While I am a fan of dark, a la Pepper Winters, M.S. Willis and CJ Roberts, this was not the kind of dark I expected.  Gabriel was almost too far off of the rails to find any redeeming qualities about him.  Both characters in this book were so messed up it was hard to get in their heads to understand what they were doing.This isn't a sexy book at all.  It is more abusive than anything, something that didn't interest me.  Those kind of actions are usually followed up with softer ones that make you understand why he was doing what he was did.  Gabriel's scars were all hidden, which made it difficult to understand why he locked himself up in that house.Elani was just a trashy, drunk, shallow girl that made it to school every so often if she wasn't hung over.  She was a bartender and pretty much did any guy that looked her way.  She had zero redeeming qualities.The book was well written and I have read Lily White before, so I kind of knew what I was in for. This dark road was a different and it didn't interest me.
