9 1/2 Weeks meets Terminator in ARTIFICIAL, the new erotic thriller by acclaimed creator Maria Llovet (Crave, Violent Flowers, All The Things We Didn't Do Last Night).
When you see Maria Llovets name in a book, you know what to expect. Plenty of interpersonal drama, complicated relationships and incredible erotic moments between unlikely people. It did not take long for the story to build up to its main conflict. The anticipated malfunction of the android date. Finally, everything must go downhill from here. I for one cant wait to see this trainwreck of a love triangle between 2 humans and an android. Read Full Review
The danger inherent in the android IS brought to the page with a degree of menace. Lovets challenge moving forward is going to lie in the tricky nuances of romance-vs-horror as things get gradually more and more complex between Lila, boyfriend and android. Its kind of a strange conflict that could easily turn into inadvertent comedy of Llovet isnt careful. It DOES seem like Llovet has a solid grasp of nuanced characterization, though. Theres a good chance that its going to turn-out quite well. Read Full Review
