I haven’t touched a human in three years. That seems like it would be a difficult task, but it’s not. Not anymore, thanks to the internet.I am, quite possibly, the most popular recluse ever. Not many shut-ins have a 200-member fan club, a bank account in the seven-figure range, and hundreds of men lining up to pay for undivided attention.
They get satisfaction, I get a distraction. Their secret desires are nothing compared to why I hide… my lust for blood, my love of death.
Taking their money is easy. Keeping all these secrets… one is bound to escape.
What if you hid yourself away because all you could think of was killing? And what if one girl’s life was depending on you venturing into society?
Enter a world of lies, thrills, fears, and all desires, in this original thriller from A. R. Torre.
I have had this on my TBR for years. I’ve heard so many good things about it nearly from the time it came out. I’ve had it on my Kindle for three years. Yet I never picked it up. I didn’t pick it up because I was scared. Not from the content, although that could be intimidating to some, but I was scared that this book just wouldn’t live up to the hype it had gotten. The hype got even worse when I joined Goodreads and could read other reviews on it. Although, that did cement the fact that I had to read this book. At some point. In the future. Well, that future is now. And I’m kicking myself in the ass for not reading it sooner. This book was addicting. I could not get enough of it. I never knew exactly where it was going, so I couldn’t stop reading. Because I needed. to. know. If you don’t mind a book with a lot of sex (cyber sex mostly), murder, very descriptive scenes of violence, kidnapping, and probably any horrible thing you can think of, this is definitely a book to not wait on. The characters were weird, unpredictable, and unreliable. This book is from multiple perspectives but it doesn’t take away from the plot at all. It makes it more intense. I wouldn’t say this was a fun read, but it was quite the journey and I’m glad I finally picked this one up!
The good:
- The writing
- The characters
The bad:
- Sometimes the book felt a little boring, especially Jeremy’s parts. Sorry, Jeremy!
- Could have done without about half of Jeremy’s chapters
The ugly:
- Nothing ugly about this one!
