Wow! What a hot, dark and dizzying drama. I was captivated. So much angst, emotion, passion and fire. This isn't just another New Adult college story. USED's unique plot, complete unpredictability and delicious steam kept me up way past my bedtime. I HAD to know how it all played out and, to my delight, discovered that this was just the beginning! I can't wait for FREED! Denver is in for quite an education.Be Warned:USED contains some pretty heavy and triggering subject matter for those who might be sensitive to themes of sexual violence and rape. Halat's depiction is not overly gratuitous or explicit, but it is certainly uncomfortable and haunting. I myself found USED at times to be quite difficult to read. For all the sweetness, sass and fabulous sex, there is also aggression, terror and despair. Not to say that there isn't any joy here, there is, but it always seems to come at a price.If you can bear it, I highly recommend it- pain and all.
