 This is not a badly written book (which is what I usually give my 2 star ratings to), but I just didn't connect with it. I was promised the Texas Chainsaw Massacre of books but it was hardly scary. Yes there were a few death scenes and descriptions of gore but they weren't all that frightening. I feel like Ahlborn tried to tackle too much, with the end result of none of the relationships feeling truly fleshed out - especially the relationship between Rebel and Michael, the one the whole book is supposed to revolve around.

Reflecting back it feels like the women in this book just served as plot devices that serviced the men (Laura Lynn, Misty Dawn, and Alice). Although I did enjoy how the twist near the end showed what a terribly evil person Rebel is.

I can't think of any words to sum up how I feel about this book. I guess I'll keep it simple and say it's the best thing I've ever read. Nothing can top this, I know that for certain. 
Michael will always be in my heart. Reb will always be around the corner.
