This was on my maybe shelf. My suspicions about it were proven true. FOR ME...it was another hot mess. Over the top drama....which is fine if that's what flips your switch. I got tired....this book made me tired. Tired of rape and tired of killing and sex and strippers and bikers. Syntax was not my cup of tea. I'm sure plenty of people will give it 5 stars because they are totally cool with all of that.
