Thriller – a sex slave’s vengeance campaign

Is Michaela Kastel exaggerating? There is a fear that what they are in “With me the night” describes that comes closer to reality than its readers would like: women who are not only locked up and abused as sex slaves, but also tortured; Men who love it. And – this is probably where the fiction begins – a victim who can not only flee, but wants to take revenge.

Kastel’s heroine Madonna returns in the sequel to “I am the storm” back to the place of her suffering – not on a straight path, of course, but on one that is only paved with (half) corpses. She is accompanied by an ice-cold killer who fights against his feelings and leads his very own campaign of revenge – which, however, overlaps with that of Madonna. It’s brutal. And still good. Probably because the whole thing was written by a woman who does not indulge in long, almost pornographic descriptions of the suffering of the victims, as is unfortunately known from many a female kidnapping thriller from a male hand, but who goes far more on the emotional level – and Spattered a lot of blood anyway.
