Review: Interesting but lacks development

This is an interesting story of a woman who becomes empowered after engaging in repetitive, abusive relationships.  This is a really quick read that would benefit from more in-depth character development.  Perhaps a greater history of her relationships would help and at the least more details of abuses she's suffered and why she remained with these men might help move us to the conclusion that murder is an acceptable solution in any of these cases.  For me this was a good premise that was rushed through to the end and could have been a substantially better read with just a little more effort from the author.  Also consider that the empowerment works specifically because the woman is a victim.  But if the storyline proceeds as suggested at the end she becomes less of a victim and more of the villain.  And that undermines the entire premise of the gift.
