Will I be reading the next book?
No. I thought the characters were horrible, the story was okay, and it bored me to no end. I finished it because when I realized I was not going to like this, I was already half way so I thought to myself that I gone too far to back down, that I might as well know the end.
I was not shocked nor impressed.
Also, can we stop putting r*pists in position of authority? And IF you really insist on adding this to your storyline, can you not justify their gross actions by 'having incontrollable pulsions'? ACCOUNTABILITY. Thanks.
