Transaction

 by Christian Guillerme, published on September 9, 2021 by Éditions Taurnada.


Her favorite quote:

"And even if this must last for long, very long years, you will always be my ultimate quest, the goal of my existence!"

Believe me, no one has ever wanted to meet you, touch you so much… Be sure that a painful death will be your real deliverance!

"


Why this book?

  • Because we are quickly trapped by the suspense

    and the tension of the story.

    The author raises the visceral fear generated by a stalking.

    He offers us shocking scenes, sometimes incredibly violent, a total immersion with devouring psychological tensions.

  • Because the storyline is relentless,

    an idea that will speak to many, rip off after being ripped off yourself, the idea is tempting and has touched many minds.

    The sprinkler watered for frightful cold sweats.

  • Because it is a thriller with undeniable effectiveness,

    not only a well-constructed, fast-paced and captivating narrative but also a relevant reflection on the consequences of our actions.

    Even if I grant you the revenge he and question about is a little extreme.

  • Because if the last chapter, brutal and extremely realistic,

    shakes us up emotionally, other chapters on friendship and the birth of love help us breathe a little.

    Because yes, with this novel, the breath is often likely to fail you.
