Let Me Go by Chelsea Cain
3.0
These are definitely my guilty pleasure. A perfect read when I'm too busy in life to pick up something with more depth. ThAt said, this was actually more on the "light" side of this series. I feel it was put together in a hurry. The relationship between Gretchen Lowell and Archie runs so deep and twisted which is the most interesting part of this series. I think it either needs to be more explored or heal it and give the series a conclusion.
The subject of Stockholm syndrome is as interesting as it is sick along with the idea of pleasure and pain living together symbiotically where one cannot exist without the other. Chelsea Cain managed to explore this subject matter brilliantly with the cop, Archie, who was captured by the serial killer he was chasing, tortured, sexually destroyed and then let live with the results. Love Gretchen Lowell, a woman serial killer who uses her beauty in deadly ways and I mean deadly. This a no holds bar on the mayhem. Added to the mix is a potential love interest that can never be in the quirky reporter, Susan. I love her and her crazy hair. Sadly Archie and her can never be since he's so much damaged goods. But this plot line can't continue forever. Hopefully we will all get the conclusion soon and know when to really Let it Go.
