Review: I liked the idea behind this book, not so much the book itself.

Molly Malone is the daughter of a biker who is now in prison for drug dealing. He’s been arrested when she was thirteen which forced her to go live with an estranged mother that can’t even stand the sight of her.Nine years later strange things start happening to Molly and her friends and she has a feeling that everything is connected to her father.Enter Vaughn Winchester. He’s an ex Marine who’s trying to get over some bad stuff that happened to him. Somehow –it was not specified how or why- he ends up working for his sister who’s a DA and is preparing on a case in which Molly’s father is involved.Vaughn’s duty is to keep an eye on Molly and make sure no one hurts her.Took me a while to figure out who’s who and what’s what. Especially where Molly and Vaughn are concerned.I couldn’t understand Vaughn at all. She tried to picture him as a badass and, at the same time, a troubled character, but she failed. He came across as insecure and confused. If the author had in mind for him to be the hero of this story, I’m sorry to say this, but she messed up.And Molly… She’s supposed to be this though chick that spent half of her years surrounded by badass bikers and the crap that came with them. She keeps repeating over and over again that she’s strong and nothing can get to her and I had to try to keep up with her mood swings every five minutes.Then, there’s the relationship between her and Vaughn. What the hell happened with these two? Because I have no clue. There’s no development, it doesn’t make sense. The interactions between them seemed forced like 90% of the dialogs in this book.I liked Declan and Autumn so there’s a high chance I’ll read their story in the near future. That’s Chasing Serenity if you’re interested. Hey, the guy is hot as hell and Irish so, yeah… You get my point.Layla and Donovan. God, those two are combustible together. The pranks they play on each other are so hilarious I found myself laughing out loud many times which probably kept me reading until the end. So the book wasn’t a total waste of time after all.I can’t rate it more than 3 stars and hope she’ll do better with Layla’s story.Happy Reading!
