Tom is a truck driver with a woman and an apartment he rarely ever sees. One night a voice comes over the CB -- the Midnight Flyer, and before long he and Tom are flirting and exchanging pictures. What Tom doesn't know is that the Midnight Flyer, Pelton, is practicing the dark arts, trying to get rid of all the things that keep him and Tom apart. The girfriend, the apartment, the trailer on his truck, his job, one by one they all disappear until Tom is a five-time loser. Which is when the Midnight Flyer takes him in. There are more surprises for Tom, though. There's more to Pelton than meets the eye, and Tom might just end up a winner in the end. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Pelton is a teaser; he likes to sexy chat with Tom and to entice him to something more. He is aware that Tom has a girlfriend, and also that he is not searching for anything serious, but Pelton is not what he seems. Through black magic he manages to isolate Tom from everything and everyone he knows, and then present himself as a savior, someone on which Tom can rely.
The story is very short, 30 pages, but it's quite a twist in the classical romance. Nor Tom or Pelton are "positive" heroes... au contraire, they made things very bad, even if, probably, Tom's sins are more due to his weak behavior, and instead Pelton is the real evil man. Anyway since they are both "bad boys" (and not in the "good" meaning) it's quite right that they find each other.
Obviously, even if Pelton has the innocent look, big eyes and pouty mouth, he is the more dangerous of the two, and he is also the man who pulls the strings of Tom, like the man was a puppet. Pelton wants and Pelton gets. But since Tom is not a good man, I feel no pain for him, and then, in the end, he obtains exactly what he wants, even if not in the way he expected it.
Not easy to like if you are the type of reader who always wants her perfect hero, but if you can pass this limit, you will read a very little "creepy" tale. And in the end, the evil man is not so evil after all.
