A review by dunder_mifflin
The Fire Child by S.K. Tremayne
1.0
i picked this up because it was cheap in costco and i'd quite liked the author's other book. it was a MISTAKE. I REGRET EVERY PENNY AND MOMENTS OF MY LIFE THAT I SPENT ON THIS AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL BOOK
the only way it could have been worse would be by replacing 'fire' with 'cursed' in the title
(protip: stay away from books that have 'the ____ child' as the title )
i hated it because of many reasons so here we go:
- the pacing was awful? it drags on for soooo long then suddenly rachel is pregnant and david beats her up and she reveals her dad's sexual abuse that started when she was 8 and how she escaped but then around 20y/o he rapes her at knife point and she becomes pregnant and she was also in a mental institution because of her dad and like. ook . space it out a bit if you wanna put so much trauma in here author
- david BEATS his wife but then at the end he's like "she got the house in the divorce but i'm happy about it bc now i'm free and i'm loving my life and even tho she could decline me entry to the house she lets me in to see my kid so all is well!" NOOOOOO let him burn in hell
- also then she lied about getting pregnant from her dad (so did he rape her at knife point?? ? who knows if that was also a lie) she actually was a surrogate mother and her daughter didn't actually die the doctors just told her that and she actually had a son who the couple she was surrogating for but had never met got the kid and U GUESSED IT THAT COUPLE WAS HER CURRENT HUSBAND AND HIS PREVIOUS WIFE SO HER INSANE OBSESSION WITH DAVID'S KID WAS OK BC SHE WAS HIS ACTUAL MUM AND MUST HAVE SENSED IT
ill spare you the rest this was awful and a waste of time i'll prob never read anything but this author again lol
