I'm not sure I like what I found when I got inside Dex's mind. Perry accused him of being an insecure, scared little boy & she hit the nail on the head! The reason he made love to her & then turned on her is because he won't admit his feelings for her without confirmation that she feels the same way. Now he knows she lied, that she really does love him, and he is working on getting his life back together. After a history of Dex's younger years, each chapter after that seems to summarize one book from Dex's perspective. Dex's relationship with his mother & father went into great detail & explained why Dex seems so lost & alone. It was disappointing to find out what a pig Dex had been when it came to women. At least it seems like he slept around because the ghosts couldn't bother him at night if he had a girl in his bed. I also appreciated the confirmation that Maximus should have never slept with Perry since she was possessed at that point. I wondered why Dex wasn't bothered by this more. He certainly is mad as heck with Maximus but he sees it as Max taking advantage of Perry. Apparently Perry gets a free pass because everyone seems to be in agreement that she wasn't herself. I loved the recap of the tent scene when Perry clings to Dex & says she needs him, knowing his life was in danger. Explaining how Dex grew up & how much this meant to him - it makes me understand his reaction more to the situation. I also liked that Dex was honest about his relationship with Jenn. It was all about sex & he never really felt any love for her whereas he feels this deep connection to Perry!
