Review: Just. Too. Much.  MINOR SPOILERS
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 07 1, 2014
Kidnapping, sexual enslavement, graphic rape, torture, dismemberment and murder filmed for pleasure and profit...and that's just the first chapter.  From there the story continues to beat the reader over the head with elements of BDSM, sexual predators and their sometimes willing victims, and the seedy underworld of bodies for sale.  I realize that the author is trying to set the atmosphere and create the world in which her main characters, the angel Xander and Karinna, meet and will face their challenges, but after a while the sheer repetitiveness of the horror and brutality loses it's impact and just becomes annoying.  So much so, in fact, that I had a tough time really connecting with the two main characters.What allowed me to give this two stars instead of one was the author's little character surprise near the end and her willingness to allow consequences to happen.  In other words, there is NOT a stereotypical HEA.  The good news is that the story does come to an end, the main characters reach a resolution and reading the next book in the series is not necessary.
