Another solid story in this series, which had me gripped from early on.
The start was a bit slow but soon got me heavily involved - largely for hating Piers so much for his treatment of Aidan. He was the epitomy of an abuser - swinging from violence to contrition and had Aidan keen to please even after the most viscious attacks.
So, I was rooting for Aidan and had hopes of his trainer being involved in his escape from Piers but she just faded away. I would have liked to have seen her involved more.
Jamie was a likeable character but we only saw the demise of his relationship with Dave so didn't get any great feel for them as a couple. Though Dave did come across as a stereotypical absorbed musician. I did think Jamie should have got them evicted much more publicly than he did considering the damage done.
I liked that Jamie was trying to be what Aidan needs but would wonder whether this sort of relationship would be sustainable long term as Aidan ultimately has to give in more.
I also wanted to know about Aidan's predecessor, name history etc and whether there had been more. And what of Piers' parents - seems likely some drastic deed my have befallen them too.
Also learnt a new big word!
Anyway, enjoyed it despite the horrors of Piers.
