Mania
by Katie May
I really wanted to like this. The first third of the book is nothing but these guys talking about how obsessed they are with the FMC. It's way overdone. We get it. You love her. Even though she doesn't know it & she thinks most of them simply tolerate her. She has no friends except these 5 guys but they keep her at an arm's length and pretty much keep all the secrets from her. She really doesn't know anything about them.
Then, they're supposed to be these badass psychopathic serial killers but they keep NOT protecting the girl. She just keeps getting kidnapped. They supposedly have this amazing network of associates and the bad guys supposedly fear them, but they never use their network when the girl goes missing. The first time the girls gets kidnapped, they flat out KNOW 1 of the people responsible. A girl came to their room to purposely distract them and even taunted them about it saying "it's too late" and what do they do....NOTHING! They just let her go. "She said she doesn't know anything" Bull.Ish! The guys refuse to communicate with her at all and then expect her to trust them and talk to them about what's happening with her?! It makes no sense, and just comes across as completely unrealistic.
Also, how many bad things have to happen to you, how many times do you have to get kidnapped before you stop ignoring the bad feelings you get assuming that you're being paranoid? If you've been kidnapped several times by a cult who says you've got x tasks to complete and then randomly you feel like somebody's watching you.... They probably are!
I'm 80% through and she's been kidnapped 3x so far and released because she completed the tasks given. (They make it sound like she might die if she doesn't complete the tasks ? But not sure) They guys have done absolutely nothing to help or protect her. The only thing the do is give her sweatshirts and granola bars, lie to her and keep secrets. She has done everything herself.
