Dark Notes


Title: Dark Notes
Author: Pam Godwin
Genre: Erotica, Adult Fiction, Romance
Published April: 3rd 2016
Standalone: Yes 

 They call me a slut. Maybe I am. Sometimes I do things I despise. Sometimes men take without asking. But I have a musical gift, only a year left of high school, and a plan. With one obstacle. Emeric Marceaux doesn’t just take. He seizes my will power and bangs it like a dark note. When he commands me to play, I want to give him everything. I kneel for his punishments, tremble for his touch, and risk it all for our stolen moments. He’s my obsession, my master, my music. And my teacher.





Dark Note is a forbidden student/ teacher romance. I didn't have many expectations from this book. I thought it would be another erotica about a forbidden relationship between an old teacher and his very young student. I read a few pages and already realized it's more than that.

 It's an emotional steamy novel with a very solid plot. Ivory didn't have an easy life. She is poor and men had always taken advantage of her. She tries really hard to hold onto her dreams to study in an elite musical collage that her father dreamed of. Even though she was strong, she was also very naive.

 Emeric was immediately attracted to Ivory, he is confident, arrogant and kinky. When Emeric found out what happened to Ivory and what is she doing just to survive, he helps her in every way he can. Together they overcome their past. I really liked how Emeric took care of Ivory. She suffered a lot, it was really tragic but in the end, she was happy because of Emeric and it was wonderful.

Review: Norwegian Wood

Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami My rating: 5 of 5 stars Norwegian Wood is a remarkable novel that deals with life, death and isolation. Many people think Toru is a bland character but for me, he is just a lonely teenager who is thrust upon the life of adulthood. He isn't emotionally ready and may never be. This book is his journey to accept grief and live his life. "How many sundays- how many hundreds of Sundays like this - lay ahead of me? Quite, peaceful and lonely," I said aloud to myself. On Sundays, I didn't wind my spring" Toru is terribly lonely. The people around him are very different and often he is only stuck by himself. Sometimes we are just all alone. The ending baffled me. But I think Toru tried to cut his association with death and move on and lead a happy life but he is stuck. For me, this book shows what Toru has become as an adult man in his life. In the beginning, we see him alone, reminiscing his past and ...

Review: Things Fall Apart

Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe My rating: 5 of 5 stars Before reading Things Fall Apart, I never knew Africa has such great literature. Don't get me wrong. I knew nothing about Africa before. What I knew was what I saw in the media. Media stereotypes Africa as a way that we think they are dumb and need the help of other countries. But this book changed my thoughts of Africa. After reading this book I realized how delusional I had. I felt ashamed and realized the power the media have. I am a big fan of postcolonial literature, diasporic literature, mainly anything that deals with colonization. As a fellow Bangladeshi, I know the impact of colonization. Everything in Bangladesh screams the movements of colonization. Achebe's book "Things Fall Apart" is a remarkable tale that gives us a beautiful and unique culture Africa had and how it was ruined by the Europeans. This novel tells us about Okonkwo, an Igbo man from Umofia. The nov...
