Hypnotherapist, Ellen O’Farrell, has fallen in love with
widower, Patrick. The problem? He has a stalker, Saskia. His
ex-girlfriend follows him around, sends him texts, and just won’t leave him a one. This does not scare Ellen. It intrigues her. She wants to meet Saskia, what she doesn’t
know is that she already has. The
stalker is one of Ellen’s clients.
This was an easy book to read and get into. The dialogue
was natural and easy to follow.
Even easy to feel as if you are part of the conversation. By the end of Patrick and Ellen’s date where
she learns of the stalker I was needing to know who the stalker was and how
Ellen would handle it. I had more fear
of Saskia than Ellen and Patrick seemed to have. This bothered me. Especially due to the fact that Patrick has a
son, Jack, who was also being followed by Saskia. I wanted Patrick to go to the police and file
charges to be a man and get his life back, and to keep his family safe. He needed to step up and protect the ones he
loves.
I really enjoyed that this story was told from two point of
views. Ellen’s and Saskia’s views were
so opposite while telling of the same event.
Ellen’s curiosity about Saskia intrigued me. I am not sure that I could be as calm as she
was if I was in the same situation. I
felt pity for Saskia, which was something none of the other characters in the
book felt for her. Saskia needed help,
major help, and everyone seemed to feel that if they ignored her she would go
away.
The Hypnotist’s Love Story was a creative story with some
dark moments. I truly enjoyed it and
will recommend it to all my friends.
