Dominic's Nemesis (44 page)

• Were you engaged immediately, or did it
take you a while to “get into the story?”

2. Is this a plot-driven book: a fast-paced
page-turner? Or does the story unfold slowly with a focus on
character development?

3. Were you surprised by the plot’s
complications? Or did you find it predictable, even formulaic?

4. Do the flashbacks enhance or take away
from the story? Why or why not?

5. In most traditional romance novels, the
story is told almost exclusively from the female/heroine’s point of
view. In Dominic’s Nemesis, the author spends a significant amount
of time in the Hero’s voice. What did you think? How does this make
you feel? Does it contribute to or take away from the romance?

6. Do you think Lillian was truly possessed
by a demon spirit or just criminally insane?

7. Were the hero and heroine developed
sufficiently? Were they likeable? Was their romance believable?

8. Who was your favorite secondary character
and why?

9. What main ideas—
themes
—does the
author explore?

10. Who/What do you think the “Nemesis” in
the book’s title refers to? Give examples to support your
theory.

11. Is the
ending
satisfying? If so,
why? If not, why not…and how would you change it?

12. What do you suppose is going on with
Gabriel’s cat, Muse? Theories? Did the author leave it hanging on
purpose? Will it be explored in a follow-up book?

13. The book is fairly genre-bending. If you
have to force it into one romantic subcategory, which would it be?
Paranormal? Gothic? Historical? Provide support for your
answer.

14. If there were to be a sequel to Dominic’s
Nemesis…who’s story would you want told next? Which character would
you want to know more about? What loose end would you most want to
see explained?

15. If you could ask the author of Dominic’s
Nemesis a question, what would it be? Would you read another book
by this author?
