I'm a huge horror movie fan, unfortunately, there are times when they can slide into the torture porn track. The early/mid 2000s really had this problem. This book is starting to give me that icky ish feeling I can get while watching a film where a woman is being tortured, in a pretty sexual way, in some loner dude's basement because scary story and reasons. We have our main character Addison be abandoned by her father, hated and uncared for by her druggie whore (an actual "I get paid for the this" whore) mom, raped at age 13 by her mother's pimp, constantly have to fight off her mother's johns, find someone to love her but then abandons her, mother's pimp rapes her more frequently, watches her mother die, shots pimp, and finally on run from pimp. Whew! Can a girl get a break?!? Look, I know the author wants the reader to understand Addison has had a shitty life, but damn, choose two or even three and leave the rest in your tool box for the next book. Addison is very vocal about letting people know she was raped and as the reader, we hear it over and over what has happened to her. Good and great that Addison, as a character, can vocalize this. However, as the reader, my real problem comes in at the flashbacks. In this we get the description of events in Addison's past. Attempted rape and actual rape accounts. So not only do we have Addison, many times, vocalizing her rape, we have detailed flashback accounts. Now, I do not think just because it's rape, it shouldn't be discussed, and I get the author is trying to convey why Addison acts and reacts the way she does in the present. In my opinion, which no one else may be experiencing, I'm getting that icky ish feeling and saying it's starting to read like torture porn. I'm really struggling on the review here. This had some very controversial issues going on here and I have really mixed feelings. It's 20/20 really... damned if you do and damned if you don't. I enjoyed the book when it stayed in the present. The past portions were tough and very uncomfortable. Unfortunately, the past portion was needed or I would have despised Addison... I wouldn't have believed that she was 21 unless I knew her past. 2.5 stars for me is all I can really give. I will read more in the series because I know these past issues with Addison won't be an issue moving forward. Jesus, talk about whiney and needy... This girl, Addison is such a lame character, she singlehandedly destroyed the story. This is not a biker book, this is a book about a girl that takes her 'sad' life and shoves it down anybody's throat for a sense of worth... I didn't like her, she was a hypocrite, two-faced and expected the world to have double standards when it came to her. Every other woman was a bitch and a whore, but of course she wasn't even if she was doing the same thing. The author may have written about her 'hard' life but you couldn't see it by her actions. She read like a spoiled cheerleader. The blurb talked big, but the novel delivered small. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Not for me.
Can't stand the female mc. If she was a real person I would avoid her like the plague.
Hate the way it's written. The author jumps to the past then back to the present in each and EVERY chapter.
Drove me crazy.
Also, the reasons for the father/mother/daughter (female mc) relationship and their actions flatout did not make sense to me. That is another reason I couldn't stand this story.
It is definitely adult with a ton of adult content including sex.
