I...it...ummm.
Not for the faint of heart! This book is banned from Amazon. THIS BOOK BANNED!! That gives you a tiny bit of what this book is.
I'm just going to vent here but there's no other way to explain this book. In any way. First, I need to put it out there, I have read some disturbing, dark, stuff...BUT THIS TAKES THE CAKE!!
Alexzander has been put through hell his whole life. And when I mean hell I mean the worst of the worst. So to say, he has issues.
Ophelia has some trauma herself. Abusive, alcoholic father, she wants nothing more than to save enough money and leave. Working as a waitress, Ophelia waits on her regulars, one being Alexzander.
Alex and his brother Gunnir as sick fucks! Molded like their sick, twisted, psycho father they kidnap, torture, abuse, use for their urges then when they get bored, they dispose of them.
Picture java the hut but about a million times worse, that's his brother Gunnir. They are keeping a woman in their basement when Gunnir gets irritated that Alex never has sex with their victim once they were used but them. So he comes up with a plan, to get him his own toy.
Alex is obsessed with Ophelia so he chooses her and captures her and puts her with the other woman. This book gets right into it! Immediately does it make you feel uncomfortable and uneasy. Alex assaults Ophelia and makes it clear that she's his and his alone. Gunnir is forbidden to have his way with her, but there's other ways around that.
Chained, bruised, beaten, starved, abused etc. these women are put through unimaginable torture, especially Sam, Gunnir's victim. Even though they're both in the same position, Ophelia gets a cleaner, "gentler" monster. You have to remember, though you don't forget often, this dude is not a white knight. The evil things they were forced to do as children, and continue to do because Gunnir, the sickest of them, sees it as a great way of living. While Alex feels guilt for what he does, has done, but gets a hard on when they fight back.
If you think you reading this is going to be easy or a good book to chat about, you're WRONG! Even though Alex "saves, protects" her from Gunnir, he's still abusing her, she's still his captive. There are moments where you think it can't get worse, it does. Where you think, there's no way that's going to happen. The author says "bitch hold my beer."
It has been about years since I have finished a book in 24 hours. It's not that it's good, because it's not. It's not the writing, it's the content. The experience you have while reading it. I truly had no idea where the book was going to go or how it could possibly end. I think that's what pushed me into finishing it as fast as possible. There has to a light at the end of the tunnel that will relieve what you have just read.
I will NEVER read this book again and I will talk about it so that I can vent for that I was just put through. Recommend it? WITH AS MUCH WARNING AS POSSIBLE. I have never felt so unsettled, speechless, uncomfortable and really not knowing what to do after. Rating this book was the hardest thing to do because I don't know. Exactly that, I don't know.
What the fuck did I just read?
