Antidote by Jack L. Pyke
4.0
This book is emotionally exhausting. At some point I felt it was too much!
After reading this one, I have finally established that my level of dark is different from others. I think [b:Claustrophilia|42358645|Claustrophilia|Ezra Blake|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1539661562s/42358645.jpg|64298038], ruined dark books for me.
I didn’t find this book that dark, or maybe I have just become immuned to as dark content. I find myself interested in reading the And that part delivered. It was emotional and realistic. That is why I will give this one solid 4 stars.
My poor Jack! and Vanilla Jan.
What a ride! It is a toughy one; I loved some parts and didn’t like some parts.
The Characters
Jack – I love this guy. There are people with Issues and then there is Jack. He got ISSUES. His character is interesting to read. I find myself wanting him to be on page throughout. I want to know what is in him mind, how he see the world. Yap! I am in love.
Gray- This Dom is still an enigma but also fascinating. I love his presence in the story, he commands every scene he is in. Gaaah! I love him, freaking love him.
Martin- Ummm! WTF? I have a feeling this guy is going to be trouble. I will be here for all of the mayhem.
Jan?? – ………I like him but i still don't know him, maybe I will as the series progresses.
Jack and Gray have some serious chemistry going on, I still feel like Jan is a third wheel, when it comes to Jan and Jack there is some tiny bit of connection but not that strong. I feel like Jack and Gray are more developed than Jan.
The story
I had a roller-coaster reading time with this one.
The beginning (25%) was good, I got hooked,
The middle (25-60%) a little tough to read,
The next (65-85%) I felt was repetitive.
The rest (85-100%) was emotional, heartfelt, realistic and just fucking amazing.
The writing is unusual and the flow fell off sometimes. I think I will just get used to it, because I am invested in these characters. And somewhere along the story, I believe this stopped being BDSM.
Book 3 here I come.
