prynne31's review against another edition

Reasons for DNFing:
1. Male MC is suddenly an additional PoV about 1/3 of the way through the book.
2. Narrator for male PoV makes him sound crazy and is somehow less sexy than when the female narrator does his voice.
3. Male MC objectifies female MC but thinks it's okay because "mayes" and because he'd never "force" her. </The real gross part is when he's torturing the guy who got drunk and tried to SA the girl but totally thinking about having sex with her while he's stabbing the guy in his dungeon. Plus, he totally murders her dad, and she knows it and still desires him physically.>
