À propos de cet audio

Celeste Price is an eighth-grade English teacher in suburban Tampa. She's undeniably attractive. She drives a red Corvette with tinted windows. Her husband, Ford, is rich, square-jawed, and devoted to her.

But Celeste's devotion lies elsewhere. She has a singular sexual obsession: 14-year-old boys. Celeste pursues her craving with sociopathic meticulousness and forethought; her sole purpose in becoming a teacher is to fulfill her passion and provide her access to her compulsion. As the novel opens, fall semester at Jefferson Jr. High is beginning.

In mere weeks, Celeste has chosen and lured the lusciously naive Jack Patrick into her web. Jack is enthralled and in awe of his teacher, and, most important, willing to accept Celeste's terms for a secret relationship - car rides after school; rendezvous at Jack's house while his single father works late; body-slamming encounters in Celeste's empty classroom between periods.

Ever mindful of the danger - the perpetual risk of exposure, Jack's father's own attraction to her, and the ticking clock as Jack leaves innocent boyhood behind - the hyperbolically insatiable Celeste bypasses each hurdle with swift thinking and shameless determination, even when the solutions involve greater misdeeds than the affair itself. In slaking her sexual thirst, Celeste Price is remorseless and deviously free of hesitation, a monstress driven by pure motivation. She deceives everyone, and cares nothing for anyone or anything but her own pleasure.

With crackling, rampantly unadulterated prose, Tampa is a grand, uncompromising, seriocomic examination of want and a scorching literary debut.

Extremely disturbing

I have never been more uncomfortable, angry, and disgusted with a fictional book in my life. It is uncomfortably graphic and the ending made me so upset but I literally couldn't stop listening to it. However, if you get easily disturbed, do not listen to this. It is not for the faint of heart

Very Disturbing

I finished it. Not sure why? It was a very disturbing and disgusting book to listen to. I wished at every turn that Celeste would be caught. The narrator felt too old to speak for Celeste; too mature for her presumed age. I will not recommend.

Messed up book but well written

This book is disturbing, there is no way around that. However, despite its disturbing nature it is a very enjoyable listen. It lags very little, is descriptive without being too flowery and most of all is full of suspense. The main character is in my opinion an irredeemable monster and the author seems to agree. She doesn’t try to make the main character sympathetic or someone you would root for which I find refreshing. Kind of the opposite of Tony Soprano or Walter White, bad guys who we can’t help but root for. Anyway it was good, the content is very explicit so be warned.

In the mind of a predator

Oh this book made me mad because of the subject but it’s so well written. You definitely see what goes on inside the mind of a predator. It’s pretty rare to have a story about a female predator. This book is filled with triggers and I wouldn’t suggest it if you’re easily offended.

The American Psycho of female predator books.

The book is an unflinching look at the world through the eyes of a female predator, and I couldn't stop listening! Celeste is unapologetic in her predatory desires, and it's easy to see why people would be offended by how explicit the book can be in her taking advantage of her victims. I thought it was fascinating, and I think if you're not the type to be overly offended; it's worth checking out.
