Review: Intriguing Read

So, I was kind of hesitant to read this because I know it is a serial, which can be frustrating because you only get so much at once and then you have to buy each installment and that can get quite pricy, so in the end you have one full, expensive book.  It looks like the next one in this series is only 99 cents right now, so not bad at all I'm happy to say!  As for the story.  It is sad, intense, and dark.  Our H/h are both surviving after loss/trauma/uber painful one-time events, but neither one of them are coping.  Link is consumed with revenge, and Rocky is focused on acting reckless just to feel that she can survive and it won't happen again.  I was instantly involved in their lives and stories and need to know what happens next!  Which is great writing for a serial- you caught me!  I can feel the danger and violence coming and I don't know how I feel.  Is violence answering for violence the right answer, knowing that the legal system most likely can't help you?  That is the question isn't it.  I want to see them heal and live again.  For once, I'm actually glad it is a serial so that I can let the story sit, and perculate, and get my head on straight to understand motives and choices.  Link is pretty torn about what he wants to do, so I'm right there with him.  Being so short we really do only get a taste for the characters, but I think their transformations will really endear us to them in the end, because though Rocky comes off a bit flippant, I know that is definitely a result of the event she lived through.  Nice start.
