(I received this book for free as part of Goodreads First Reads giveaways).
(This review may contain spoilers).
The blurb of this book sounded particularly intriguing. How scary would it be to watch someone harmed live and be unable to do anything about it?
Although that does play a big part in the book, it wasn’t the only storyline. By the end, I’m still not sure how the two storylines fit together, if at all, but the characters were connected to each other.
I found the main characters to be well-written and well-rounded, though I did get a bit confused with other characters at times. Plus, a lot of the other males came across as really sexist – which made it harder to relate to any of them.
I found the book particularly easy to read. The different viewpoints did work to a certain extent, particularly when it came to Mia. I found it really easy to relate to what she was going through, even though I was only shown short snippets of it. I could experience her pain and I dreaded the announcements of when her torture (and, yes, it is torture) would take place.
Although this book was the second in a trilogy, I still found it really easy to understand what was going on. I found the book to be really well-written, with only a few errors. The characters weren’t perfect, but for the most part, they came across as real people.
I would be interested in reading the other books in this trilogy in the future. It would be good to see more of the main characters.
