This book is a Stockholm syndrome/ kidnapping trope. Normally I'm here for it because you know it's fictional. But this one lacked chemistry and relation between the characters. It could have been 300+ pages shorter and it would not have done anything for the plot. Surprised i finished it thb

This was a DNF. It was bad. The writing was bad. The sex scenes were bad. This book was just. Bad.

Did I like this? Did I hate it? I honestly don’t know. It’s not that the story is bad, it’s more that I couldn’t connect with the story..or Carter..or Aria. I didn’t understand Carter most of the time and I especially couldn’t understand his need to dominate, punish and drive to make her fear him. And it’s not that I don’t understand that mentality, I have read other books along the same lines where I felt the character’s need to dominate/punish and while I might not have agreed with it, I understand why the character felt the way he did. With this book, I never got that. I still don’t understand what his mindset with Aria is/was. Nothing made sense about his mentality. And it’s frustrating because the story could have pulled me in.
Aria- I am annoyed with her and her character development. I understood her fear and desire to protect her family. But by book 2, I wanted to slap her. Was she strong? Was she weak? Was she weakly strong? Man, I don’t know. I just know by the end, I was so annoyed with her. And I am kind of annoyed she got her happily ever after all wrapped together with a nice bow.
There was ONE main issue in every single book. It drug on FOR FREAKING EVER. Honestly the whole storyline became so drawn out I no longer cared what the hell happened.
I think I am mostly just frustrated because I didn’t ever feel like I understood where anyone was coming from and I felt like I was being told a story by a third party who heard it through the grapevine: embellished for drama without any real idea or insight into what really happened or why certain people acted/behaved in the manner he/she did.
Sooo would I read this again? Nope.
Would I recommend this to someone else? Negative Ghost Rider
Will I read Jase’s story next? Yeahhhh, yeah I will.
