I can't believe I finished this book.This is how I feel about this book & every character in it..."I don't like you"It kept me hoping that things would get better. So I will give it that. But I was hoping that things would get dark, & intense.. Or in a word? Deeper. More emotion. But it didn't. I wanted to care about the characters, but I don't.I was hoping for a real tangible point/reason to all the mess. Why the anti-hero was in this world to begin with. But that question was never really answered. You're never given a real reason why his back was against the wall in the first place.It had its moments of sick depravity, but it was only for sick depravity's sake. The "villain" delivering these acts were a joke. Why no one had been able to knock him on his %** years ago, I will never understand.The anti-hero of the story was a joke as well. Not only was there nothing redeemable about him, there was nothing heartfelt from him either. He was crazy for sure. How could he not be? But that was all. He didn't inspire the love & devotion that most anti-heroes inspire.For a time the only character I cared about was the heroine, but she quickly lost cool points with me when she decided to stay. WTHeck was that? Given her circumstances & what she had experienced thus far, who in their right minds would choose to stay after given the opportunity to leave? And her 2 reasons for making that decision did not fly with me. That did not read as true or realistic to me at all when she made that choice.And the ending? Puh-LeaseNope. Try again.I would not recommend this read.
