Bully for Sale
by Leta Blake
I’m not sure how to feel about this one, since the whole thing left a very nasty taste in my mouth. The omegaverse this story takes place in is utterly horrendous and completely unfair; you constantly feel the anger and helplessness of it all.
One of the main characters has also done a lot of awful things, especially to his love interest, so it was extremely difficult to forgive him.
Ned claims to have loved Ezer from the very beginning, but he never stopped his friends from bullying and harassing Ezer, and he even stood by and watched while his friend attempted to rape him. How can you ever get over such a thing? I mean, even after reaching the end of this book, I’m still not sure if it is even possible to ever truly forgive him.
In the end, it is clear that Ned was an utter coward, but I do believe he loves Ezer with all of his heart and he would never let such a thing happen again in the future.
I honestly felt a little squeamish while reading this book and some of the things that happened were questionable at best. Seeing people have no right over their autonomy at all is so devastating and completely enraging: It makes me feel like utter shit.
I also thought there was far too much smut and I would have liked a little more talking and bonding between the love interests without sex involved.
Nonetheless, I did think this story was interesting and I was intrigued by a lot of it.
The characters had their issues, but their characterization was done well and I was invested in seeing their lives unfold.
The romance had an intense beginning, and a difficult path ahead of it.
I definitely loved the obsessive devotion from Ned and I also appreciated that Ezer stood his ground, refusing to forgive Ned without a fight. Ezer did not open up until the end, which was good for him, but also a little frustrating to read sometimes. I would have loved to see more true development in their relationship with more depth, understanding and true love.
I still don’t entirely know how I feel about their love story, but it was surely quite fascinating.
