Book Review #11 : Dark Romance, Baby Doll

Blurb

Ellard Delwyn Osbert. A 37-year-old adult man who is cold-blooded and lives a perfect life full of wealth. He is the leader of the world's largest arms dealer mafia. His ruthlessness made all his enemies think twice about challenging him.

However, not many know that he has the opposite nature of his. He could be very gentle and affectionate towards his little angel, Eleanore Cathleen, a beautiful woman twenty years his junior.

Ellard used various ways to make Elea happy and to grow love in the girl's heart. Can Ellard marry Elea on a lie he has built? Then, what will he do if Elea finds out about his cruel work?

I will say that this novel for 18+ cause Baby Doll contained a violence (of course these book about a mafia life.) and there's a bed scene who's very clearly narrated. It's not recommend for teenagers, and don't think about my age! I'm clearly an adult one. Hahaha...

Speaking of which, I get this book from my virtual friend. She has opened a giveaway in her social media, and don't know why when I said that I want this book, she directly sent to me.

This is called, the power of orang dalam!

What I Like And Dislike About This Novel

I Dislike

These novel has a unique story, but to be honest I dislike the story which's talking about a man and a girl who have huge age gap. Even in real life, I'm also dislike. Yeah, I hate how author create the story about the character in these book. First, the main male is not real, it's exist in our imagination, the main female too. She has be depicted as unlucky girl but in fact she is lucky girl. I have no favorite character in this novel. And I can't catch what messages that the author want to convey through this novel. This novel is just for entertainment I thought. It's fit for girl with big imagination and like to hallucinating.

I Like

I like the technic of the author written this story. She has unique way to telling the story. The setting of this novel is in America and the style of language spoken is very great. She has written with formal language so I felt like I'm read a translation book.

She has made the each character are very clear, like where does this character come from, how the visual of each character. All character are very strong and lifelike.

She's succeed to make her audience imagine each character and each scenes. The fight scenes, the romance scene, and the bed scene are like real. Even I damn clearly imagine the bed scene, I don't know how to say it that I become addicted to the bad scene. Then I curious about the age of the author.

In other that, I like the cover. It's so simple but really nice to see.

I rate this novel with 3 star from 5 star. The 3 star is for how the author telling the story that I liked.

A Little About The Author

Baby Doll was written by Atika with full name Siti Nur Atika. She's come from South Sumatera, It's same island with my hometown, and if you see in the map, North and South Sumatera was near. *Smirk.

As I read the profil of Atika in the end of novel, she has published 5 books which's the theme about Fantasy and Dark Romance. Baby Doll was her first dark romance. She wish her novels would be remember by her audiences and she wish she's go international one day.
