Tormentor Mine by Anna Zaires
2.0
“There is no beauty without ugliness, just as there’s no happiness without sorrow. We live in a world of contrasts, not absolutes.”
I came across this book on Kobo this week, saw its high rating and decided to give it a shot. I've never read a dark romance book before so I was really tempted to check this one out. The author is also unfamiliar to me so it was interesting to see how her writing style was.
Honestly, the book kind of gave me the creeps. I think it's the fact that I'm not used to this genre yet but I was squirming in my seat the whole time, unable to stop reading though. I still managed to read it in one sitting because I had no idea what to expect throughout the whole thing. It was really out of my comfort zone which explains the 3 star rating.
The male character, Peter, was a complete psycho. I did not like him. I mean, that was the whole point of his character but I realized how I do not like psychos, no matter how good looking they might be. I hate how he threw himself into Sara's life and how she could not do much about it. I understand that Peter had a troubled past and all that but I don't know, I just felt uncomfortable whenever he popped up again.
“One can live in the darkness and see the light of the sun; it’s even brighter that way.”
The style of writing was good, the events did all tie together, which was probably the only reason I gave it 3 stars and not lower. Also due to the fact that I could not stop reading it. Whether it was out of fear or interest, I have no clue.
I just hate the overall idea of forced love, especially in cases where one of the main characters happens to be a psychotic obsessive freak. I didn't like either of the characters. I know Sara did not have much choice but I still did not like the choices she made in the ending. I feel like Sara was just driven by her lust making her limp and spineless. I don't think I will read the rest of the books in the series. I've went through enough torture. Again, it might be because I'm not familiar with this genre but that was not the best book to start with.
I think I'm a really generous star giver. But, anyway, if you like dark romance books with crazy male leads, this book is for you. Not my cup of tea though.
Actually, I'll be changing my rating to 2 stars. Just the thought of the book's events and characters again made me dislike it more and feel uncomfortable all over again.
