Possession by T.M. Frazier

3.0

I am completed addicted to T.M. Frazier's books. Doesn't matter how dark they get I'm there to devour them.

Once again, listened on audio book (as I have with all of T.M. Frazier's books). They are the same from the previous one and they're great.

Huge CW: there is a lot of post rape moments, most of the rapes we don't see but the set up and the aftermath is there. So please be aware of that if you're going to read this one.

However this was probably one of my least favorites, I still...I don't know if enjoyed is a great word to use for this one since most of this book deals with during and after EJ's rape and also the aftermath of of her being taken and raped again by Marco's men. But I was glued to the audiobook all day, didn't want to put this down.

While I, for the most part, like Grimm and EJ at the same time they weren't very bright in this installment. They both had their dumb moments in the first book but this one just added onto those and I couldn't go along with it.
SpoilerWhen "Gabby" is brought into the hospital, no one actually checks to see who it really is. Immediately when they are told that she's been brought in with a clean thru and thru gun shot to the shoulder I was suspicious. A clean shot, in an area that isn't life threatening, and that's the only damage done to her...from this very violent, rapey gang. Sure. Then when Grimm has to leave and doesn't leave anyone there to protect EJ just his mom (adopted mom), and then EJ just magically falls asleep waiting for the doctor to come out. The amount of eye rolling I did was giving me a headache. Of course it's a set up and she's going to be recaptured again.


But despite some of the roll my eye moments, I loved that we saw Preppy again! His moment with Grimm was awesome. Also King made an appearance which was a nice treat as well.

As I was listening, I was kind of left with the feeling that even w/o having read book 3 yet, that this installment could have been split up and put into the end of book 1 and the beginning of book 3. There was, what could have been a cut-off point at about the half way mark of this book and the other half probably could have been put with book 3 and just made this a duet. I might change my mind when I listen to the last book but right now I don't think this needed to be a trilogy.

Can't wait to read the final installment.
