Rape isn't sexy.
I've read a lot of dark books but this was just too misogynistic even for me. I'm not going to bother to read the sequel - it's fine with me if they're both dead.
The secondary plot of her great-grandmother's murder was incredibly boring and a waste of time. I couldn't even begin to care about it.
The bad grammar just added to my disgust with this book. I wouldn't recommend this to anybody.
