jillian_km1991's review against another edition
I don't know how I want to rate this.
It's the most fucked up shit I've ever read, but it was pretty okay...I think.
Seriously this book is fucked up. But good. But REALLY FUCKED UP

WOW OH WOW. A HOT SEXY DIRTY DARK ROMANCE STORY!
I loved this book. I got hooked from the start, and what a great way to start a book. My favourite character was MR X or Azazel which is his real name. I felt sorry for him because of his childhood, being brought up with shitty parents then making your first kill at nine years old, obviously this had an effect on him throughout the rest of his life. But he loved Jay from the start and their parents wouldn't let them be together. Mr X is a broken sexy man, and I got attached to him from the start.
I loved the characters in the book, they felt very real to me. Jay and Mr X are perfect for each other in every way. They are both scared of the feelings but Mr X mans up and admits his feelings to Jay. This story kept me guessing all the way through, because it being a dark romance novel, you never know what to expect from beginning to end.
My favourite park of the book was the end when Jay is doing community service and she receives the letter from Mr X and he explains what he felt for her at the start and why he wanted revenge, then he gives her money from her father and gives her a choice in what she wants to do. Weather she wants to be with him or not. Then she finds out his real name. I am glad he come to his senses in the end and realised she needs to make that choice of wanting to be with him, not him forcing her to be with him and he can't force her love she has to give it willingly.
I think the whole book was very well written and I loved every second of it. Everything was explained well so you got to picture exactly what was happening with each scene. This book was very emotional from the start, but I cried when Mr X shot himself and realised this was the only option to help Jay get free of her father.
This was a amazing story for me, and I thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good dark romance read.
Rating
5/5 star rating.
I hope you enjoyed my review.
Happy reading! :D

This is my second experience with this author and I am not sure I want to try for a third. This was a difficult read. I just could not get into the story. It took me forever to complete it. Reading is supposed to provide the reader with a distraction from the bad things happening in the real world, but this book did not provide that for me.
I was unable to connect with the characters. I could not fathom the reason for the X's need for revenge. I thought it was absurd to blame Jay for what her father and his parents did to him. I found the method of revenge, even more absurd. Oh Well! To each their own.
This story did nothing for me. It did not engage me, it did not pull me in and it did not entertain me.

that was a ride for sure
stockholm syndrome, what is that?
just got an issue with the writing, like maybe we could have seen rather than heard all the progress made between them, no?
I'm still kinda stunned because this was not at all what i expected. crazy fucking ride.

This was more like 4 1/2 stars for me. Parts were difficult to read because I thought X was cruel...I kept waiting for his soft side to appear. It was an interesting story. I do wish there was a bit of an end to it. It did end but I feel like I'm still left hanging.
