Publisher's Summary
As a forensic psychiatrist at New York's leading institution of its kind, Dr. Lily Dominick has evaluated the mental states of some of the country's most dangerous psychotics. But the strangely compelling client she interviewed today - a man with no name, accused of the most twisted crime - struck her as somehow different from the others, despite the two impossible claims he made. First, that he is more than 200 years old and personally inspired Mary Shelley, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Bram Stoker in creating the three novels of the 19th century that define the monstrous in the modern imagination. Second, that he's Lily's father. To discover the truth - behind her client, her mother's death, herself - Dr. Dominick must embark on a journey that will threaten her career, her sanity, and ultimately her life.
Fusing the tension of a first-rate thriller with a provocative take on where thrillers come from, The Only Child will keep you up until its last unforgettable revelation.

Not a fan
I was not able to complete this book. It just wasn't worth the extra time to slog through a story that was disjointed and lacked good narration. The narrator was so slow it was painful. The story twisted and turned and the demonic satanic episodes didn't make sense. I am going to request a refund, as I just could not get through it.

Inappropriately weird
I listened to and loved Oracle by Pyper, so I grabbed this for something similar-but-different.
What I got was...not that. The heroine seems to be in a perpetual state of horniness for every male she's on page with. Including (especially) the guy who claims to be her father.
Nope. I'm out. Filing this under Men Writing Women Badly and calling it a day.
