Cruel Control by Candace Wondrak

4.0

Cruel Control is the first book within The Desecration of Innocence series. It's a dark, mysterious and very chaotic mafia-like book. Or maybe that's just me view on how everything went down. Still, I want to dive into the next book because I feel like everyone is going to keep me on my toes constantly guessing what will happen next.

Are the guy's crazy territorial? Sure, but who wouldn't be if someone who you thought was family messed up big time. Then to find this young naive innocent girl just waiting to be plucked from underneath that person. So, yeah, did I see her being kidnapped by them? Heck yes. It felt a bit obvious something was going to happen after her dad finally let her out of the house.

Speaking of this girl, I hope Juliet become a bit more likable in the next book. I get that she knows absolutely nothing since she was highly sheltered for her entire life. But dang girl, open your eyes and realize what's happening here. Also, can she stop calling her dad 'Daddy'? It creeps out.

Other than that, I'm excited to see what Markus has up his sleeve next. Also, need more Will and Jaxon please.
