\"chimera\"
\nA fascinating, engrossing tale\u2026<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Di Gregorio offers an absorbing dark tale that explores the twisted life of a young woman. Struggling with constant inner conflicts, Anna leaves her home in Montreal and settles in Vancouver. But her path to self-discovery takes her on a toxic journey of alcohol, drugs, sex, and murder, as a mysterious savage force overpowers her and drives her to do unimaginable things. Is Anna a mere victim? If yes, then who is the assailant? Di Gregorio portrays her protagonist with a sheer honesty and without glossing over rough edges or harsh truths: Anna is not a sympathetic character, but she\u2019s a worthy protagonist, carrying the weight of the story by herself. Di Gregorio\u2019s writing is assured and her prose precise as she skillfully leaves certain things to readers\u2019 imagination: readers will fill in the details and enjoy projecting themselves into Anna\u2019s story. Lovers of dark fiction will be pleased with this sinister tale. <\/span><\/span>
