Unfortunately, I didn’t enjoy this one. While I sympathised with Cameron and the horrors he’d endured at the hands of his ex wife, I thought the handling of her evilness was truly awful. She was described as falling into a “melancholia” after the birth of her son, which in today’s terms would be called post natal depression. But not only that, she was forced to have a baby she didn’t want as she never wanted to be mother. Don’t get me wrong, this doesn’t excuse her sadistic behaviour (which was bordering on a little unbelievable at times, tbh) but these facts (as well as labelling her a sex addict and a whore) seemed to be lumped in with the atrocities she’d done, as if they were just as bad as her being an abuser!! It made me feel uncomfortable and sucked all my enjoyment from the story. This is why I hate the villainous woman trope.
I’m starting to wonder if the first book in the series was just a fluke, because book 2 and 3 have been either lacklustre or insensitive.
