S.K. Reviews

A rare 5 Stars for this one.

Why? The unique factor. A story unlike any I’ve read before. If this is the first in a series, I’m looking forward to more. While many questions are unanswered, the book tells a complete story and ends with a version of the happily ever after, for now resolution.

Excellent imagery. The story unfolds with tantalizing suspense, skirting the taboo and expanding in an entirely different direction.

I’m a sucker for an adult coming of age and Caio is that as well as a twisty legal mystery. It’s also women’s literature as the book follows Sarah on her journey.

I recommend Caio to anyone who enjoys magic realism laced with philosophy.

Caio by LS DeLorme

Sarah Baker is a paralegal in a law firm in modern-day Brooklyn.

Her life is bouncing between her abusive lawyer boyfriend, the voices she hears in her head, and her soul-sucking work at the law firm. On a New York spring day, she meets Caio as he plays basketball on a court near her house. He is alluring, intriguing, and young. Yet that’s the least of his mystery, for Caio was beaten, thrown into a hole, and left to die…in 1905.

As Sarah tries to understand this enigmatic stranger, she must juggle the increasingly dubious ethics of her law firm and ghosts in her head. Struggling with loss, grief, love, beauty, and lawyers, she will need to summon the strength to break all of society’s rules, save several lives, and step into a new, potentially magical life.

Caio is the opening book of the Limerent universe, a series of supernatural romantic thrillers that will pull on your heartstrings, challenge your perceptions and lead you on a singular journey of discovery and revelation.
