What a disturbing and terrifying story! So disturbing yet so interesting to read!
I think this is only the second time that I've read something from the point of view of someone who needs help. The whole time I was reading the book I wanted to hug the hero, Joe, because he really needs help. And whats quite awful is that there's nobody there to push him to seek help. Joe is a very likable character, intelligent and sweet, yet damaged and disturbed.
While the heroine is one of the characters that I wanted to punch the whole time. I hated her from the get go. She's so self centered and shallow. She really doesn't deserve Joe.
From the beginning though I had a bit of a hard time understanding the writing because it was written in a way that the hero is speaking to the heroine in the first person manner. Eventually I got the hang of it because I felt that it was brilliant in getting the feelings of the hero across the readers. I felt his frustrations and his adrenaline. I also have to mention that though the sex scenes were not detailed, it was still arousing because the readers can feel the passion of the hero.
I think I have to stop now because I think it's best to start the book blind. Don't read spoilers to feel the impact of the twists.
This book is recommended to those who want to read stories about obsession.
