p_j 's review for:

Captive in the Dark by CJ Roberts
1.0

This book is written by a woman. And it is scary how Women are the ones who are propagating these kind of sick ideas.
How did this book even get published.

I dont know why I did not DNF this book.
Maybe because hope against hope I was praying for the Female lead to get her redemption! I think I am a fool to have thought this book could be redeemed.

To all the people who Love this book:
What kind of sick twisted mind do you have?!(No offense).

Romanticizing a relationship between a Human trash Man (who kidnaps women, abuses her physically and mentally, and treats her like garbage).
And the women who goes through all this.
Is the biggest tragedy of this book.

Stockholm syndrome is real and I understand how there could be attachment between the abuser and the abused.
BUT! Phrasing the abuse to seem erotic almost romantic. That's what gets on my nerves.
Abuse is ABUSE nothing less nothing more and if you put it as ABUSE I can understand where it is coming from and it's okay to talk about abuse in books because it is Real.
But dont show abuse as something the abused person Enjoys and comes to love.
NO! The abused is always going to hate it. And have trauma.
Dont phrase something so Disgustingly horrifying as Something Romantic, Please.

This book was just one episode of abuse after other and I felt torn between throwing this book at the wall and screaming my head off.
And I hope publishers pay attention to what is going through them.
