this book wasn’t at all what i was expecting or wanting.
from the summary i was expecting a dark mafia book, and from the first few pages i thought that was what i was getting.
it’s not at all that.
sure there’s elements of that deep in the background. ist mostly it’s a very over the top violent and graphically descriptions of rape, sexual violence, kidnapping and horrible mistreatment and torture (being literary urinated into the face for no other reason than to be crass is not what i signed up for!).
the writing wasn’t very great, it wasn’t horrible but not great.
and there was absolutely no character development at all.
there was no explanations or any realistic plot at any point in the story.
basically: if you want over the top graphic violence, torture and rape? unrealistic reactions to all of that and no development of any kind?
go for it.
if any of that is not your think?
not a book i would recommend.
