Book Description

Imaginary Playmate – a highly exotic, erotic, paranormal suspense seasoned with spicy New Orleans flavor and sultry Louisiana soul. Dr. Pickens, a prominent New Orleans surgeon, hires the local "root man" to force the woman of his desires into unholy matrimony. Now, his children must pay the ultimate price – their souls. Demeter Pickens discovers her father’s secret when she experiments with the ancient art of lucid dreaming. She is transported to a strange, new world where fiction becomes fact and reality fades into oblivion. To her delight, she conjures up the dashing Marcellus Angelell, and together they explore heights of passion unparalleled by any earthly experience. To Demeter, Marcellus is a mirage – a figment of the imagination. Oh, but he is all too real and has lured her into his world; she is his fantasy, and he is not willing to let her go. In the end, she must choose between the doldrums of life on Earth and the exciting, boundless, eternal world where imagination comes alive.

4.0 out of 5 stars Life is just a fantasy Jan 21 2003
By The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers
Sometimes our dreams can be so vivid, the ability to discern them from real life becomes difficult. For Demeter Pickens, it becomes a near impossibility.
Breaux's sophomore effort, Imaginary Playmate, provides an intertesting twist to the art of dreaming.

The name Dr. Pickens may be familiar to those who have read her debut, A Family Curse, and this name returns more prominently in Imaginary Playmate. Demeter Pickens, the doctor's daughter, finds herself teetering on the edge of a dream world and reality. Plagued by the memories she can't conjure and narcoleptic fits of phantasm, Demeter believes at first that she is having a lucid dreaming experience that she can no longer control. In her dreams she is visited by her imaginary playmate, Marcello, and he becomes larger than life when he walks her through the halls of her innermost desires.

Imaginary Playmate is an intense look into the unknown realms of time, dreams, memories, and the universe as a whole. Filled with erotic love scenes and underlying themes of forgiveness, this was an enthralling read. I love Breaux's look into the supernatural, and enjoy the way she weaves her tales, intermingling her characters' existences. With a touch more editorial polishing to tighten up the sequence of events and minor grammatical errors, this would have been a five star book. I am looking forward to the next installment of this series (which is hinted at within the text of Imaginary Playmate).

5.0 out of 5 stars Just Another Curse Book? I Don't Think So! Jan 11 2003
By roy glenn
Having read and enjoyed her first book, The Family Curse, I settled in to read Imaginary Playmate expecting more on the same story line. I was in for a rude awaking. In Imaginary Playmate, Magdalene Breaux takes the reader on an adventure to a whole new of world. A erotic world of fantasy, passion and secrets far beyond anything I've ever read before. In a word, it was SEX!, but it was so much more. Playmate is an extraordinary paranormal suspense thriller. I found myself turning page after page, trying with everything I had to figure out what would happen next. Once you open your mind, you will find yourself deep inside a well crafted story, told by a master story teller.

5.0 out of 5 stars It Will Have You Fooled Dec 8 2002
By Circle of Friends Book Club-Charlotte, NC Chapter
I found Imaginary Playmate to be a definite page tuner. Each page kept me wanting to know more about Demeter, her life and the mystery surrounding her family. Imaginary Playmate is the story of how Demeter's real life and dreams collide...how dark family secrets always come to light. Demeter is a professional African-American female whose life seems to be perfect but is really a roller coaster spiraling out of control. Demeter starts to have very vivid dreams. These dreams take her to a place of beauty, serenity and the man of her dreams. Ms. Breaux draws you so far into Demeter's life that you (along with Demeter) can't tell what's real and what is a dream.
I think this book is a great sequel to The Family Curse and one of the most exciting books I've read to date.
