and pushing you ask yourself uncomfortable questions …
