February 14 found me giving myself the best Valentine’s Day
gift possible – Mr. Dex Foray. And With
Madness Comes the Light is an Experiment in Terror Novella (6.5) that covers Dex’s
point of view of the events from the end of The Lying Season through to the end
of On Demon Wings. If you haven’t read
the Experiment in Terror series yet, STOP. RIGHT. NOW. And then… GO GET STARTED. Darkhouse is book
one, and it is free on Smashwords. This
series is incredible, one of my all time faves, and I haven’t had one person
read it that didn’t love it.
Now. The best part of And With Madness Comes the Light? It’s
Dex’s point of view. We get into that pervy and sarcastic mind of his,
discovering his true thoughts and feelings and, let’s be honest, falling even
more in love with the man. He is
deliciously tortured in this novella, more so than usual, and you will be his
by the end, I swear.
Karina has done an amazing job, as always, capturing the
thoughts and feelings of her characters.
The despair/anger/love/hate/depression/desire that is eating at Dex is
fully palpable – reading this I was taken back to the instances where I have
felt the same way, and those same feelings lived again with Dex. It was so true, so real – she has that pain
down perfectly.
For a novella, this packed in everything I need to be fully
satisfied by a book. Five stars, get it, read it, love it, ‘nuff said.
