I love this writer's stories, but this one was at times too dark and violent for me. I mean, it worked as a realistic story of what men will do to survive in prison. Of course there will be rapes and violence in prison - sadly it seems to be a part of the prison life from what I have read. While I understood that this story was less of a romance than his other ones, it still seemed to have strong romantic elements in it and the romance that begins with such awful violence just did not work for me. I just did not see what Jack saw in Adder. I mean I get what he was supposed to see obviously, but I guess I was not convinced.Having said it if you like darkness and violence between the two main characters which transforms into romance, this story will be a perfect fit for you. His writing matures with every book and the  characters do come alive on pages.  I just could not swallow them together.
