Untouchable

This is one of those books that I know in real life I'd cock punch the hero (use pretty loosely here) and throw gas on him and than light him on fire, for the horrible thing he pulls right out of the gate of this book. I mean I was reading those first chapters with my hand in front of eyes peeking between my fingers. I really couldn't fathom what I read and like a car crash...I couldn't look away.

I kept reading and thinking no way I'm going to like this a-hole and no way I'm going to be convinced the heroine somehow magically falls in love and I'd believe it. But to my utter shock I found myself invested and actually liking Carter Mahoney. By the time I closed the book I could believe that our heroine Zoey fell for him. It's crazy but it happened. I am still shocked myself. It's that same confused feeling I had when I ended up loving Caleb from Captive in the Dark. You know it's all wrong and you keep telling yourself this is fiction cause in the real world none of this would be OK at all.

I will warn others right now this is not a book for everyone. There is some serious crap that happens right away and is unforgivable and frankly makes the hero a messed up psychotic sociopath. The fact that they are seniors in high school but are 18 years of age will be a hard pill so swallow for others. I mean it, it if you even remotely want to give this book a chance and you think After books by Anna Todd or Beautiful series by Jamie McGuire were dysfunctional and abusive then you will definitely not like this book cause those books in my opinion aren't even dysfunctional and abusive at all compared to this one.

Somehow I still found that I enjoyed the messed up and crazy story of Carter and Zoey. As crazy as it was. Seriously not sure if my review even makes sense. Anyway read it if you enjoy those dark crazy romance.
