The Exhibitionist

De: Amy Lynn Raines

Narrado por: Danica Farrar

An abused and incredibly intelligent young woman, Sylvia (aka Corban Sylvania), was abandoned by her parents at the age of sixteen. Technically homeless, she has learned to survive in the woods with the help of an older man, Holt French. Sylvia has no identifying records because she was not supposed to have been born. She mostly lives the life of a reclusive mountain woman who can handle any situation on her own. Every year, there are contests and competitions where Sylvia gets to show off her skills in a public display that proves her existence and allows her to be seen as the true hunter she is. Mr. French notices that she seems a bit restless and offers her a job that he can’t really pay her for. He wants her to watch over the ranch and keep and eye on the wild boars he has been caring for nearly twelve years. She participates in as many as she can to earn the money she needs to survive. She hunts deer for the pigs and humans that have no morals in between the contests. She leaves no evidence behind, and she displays most of them so that whoever finds them will know that they were killed for a legitimate reason. Some are more gruesome than others depending on the situation. The victims she doesn’t leave on display, she feeds to the pigs.

Sylvia neglects to mention that she has fallen in love with Claudia, and the two have spent more time together in her girlfriend’s home than she has at the ranch, even though she is keeping up with her responsibilities, the contests, and of course the murders that haven’t all been connected. Questions concerning ownership bring around new people who have no problem burning things down or taking a life for the worst possible reason: Greed. Can she battle her own inner demons, maintain her prideful way of being, and settle the score with those who would kill her simply for existing?

I was amazingly surprised with this book. It made me so happy to hear a story of a woman who kills to protect minority LGBT community. Perfect book for a book club.
