    The Narcissist: A Dark Journey In this novel, there is an underlying theme that the reader is unaware of. The reader may completely disagree with it, however by the end of the reading journey she/he will embrace it. "The Narcissist-A Dark Journey" is a psychological trip through the psyche of one Charlotte Prentice. She is breathtakingly beautiful, extremely intelligent, and dangerous. She will do whatever it takes to receive the adoration and success that sustains her ever demanding personality. Who is this woman whose beauty is only over shadowed by her intellect? Charlotte herself is unaware. Outwardly she is a woman who fights discrimination and poverty; an advocate of education and freedom. To the on-looker she is perfection. But inside, there is something darker lurking, something that pushes her single-minded plans forward without empathy. Her life is filled with tragedies that she cleverly planned and executed, while maintaining a safe distance from them. Her life is also filled with romances, again that she cleverly planned to nurture her successes, even in the shadow of her sexual dilemma that she must keep secret, or in her psyche, lose everything. She and her ilk are the scourge of our society, driven to success to satisfy their needs at any cost. They are the business leaders and politicians who woo us with deceit and shallow promises. Sometimes we are amused by them. Other times we are stricken by them. But make no mistake: they are not amusing; they are calculating and dangerous. Is she guilty of her crimes and horrific acts? In The Narcissist-A Dark Journey", the reader is both judge and jury, and finding the truth can be very complex . Learn about and understand this disorder. You will be living with it for the next four years. For the month of February the E book is $0.99 Purchase Links http://tinyurl.com/jfurbb2 http://tinyurl.com/zcxyg6u
