So disappointed in this book. I don’t think I’ve ever given JG a rating below a 3 star but I couldn’t over look a few messages that seem to romanticize abuse. This is NOT something typical in JG’s books so I’m so disappointed.
But I can’t condone a “hero” who forces a heroine (or anyone) to drink when they specifically choose not to drink because alcoholism runs in their family. The heroine even states that she knows if she doesn’t drink the alcohol he’ll pour it down her throat. That’s just too much. Not sexy, not flirty, not just it’s-cool-to-be-an-ass but straight up abusive.
He also freaks out on her when he discovers her drawings of her past. These drawings were a way the therapist recommended she express herself and heal from her past. This is so the opposite reaction that we would typically see from a JG hero.
Aside from the aforementioned points this was rather slow without any real heat or connection. I kept waiting for something to happen but it never really went anywhere. The Ghost wasn’t much of one, I think a better name would have been The Ghoster since that’s what he does for people. He was condescending from the get go but I kept waiting for him to turn it all around and he just never did. The heroine started out strong in the first scene but really just became a doormat.
This is the second book in this series, I didn’t really enjoy the first one. I love the Savages, the Henchmen, and the Dark series but this one and the Mallicks just fall flat.
