Another free read for me and sadly another that put me off getting free kindle books, if this is the quality.I'm maybe being a bit unfair here as I started skimming the book at about 30% and gave up when I was about half way through, but I just couldn't go any further.The storyline was so over the top. Given the synopsis I expected the heroine to suffer some trauma but it was so over blown that it was difficult to care. Plus no time whatsoever was taken to try and build the story, even from the outset. There is no build up for the abuse or explanation for any of the characters behaviour.. The heroine goes from being Cinderella in the attic (seriously) to being subjected to OTT physical abuse from her mothers partner in the space of 5 minutes. It was silly and for me it just ended up with me not caring at all what happened to her.This story could have had potential if the author had dialled down the melodrama but in its current form I found it a bit of a mess. Definite DNF.
