Smashwords book reviews by Lea Ryan

  • Allesandra's Bequest on March 31, 2012
    star star star star
    Allesandra is haunted by her traumatic childhood and the death of her sister. She tries to get past the pain, even finding love, but is unable to find a way out other than death. This story is told in a nonlinear format. It begins with Allesandra battling her inner demons and her suicide, then jumps back to when she met her husband and goes from there. As her struggle evolves, we see it from both her perspective and her husband’s. Allesandra’s Bequest is a tragic story without many moments of hope. It’s a very dark and emotional work that’s well written. Interspersed throughout are song lyrics, which break up the story nicely.
