About this ebook

When Dr. David Black takes an internship at a very old psychiatric hospital back home in Alabama, he vows two things—that he will be a better husband to his beautiful and loving wife Pria, and that he will stop cheating on her.
Then his enigmatic supervisor Dr. Cassie Allen, a self-proclaimed witch with ties to the underworld, begins to draw him into her darkness. David finds it hard to resist her wicked sensuality, but even harder to resist her evil pull.
As strange and violent deaths pile up left and right, David realizes that Cassie’s psychotic behavior is connected to the mysterious hospital itself. There, a demonic force threatens to destroy everything that David holds dear—his wife, his family, even his very sanity.

    Circe. Jesssica Penot. 2011. What a strange book. It is set in at the old Searcy Hospital in Mount Vernon, Alabama, hence the title! There is a quote at the beginning of each chapter and a strange word which is a rune. Although they are Norse in origin, runes apparently serve a function in magic and witchcraft. The narrator is Eric Black, a self-important, snob. He and 2 other psychologists begin their internship at Circe. Black volunteers to work in the worst ward with a strange director .Suspense bills but you know terrible things will happen at the hospital and with Black and his wife. I have “outgrown” supernatural books and movies, but I really enjoyed the descriptions of Mobile and surrounding areas in the book. Violence

    I ask to read this book because it reminds me a little bit about a mental hospital that is near me. Granted the hospital near me does not has the strange history that Circe has it still has some weird history. The mental hospital near me actually has documentation where they would offer $50 dollars and a 50 pound sack of potatoes to people that brought in others that needed help. I wonder how many people were placed in the hospital that did not need to be there.

    Circe starts out with a young doctor and his wife. They are in up north while he is in college. He tells his wife that he has taken an internship at a hospital in Alabama. She is so happy to get back to their home state. She wants to be with her large family. I do not have a large extended family however I can understand why she wants to move back home. Considering I have lived in one stop my whole life, I know where she is coming from.

    David is not your average male. He likes to have meaningless sex when women. He just enjoys having sex with any woman that he meets. It does not seem like he has any requirements in the women he meets and wants to have sex with, this is not an erotic book. The few sex scenes in the book are minor. However they do add to David’s character.

    I honestly do not understand why any wife would put up with a husband that cheats. It does not matter if it is meaningless sex. It is still cheating. However Pria, must either have low self-esteem thinks that she has to have him not matter what David does. To me I got the feeling that Pria felt her life would be meaningless without David as her husband.

    This book has a paranormal twist, some mystery with a little sex and voodoo thrown in. The author of this book states that she is a therapist and actually worked at the hospital that this book is based on. To know that there is a place like this hospital close to me makes me want to search and hopefully make visit to see this amazing place. I loved the plot and even the characters. They may be a little mental however they felt real to me while reading. The author did an amazing job while taking a little bit of history and turning it into a fictional novel.

    Thanks for a great read Jessica.
