Normal by Graeme Cameron

5 Stars from me!

I grabbed this book on a whim while in Tesco and I’m so glad that I did! Normal is a brilliant read from start to finish and I have to confess I think I have a worrying crush on the main character who is quite unashamedly a sociopath.

I absolutely adored his character and also that of Erica, I felt that she could offer quite an interesting book of her own and was potentially a very suitable mate for him; although they’d both always have to sleep with one eye open. The other ladies in the book didn’t quite resonate in the same way.

I also really liked the ending although I would imagine some people may disagree – without giving anything away, I can totally see why it ended that way.

I will await with great anticipation the next book from Graeme Cameron.

Synopsis: This is a love story. No, really.

He lives in your community, in a nice house with a well-tended garden. He shops in your grocery store, bumping shoulders with you as you pass him and apologising with a smile. He drives beside you on the highway, politely waving to let you into the lane ahead of him.

What you don’t know is that he has an elaborate cage built into a secret basement under his garage. And the food that he’s carefully shopping for is to feed a young woman he’s holding there against her will–one in a string of many, unaware of the fate that awaits her.

This is how it’s been for a long time. It’s normal…and it works. Perfectly.

Then he meets the checkout girl from the 24-hour grocery. And now the plan, the hunts, the room…the others. He doesn’t need any of them anymore. He needs only her. One small problem – he still has someone trapped in his garage.

Discovering his humanity couldn’t have come at a worse time.
