1.0

I hated this book.  I was expecting a thriller but it’s more horror.  It seems that he is trying to tell the story from Abigail’s perspective but it missed the mark for me.  The women are stereotyped and very one dimensional.  I found his writing style strange and redundant. 

  The end of the book verges on murder porn.  It was evident from early on the husband is in on it and hired “Scottie” to test Abigail.  Even with all the plot twists and plot holes (who edited this book?!?) the story was predictable.  The only unknown was if Abigail would survive.  I should have just googled the ending to find out. 

Don’t waste your time.  I should have DNF’ed this one.
