Umm.  My initial thoughts upon completing Used?  What. The. F@*!.  Nothing more, nothing less.  It took me a few hours of letting it stew, marinate if you will, before I could comprehend what I had just read.If you asked me to describe Used in one word, BLUNT would be that word.  Blunt; uncompromisingly forthright. Yeah, that sums it up.  Well, it sums up one aspect of it.  That aspect being V.  We don't learn the protagonists whole name.  She is just V, and V is all she wants to be.  A nameless woman.We don't learn much about V at first.  Other than she is sexual. In the rawest sense of the word.  And the sex in Used? Whoa.  Again, I use the words blunt and raw. Maybe throw in some words like wet, hot, erotic and adventurous.Used is a short read.  Very short.  I think it clocks in at 50 pages, but they are 50 super charged pages. This chapter ends in a place I never would have guessed.  The blurb eludes to no happy ever afters here, and it 'aint lying honey.After mulling it over, I think I really kind of loved Used.  It surprised me, nearly shocked me.  So it gets a higher rating for that.  V's honesty within herself is something I enjoyed as well.  I love a great damaged character and she is just that, but she knows it.  She knows she is nothing more than the messed up chick people see her as.  I dug that about her.My only qualm is that I think the length hurts it, I would have liked to have seen a little more development in this installment.*copy provided for honest review*
