I’m still not quite sure how to make the semi-abusive part of this new relationship “not important”……( since I typically hate those characters that stay in those types of relationships), BUT I was willing to give this one a shot for the sake of the story.

But THEN…queue “bad boy hottie x50” (Asher Blackwell) & add a dose of bad boy who is definitely conflicted (think Romeo & Juliet – sworn enemies by circumstances) and we now have the beginnings of a potential juicy story. She is pulled out of this situation & put into yet another invasive situation (not quite abusive in nature, but definitely borderline) of an entirely altogether different matter. I am normally a year or two late on the newest & latest books….and I haven’t quite figured out how to get onto that “new book list” yet….but I’m working on it with this book blog! AnyWho….so I started reading this book with no expectations other than that the storyline sounded different & intriguing to me.įor the first few chapters, I wasn’t exactly sure how I was going to like this story….it begins with an abusive situation, but the author quickly gives you slight glimpses into a submerged character made of steel in the form of a 17-year-old girl & that she might be made of sterner stuff than you originally anticipate. I had heard absolutely nothing about this author….which isn’t surprising since I am A) not a writer, B) not a book store & C) not a librarian. I read this book because I liked the blurb of the story online & because I got an email from my local library that the e-book was available for me and I had 14 days to read it….But going back to the blurb: Who wouldn’t like a story about a girl who falls in love with someone who not only wants to, but NEEDS to kill her?
