Wow!! Where to start...I knew from the book description that this was gonna be a bit different from D H Sidebottoms usual books(with her teaming up with new author R M James), but it blew me away. Slightly darker then your usual romance, this book has a fantastic story that sucked me in and spat me out. Great storyline, lovable/hateable characters, great editing and the way it's written seems to be really smooth flowing, before you know it you're halfway through. We first meet Frankie and Tate when they're 9 and 15, and even then, there's a special bond between them. After that night Frankie disappears from Tates life and he can't believe it when 9 years later he finally sees her again, only for her to disappear again. Fast forward another 8 years and Tate FINALLY gets his hands on her again. Then it all just sort of explodes...Frankie is attacked and wakes up in a strange room, with some bloke she calls Jesus, and she is put through hell while the bad guys try to get her to give up what they want. Now, Frankie is one strong, stubborn woman and i absolutely loved her, full on girl crushing here. I'll stick a warning here cos this is when it gets a bit darker...To get the info they want, the 'baddies' have some inventive ways of getting her to talk, and there is violence, which is a bit uncomfortable to read but so fantastically written. There's twists and turns galore and i loved every single page of this book. As i've come to expect from D H Sidebottom, this book has it all, including some red hot sex scenes, and some sweet parts too. The characters are so complex, i didn't know who to like, who was good/bad, what was going to happen next and I definitely can't wait to find out more about Tates brother Jude and friend Niko. An absolutely mind blowing, highly emotional rollercoaster of a first book together by one of my all time favourite authors and new author R M James, who i will definitely be keeping my eye out for now, these two definitely make a great team together. Can't wait for the next book, i'd give this one 10 stars if i could.
