It had its moments, but I found it hard to stay engaged. The constant back and forth between timelines was really annoying. Just when the story began to grab me in either the past or present, it would shift, causing me to lose interest over and over. But once it finally stuck to one timeline, I was fully in. Still, I found the book to be pretty good overall and am curious to explore more from this author.

What I am saying is that I haven’t made friends with the genre as much as I would like to. Admittedly I have to say Penelope Douglas is slowly shifting my gears. I read this with my friend Anna and somehow, she couldn’t get into it as much as I did because I had it finished in a day and she is still working on it. Sadly, I don’t know if she finished it. I loved the dark atmosphere and the romantic undertones that Ms. Douglas writes so beautifully. I haven’t fully gotten a feel for her writing style just yet, but to me, it seems that she loves to push her characters to their maximum limit and then go a bit further just for good measure. (my kind of book) Rika (Erika) is treated like a fragile child. She is protected by those around her at all times. She is constantly being held back and she needs to spread her wings and fly. Then one-night Rika steps out on her own and stands up for herself, showing just how much people have underestimated her all this time. This is the first time she has shown her inner strength and it does not go unnoticed especially by Michael who I loved. Michael is always indifferent around Rika like she doesn't exist. It felt like it was that Katy Perry song Hot and Cold at times. Each chapter is taken from either perspective and it adds so much to the story. Throughout the story, we are taken back to a particular day, three years earlier. This is a day that had a huge impact on Rika, Michael and his friends. It is that day, that lays the foundation for the turmoil that takes place between the cast of characters. Along with the suspense angle, there is also the 'will they, won't they' between Rika and Michael. There is so much more that I can say about this story but I don’t want to ruin it for anyone. I will say that I am hoping to read book two in the early days of 2020.
I won't spoil the plot here; with every chapter, each character's motivations are further unveiled, secrets are disclosed, and the lines between love and obsession are blurred. That thread of "I want you" runs steadily through the whole book, and the tension is palpable............... Appartient à la sérieDevil's Night (1) Est contenu dans
Erika: His name is Michael Crist. My boyfriend's older brother is like that scary movie that you peek through your hand to watch. He's handsome, strong, and completely terrifying. The star of his college's basketball team and now gone pro, he's more concerned with the dirt on his shoe than me.Michael: Her name is Erika Fane, but everyone calls her Rika. My brother's girlfriend grew up hanging around my house and is always at our dinner table. She looks down when I enter a room and stills when I am close. I can always feel the fear rolling off of her, and while I haven't had her body, I know that I have her mind. That's all I really want, anyway.Until my brother leaves for the military, and I find Rika alone at college. In my city. Unprotected. The opportunity is too good to be true. Because you see, three years ago she put a few of my high school friends in prison, and now they're out. We've waited. We've been patient. And now every last one of her nightmares willcome true.Contains mature themes. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

If you get a chance to read Corrupt by Penelope Douglas do it.
Holy titfire. This book had me riveted from start to finish. I ignored phone calls, eating, and any form of communication. I was enthralled as soon as I read the teaser, "Run all you want, Little Monster,” he said, sounding like a threat. “We’re faster.”
Mind blown. One of the best of 2017 and one of the best period. I'm eagerly awaiting the next in the series. It had one of the hottest scenes I have ever read to the point I am pretty sure my kindle was smoking (God knows I was). You will know it when you read it. And read it you must. Michael the Alpha is one of the best alpha's I have ever read, and Reeka the heroine is top notch. Side characters (mmmm Kai) are swoon worthy as well. The books are standalones but there will be four in the series. I cannot wait until July 7th for Kai's story. ( )
