I have to say as a writer... I think this is BRILLIANT! It may suck as a story, but it doesn’t matter. It grabs your attention and the first step of getting someone to buy your book is getting them to read, and remember, your back cover.

It sounds dreadful... and will probably be a bigger hit for Avon.

It’s actually a very popular genre. I have a bookaphile who calls it ‘Weird Fantasy Romance.’ I think the official subgenre is Paranormal Romance.

Kind of like this headline from the campaign:

Romance novels are porn for women.
This one is likely written by a very confused and mentally escapist author, but understandable.

This is not to attack you, but as a writer I have to say that this is biggest pant-load of crap I’ve ever seen on the back of a book. The idea that a word abortion like this gets published is a travesty to writing and assault on literary sensibility.

On the other hand, the description does serve it’s purpose. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I would not spend two-cents or two seconds on this verbal bile.
