A review by bookliac
Alena's Revenge by K.A. Knight
1.0
I really didn't like this book.
Most of the torture is there just for the shock value. The plot feels like an afterthought. And the characters are pretty one dimensional.
Some elements are missing for me and I just couldn't feel the characters. So the torture was there but had no emotional impact for me. Which made this experience flat.
The over the top John Wick world didn't really help either. Tho now I wonder how the movies manage to make it not feel so out of please and ott.
I have the feeling that the horror genre or maybe thriller does the whole "let's torture someone for 50% of the book in all kinds of ways" better than this. This book screams "I am edgy" but the emotional scarring part is missing.
