Holy crap on a cracker! This is going to be hard to write without colorful language. The last volume was probably the lightest but most emotionally intense and then crashes into this one, Three Years, which is the darkest one so far. Juliette is royally screwed to the nth degree in her current situation. It is hell on earth dragged out into long and painful days and weeks and months. If there was any doubt about Dornan being evil, those doubts should immediately be ceased. Dornan is vile and vicious and despicable. He is enjoying the slow burn of torture that he inflicts on Juliette physically, mentally and anywhere else he can infiltrate. Juliette is breaking but she is also surviving, even if it's only one second at a time. She still has enough sass to insult Dornan and to fight him with her attitude because she's tough like that, but Juliette is terrified on the inside. There's definitely no love or illusion of love between Dornan and Juliette, but for microseconds here and there, Dornan slips a hair of vulnerability fueled by his hatred because he's known Juliette her whole life in a pseudo-fatherly way until that one nightmare event that he unleashed on her and they aren't that different when it comes to revenge eating at their core. And then there's a surprise just waiting and as much as I hated with every fiber in me what Dornan's intent was, I also knew the truth and kept hoping and praying that I was right. Aside from the obvious, I'm still curious about why Dornan cares so much about the money that Juliette's dad hid. Unless it's an ungodly amount or there's something else with it, Dornan won't let this issue go, not to mention he's one tough mofo to kill off, and that really sucks big time into the next century. As for the ending note, well, a new can of worms opened and there won't be any answers until September unfortunately. I don't want to whine, but stringing me along like this makes me feel like a desperate druggie waiting for the next hit. Seriously awesome series, though!
