Holy shamoly!!! I feel like my eyes are popping out of my head. What an explosion of feelings. I'm angry, but sad and totally determined to see everything put back to rights.
King was a brilliant story with characters that at times you loved and times you hated. The one character who stayed true to herself from the very beginning was Doe. Considering what this character faced, she was strong. A homeless and starving woman with no memory is forced to make a choice that could on one hand protect her, the other hand, ruin her for the rest of her life. Thing seem to go from bad to worse when her life is put in danger when she catches the eye of King.
Brentley King has had a hard life. He's done some time and committed crimes that would turn your stomach. His lifelong friends, Preppy and Bear, are his partners in crime...and partying. King has just served three years in jail. On his release, Preppy and Bear organise a party for him where he meets Doe.
King and Doe don't start off well. This story shows the journey and battles they face to find a place in each other's lives. King makes some knuckle headed decisions that made me cranky. There was one particular bit that had me squinting and reading with one eye open because he really, really shouldn't have gone there. Luckily I got over it, moved on and forgave him...for a little while.
Then....
King...WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING????
That ending....
Luckily, I didn't start this without having Tyrant ready to go. It was like I planned it all along. Quiet from the peanut gallery. I can hear you all calling me a liar, liar, scaredy cat. I tell you it was planned...
