bookaddict2011 's review for:
He Hates Me
by Rina Kent, Isabella Starling
I received an ARC of this book for an honest review.
This is my first Isabella Starling book, but not my first Rina Kent. And holy WOW! This is the first book in the Hate Love Duet and it is so freaking intense that I am still feeling the after effects of it. I already know this one is a major book hangover. And I am not even mad about it.
So I feel as though I should give a warning. This book is dark. It is powerful. It has triggers. It will mess with your head in a way that is relentless and all-consuming. It will destroy everything you think you know. It will shred you into pieces and not even care if it puts you back together.
I am usually not huge on books as dark as this one. And there were times that I did flinch due to some of the graphic scenes it portrayed, but the intensity of the scene kept me there, regardless of what I wanted. You are drawn in completely, with disregard to what you like or what you don't like. So if you don't like intense dark with graphic scenes that you can literally see and feel while you read, this probably isn't the book for you.
You will hate Jasper just as much as you want to love him. He will mess with your mind, tie you up in knots and still cause you to want more from him. He is the quintessential kind of dark romance hero, but is he really a hero if he is also the source of your greatest pains?
I won't give anything away because it is a new release, but I will say that this is book one of the duet and the second book isn't released yet. Soooo, if you don't like cliffhangers.. you probably don't want to read this one quite yet. I have come to appreciate a good cliffhanger. Especially when the book has you so intwined in the story. Isabella and Rina weave their words together so masterfully that you know you will be back for more when the next one comes out.
Five stars for this intense dark stalker romance that will probably destroy you more than it will ever heal you.
