dark tense fast-paced

2.5

The first part was promising. Good girl with daddy issues runs in to a bad boy with a traumatic past. For once I thought we were going to get a female lead who is a good person at her core but who isn’t a complete idiot. For example,

she's rightfully suspicious when he randomly shows up at her workplace after they met only once without her giving him the address.

She seemed to have some common sense and self preservation at first until she goes on an actual date with him, after which it’s like she got a lobotomy and her whole personality got wiped out. The second half is just Stockholm syndrome galore. I didn’t buy their “love” at all, I felt like there was no emotional connection between the two main characters, at best they are just horny for each other. He treats her like shit the whole time and she just decides she’s okay with it because of her daddy issues I guess. I also didn’t care about the whole mystery/plot surrounding the drug cartel. 
There was an annoying amount of  misogyny and women hating, not just from the male characters, but the narrative itself. Wendy is this virginal, innocent and pure creature who is secretly yearning to be fucked hard and that makes her special. Meanwhile all other women in this book are superficial, evil and vapid. They just jealous of her and they don’t act like people at all, but like caricatures of themselves.
It’s not the worst thing I have read, but it feels like wasted potential.

Whewwwww, I could not have cared less about any of the characters, or the plot, or any aspect of this story. Literally trudged my way through to the end 😬
