Lots of five star reviews for this one - I'm guessing it's one of those books that dramatically improves as you read on. For my part, I took an immediate and intense dislike to the heroine. She wakes...she notes she can barely make it through each breath without breaking down due to her previous trauma...she decides, this particular morning, not to jump into bed with her brother for comfort, which is her usual MO. (Need I mention she's not a little kid, so something a bit off there.) And, despite going on about how she's so traumatised she barely makes it through each day, she manages to be all snarky and ballsy with her sibling when he tries being protective of her.Then, the final straw that saw this one boomerang back: she is Kaiya; she reveals her brother is Kamden; and her abusive relative is Kaleb. No, no, just no! I don't watch the Kardashians - I sure as heck don't want to read about someone who sounds like she's a messed-up, fictional relative of the clan (or should that be klan?).I guess I really need to start using the 'Sample Now' button (sigh).
