Review: It was the heroine...
Rating: 3 out of 5

I was so excited to read this book.  I love these types of book and I was so in the mood for dark.The heroine let me start is not likable at all.  She is loud, obnoxious, and rude.  Plus she is a drunk that finds herself in the morning next to men she cannot remember their name.  Yes, she is a slut.The book is written in dual POVs. I think I would have preferred for the POVs just to be in Gabriel’s. Maybe just have Eleni’s POV as the first chapter so you have an idea of “who” she is and why she acts the way she does.  A lot has to do with her history so some I could understand…almost.  I just did not like her and honestly could care less what happened to her and that was the problem.  At first I thought that her behavior was just towards certain people and she would not behave like that to everyone, but Eleni was vulgar and outrageous towards everyone.These two characters had so many issues between them.  They were both “nuts” in their own way.  Usually the more issues the characters, the more attracted I am to them.  However, there has to be something redeeming, something I understand and there was nothing.This is my biggest issue with this book…the unprotected sex that Eleni has with strangers.  Yes, she is drunk, but she wasn’t that drunk.  She still knew what she was doing.  I originally thought that she just did not care about herself because of her constant negative attitude and all her drinking, but then she talked about her last semester in college and getting “all aces.”  This girl normally had sex with strangers and she has unprotected sex with strangers in public bathrooms.One of the best things about this book and why I wish it was all written in Gabriel’s POV was being in the mind of a sociopath.  I loved seeing his darkness.  I just wish he had a better heroine, a better muse.A copy was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.
