Okay, suffice to say, I'm very disappointed with this book. I wasn't even planning to read it in the first place. But after reading a comment in this video that the video looked like it was inspired by this book instead of Fifty Shades of Grey, I dropped everything that I was reading to read this.
Gonna post a full review soon.

My god did this book mess with my head!? I've apparently got a thing for dark, twisted, sick books and this one was right up there!? I struggled through every word, yet couldn't put it down!? Had to immediately jump into book #2 and I'm still shaking... If you're a lover of dark reads, be sure to check out this series!!
Wow definitely a different and dark read, but I was so drawn in by it and it was written so well...can't wait to start book two.
Just to say ... There was no romance in this book. THERE WAS NOTHING NAMED ROMANCE IN THIS BOOK. At least for me. Because I read some reviews, and it is weird how people think there is love here.
We have a girl kidnapped , and this animal is doing bad things to her. Unforgiveable. There is no excuse for him what he did , no matter what in the past happened.
Just so we are clear.
This is like the worst thing that can happen to anyone.
I didn't read anything like this.
This book 'hit' me so much , I couldn't read anything else for a week after it. That is why my stars are a bit high. So yeah , think twice before you read it, it isn't for the weak ones :)
Sorry for my English. >_<

My thoughts at the beginning/first part of the story: I HATE EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYONE and EVERYTHING. Whatever character, event, or freaking setting was introduced, I HATED them. First, I HATED Caleb, despised him from head to toe and everything in between. I didn’t care one bit for his story or the fact that he had been wronged in the past, he was scum. SCUM, SCUM, SCUM. And I HATED him. I HATED his colleague who made him do all those spiteful, despicable things - I mean surely there was another way to seek revenge, for heaven’s sake?? - and I HATED the one he was directly working with, Jair or whatever his name was. I also thought I hated the girl because she reminded me too much of “Comfort food”, the feeling was eerily similar, but then I realized I didn’t hate her, I was just angry and not even at her but at the situation those scumbags put her in. So not only was I full of HATRED but RAGE also, as it turns out. It was all very disturbing to read and I HATED it. And then, just like that, things started to change, and not even slowly either, for me it was exactly at the moment the unemotional bastard started to have feelings. Seriously that felt like an actual plot twist and I feel silly for even saying that because of course the guy was gonna develop feelings for the girl, right? Well with this story and the way it started I wasn’t so sure about that at all. Also, even if he realized he had feelings for her, that changed very little in the grand scheme of things (or nothing at all), if anything it complicated them even further.
“You thought that you could fix me? What’s more, that I could fix you? Well, sorry pet, I don’t want to be fixed. Whatever your little school-girl brain told you about men is absurdly wrong. This isn’t a romance. You’re not a damsel in distress and I’m not the handsome prince come to save you. You ran. I went to collect my property. End of story.”
By then, how should I put this? Shit got intense. The emotions involved were very complex, twisted, raw and very, VERY unsettling. And Livvie started to fight at the exact moment when her situation couldn’t have got more desperate, I expected her to have a mental breakdown but she never did, it seemed like one part of her was just numb and tired while the other part was going to do anything to get out from the hell she was put in.
“‘You’re not a damsel in distress and I’m not the handsome prince come to save you.’ No. He wasn’t. In real life you had to save yourself.”
The book ended just when the suspense was building, and now I’m actually scared to read book 2 because I expect the worst, I mean how the hell is he gonna get out of this mess? I’m not sure I wanna know.
Also, this is just my personal opinion and I’m sure others weren’t as bothered as me, but I found the POV changes very weird, because for Livvie it was a first person POV, and for Caleb it was a third person. I found it not exactly confusing but it kind of made the telling lose part of its flow.

I do not find this sexy in any way shape or form. I'm disgusted with the author for writing this and with myself for even bothering to give it a chance.
Uff...I started reading this book several months ago..it was fucking awesome..but scary and I just had to put it down for some time 'cause I just wasn't in the mood..today I started where I left off and read it in one sitting...
I love Caleb one minute and then I hate him in the second one..I would punch him..bite him..kick him...and then just give him a hug...
I'm not sure if I love livvie..but she is a strong character..and I can't wait to see what happens to her in the second book...I already started with second one...and I'm lovin it...
