Cruel Intentions
by Siobhan Davis
The Young and the Cruel
Let me start by saying, this book is very triggery and is not going to be kosher with most people. It’s dark and messed up and you have to be at least a little screwed in the head to love it like I did. The heroine (and others in the book) are made to go through so many horrors by both the hero(es?) and other characters that you want to look away. But you can’t.
Even though she goes through all of these horrible things, our heroine Abby is no angel herself. She has the same killer instinct as her family and friends and she’s willing to do what it takes for revenge and/or justice, no matter how despicable. Her grey maybe lighter than the others’, but the lines are all blurred and no one is pure. They’re all manipulative and have their own hidden agendas. And did I mention they are all teenagers? Because they are, all of them. Except the parents. It’s crazy sauce, alright.
This is like a combination of Cruel Intentions (the movie) and your average bully romance on steroids, y’all. It is dark and intense and effed up and bananas, like a book of this kind should be. In fact, I started out critical of the prologue (for spoilery reasons I won’t mention), but soon I was so damn hooked! Also beware of brutal cliffhanger, and the next book comes out in August.
