Editoral Review
Speel met mij by Indigo Bloome is a novel published on July 5, 2012, that falls under the romance and erotica genre. The author, Indigo Bloome, is a well-known Australian author who has penned down several acclaimed books in the genre of romance.
The book is set in Amsterdam and is about a woman named Alexandra Blake, who is struggling with the monotony of her everyday life. It all changes when she meets a mysterious man named Jeremy Quinn, who introduces her to the world of BDSM (bondage, discipline, sadism, and masochism).
Alexandra’s journey into the world of BDSM leads to several unexpected twists and turns, and the novel builds up to a climax that leaves the reader wanting more. Bloome’s writing is top-notch, and the character development and pacing of the book are excellent.
The novel is not your typical romance novel, and Bloome’s storytelling is sophisticated and masterful, making it a standout piece in the genre. In Speel met mij, Bloome addresses several themes prevalent in society today, including themes of love, control, power, and femininity.
Bloome’s writing is compelling, and her characters are well-defined, making the reader invested in their stories. The book has its fair share of flaws, however.
The plot, while engaging, at times verges towards the predictable. The book also struggles with pacing issues, with some of the subplots feeling unfinished and rushed.
Additionally, while the sexual content of the book is a significant part of the narrative, it can be graphic and explicit, making it unsuitable for younger or more sensitive readers. Despite these flaws, Speel met mij is an exciting and engaging read.
Bloome’s writing is unparalleled, and her storytelling, while dealing with themes that can be challenging to navigate, is deft and skillful. The book brings a fresh perspective to the genre of romance, and Bloome’s portrayal of female sexuality is commendable.
Overall, the book is an excellent choice for those who enjoy the romance and erotica genre, and its themes and storytelling have relevance beyond just its genre. In conclusion, I would recommend Speel met mij by Indigo Bloome to readers who want to dive deep into a well-written romance novel with complex characters and themes.
The book may not be for everyone, given its explicit content, but for those who can handle it, Speel met mij is a journey worth taking. I give it a 4 out of 5 stars, with its minor flaws keeping it from receiving a perfect score.
