Genre: Suspense
Description:
“I didn't intend to kill a televangelist.
But once I met his wife, the rest felt inevitable.
Jordan Bramble makes a living spotting
weaknesses and exploiting them for profit. He applies pressure. He gets paid.
When he meets Seraphine Hale—the dangerously
beautiful wife of a rising Christian celebrity—he thinks he’s found his next
sexual conquest. Instead, he finds a ruthless partner in crime.
Together they hatch a deadly plan that will
turn a digital megachurch into the biggest religious phenomenon in America. All
it takes is a little seduction, a carefully staged tragedy, and a nation
desperate to believe.
But when the cameras turn on and the
donations start pouring in, Bramble realizes something unsettling: Seraphine
may be even more ruthless than he is.
A Ravishing Abomination is a fast, vicious
pulp novella about sex, faith, media manipulation, and the kind of ambition
that leaves bodies behind.
In every great con, someone eventually
becomes expendable.”
Author:
“Dutch Broadstreet writes dark pulp about crime, ambition, and the
people who turn catastrophe into opportunity.
He lives in his own private Sodom, somewhere in Upstate New York.”
Appraisal:
This is an interesting and very unique read. When a story involves two
or more parties, all plotting against another one, but none of those
involved are very good people, just evil in a different way, who do you root
for? I went for the party I’d view as the lesser of the evils. How things
actually shake out kept me engaged and wondering how it would end. (The answer
is … well, I can’t tell you. That would be a spoiler.) But this is a quick
read, so it won’t take you long to find out if you decide to give it a read
yourself.
