This was sick and twisted and disturbing.I can't even rate it, it was too much; and bear in mind that this is coming from someone who thought that fifty shades was kinda romantic.
The only reason I might continue this series is to see if someone actually helps this girl.
If you are easily disturbed by rape, murder, beatings or sex slavery avoid this book like plague.

No sé qué decir. Este libro me ha dejado totalmente en blanco. Ha sido una historia bastante oscura y hasta perturbadora, pero simplemente no podía parar de leer.
Creo que me ha gustado, jajaja, creo. No se si esta bien la calificacion que le he puesto, ni se bien mi opinion. Solo se que me dejo con muchas ganas de leer el siguiente.

What in the ever living fuck is this shit? "Dubious consent"? WHERE!?! There was no consent anywhere in this book! While I don't claim to understand BDSM relationships as I do not have that predilection, I have no problem reading about them as I can relate to a relationship being founded on sexual trades made by consenting adults safely and sanely. This book absolutely disgusted me. I won't go into summarizing it because others have done that for me, but I would truly hope that anyone finding this book positively entertaining seek help and/or serious introspection. There is truly no grey area to be had in this book.
Good luck reading it. But seriously though, don't.

I've noticed that some of the more negative reviews of this book have to do with the subject matter, and that's fine, it's not for everyone, but the subject matter is not even remotely my complaint with this book. Unless you count plot as subject matter, because the plot was kind of lacking. Lacking in that there IS one, you're TOLD that there's one, but then the author kind of just makes weird stabs at it, and you're reading it like, what the fuck are you doing, you TOLD us the whole premise of the book, why are you just wandering around in weird circles like you're trying to pin the tail on some kind of invisible donkey? YOU TOLD US ABOUT THE DONKEY THE DONKEY IS RIGHT THERE WE ALL UNDERSTAND THE FORM AND FUNCTION OF THE DONKEY START MAKING WITH THE DONKEY YOU HAVE PROMISED. I mean, if THAT is counted as subject matter, then yeah, I guess I kind of have a problem with the subject matter. But the whole rape, slave trade, bad man, murder, whatever, no, I have no problem with that, because I can read a synopsis and if I had a problem with all of that, I wouldn't have read this book.
No, actually, I read about all of that in the synopsis and then STILL READ THIS BOOK, indicating that I was kind of expecting all of that and all of the promised donkey that was indicated would be laid before me, and it kind of just wasn't. The author either needed to take way more time, be way more talent, or have way more pages to achieve what she was going for with this book. So Caleb is supposed to be breaking this chick to his will, and there's maybe one incident/scene of that. But it didn't actually happen. Or did it? Or was it that one time? She clings to him, but then she runs away. He's in love with her, but actually he's not. He's getting revenge with her as a tool, but she's actually going to get revenge on him, but actually she's not because he's actually helping her because why would she want to go home anyway.
There are a lot of books along these lines/this trope - dominant man breaks willful woman to his will - because a lot of people like to read that kind of thing. So it's not like this is a new concept, I AM A LADY WITH EXPECTATIONS. And this book fell WAY flat. I guess the book promised WAY more than the author was able to deliver. I would have liked a way longer book by a way more talented writer - maybe one who doesn't confuse your and you're SO. MANY. TIMES. Or one who doesn't tell what both parties are feeling from the first person perspective of one of them.
Normally finishing something in less than 24 hours is a good thing with regard to how much I like a book, and when I was reading this last night, I really did think it was going to rate well with me, but eventually the really, really, REALLY terrible writing and meandering floppy plot weirdness just got to me. I can't really get it up to buy the second book in the series.
