Jagdlied by Dolly Gray Landon

The very fabric of her being is coming undone. She has always lived such a sheltered life, she is not ready for the massive shift that is about to take place in her life. The socialite is heiress to a fortune earned through investments and work at a multinational. She is faced with all sorts of questions about life and even touches on the possibility of a world without art. This princess will learn a few things the hard way. She will be bruised and knocked around a few times but then such is life. 

The author has skillfully crafted a tale of sour love, questionable characters, jealousy and revenge. The story is told vividly and imaginatively. It is a thrilling literary ride through the protagonist’s experiences as a princess whose castle is falling apart by the brick. On one hand, you feel bad for her but on the other you would rather not bother. This quality leaves the reader so gloriously torn between the characters of the book. Not to mention glued to the pages as the story unfolds. 

This story is told in an unusual tone. A tone that is quite indescribable but is quite fitting for the story and characters therein. The grammar is impeccable. The sentences are artfully crafted with relatively simple language. The reader will find themselves quite easily drawn into the story. The unusual tone and a touch of simplicity for the complex plot are welcoming and appealing. They beg the reader to read just one more page. To find out what happens next and then next. The term- page turner- was coined for this book. 

The characters are well developed. Each has a quality that the reader will identify with. There is a certain intrinsic quality that just makes the characters quite lovely to dabble with. A certain ‘je ne sais quoi’ so to speak. This quality in the character development is consistent throughout the book. It makes it so hard when the book comes to an end. The trio really did a good job with this. Character development, if properly one can turn even a dud story into the most enchanting tale. The plot f this book is not a dud. Double win for ‘Jagdlied’.

This book is quite dirty. It is sex-crazed, for luck of a better word. For the conservatives, better brace yourselves. You will hate how much you enjoy the erotic quality of this book. Rarely does a book possess so many winning qualities. Humor, drama, erotica, tragedy and all those other lovely qualities. But, this book does. All delivered with expert craftsmanship and a generous dose of thrill. The erotica maybe a little strong for some but if read with an open and relaxed mind, this quite the enjoyable ride. Think of those hilarious old movies with dirty jokes and witty lines. Five stars out of five.
