Nine Minutes
by Beth Flynn
3.5 stars. I don't know how to rate this book nor what to say. I am not sure I even liked it but I'm so engrossed that I finished the audiobook in 2 days. Then I quickly got book 2. It's not the writing, it's not the characters..maybe it is both. I didn't dislike Ginny because she was just trying to exist. I just don't find that Stockholm syndrome to really be "love" as there isn't consent and there is an amount of brainwashing. This book was the journey of a kidnap victim turned wife of the leader of a motorcycle gang. All these things happening before age 16. The book begins with the trial of her husband kidnapper, the unapologetic and ruthless Grizz.
There was a lot of deceit in this truly complex story. There was statutory rape and generally stalking. But there was a make shift family and loyalty...as much as you can have in a criminal enterprise. So I was intrigued, curious and engrossed with the train wreck effect. I want to find out who Grunt really is because the ending made the nice guy appear to be much more sinister and cunning than I gave him credit to. This triangle with Grizz, Ginny and Grunt wasn't as clean as I thought.
The fact that I wanted to read book two immediately means that I must like it a little bit, right?
