Every Ounce You Got To Give
A Love To Die For.
Similar to a hunting lion at the first signs of weakness, Saint Matthews, patiently stalks his prey. Callous and always calculated in his approach, this man wants nothing less than to devour you completely. But a cannibal, he is not. Saint much rather prefers that you do all of the dirty work yourself, prodded by tactful ploys and mental maneuvering on his behalf, designed to break your will and absolve your ability to fight him off before it was too late to save yourself.
Equipped with natural charisma and a thorough education in both the fields of psychology and sociology, this sadistic savant knows how to push the right buttons in you. But how will he respond once he finally has a face-to-face encounter with a person who has nothing to lose and enough fight in them to challenge him in ways that he could never imagine.
Urban book filled with psychological horror and suspense. Not for the faint of heart. Mentally-twisted. More sadistic than your average urban book.

what in the primary characters background fostered his behavior? The characters "special interest" started so young, but I don't recall a catalyst. Hopefully that will be revealed as I move forward. This was a interesting look into the mind of a sociopath. I don't know what happened in his childhood or life for him to engage in the behaviors that he did. Overall, interesting story and a change from the norm. The pace was rather slow, so the story tended to lull in a few places, but again good story.

Manipulate: to treat or operate with or as if with the hands or by mechanical means especially in a skillful manner. When dealing with relationships at one point or another someone in the relationship is going to try to steer it in a certain direction. Whether it be by physical or emotional guidance, the end result is someone is going to like the way that it is headed and hopefully for the relationship, both will be in agreement. What happens when the direction it is headed in is an unhealthy one? Who or how will this be redirected? Is it better to let just one person manipulate the flow or should this be a team effort? Is it possible for both parties to manipulate the relationship?
Saint Matthews is an interesting young man. From very young in life he did things his own way. Saint was never one to follow the crowd, if anything he had the masses following him. Saint never allowed anyone to get ahead of his thinking, he was always one maybe even two steps ahead of everyone else. When it comes to getting what he wants, Saint gets his way with everyone. Saint sought out his prey carefully and very specifically to what his needs were at that particular time. Saint played this game of cat and mouse very skillfully but how does it feel when the tables are turned? When the hunter becomes the hunted? Is there a way to get out of the cross hairs or will Saint fall victim and be on the receiving end of what he has put everyone else through?
Every Ounce You Got To Give is an intense read. At first you are wondering why would someone behave like this and then you are wondering how is this going to end because some just deserves are due. The flow of this story is constant, you will not have a difficult time reading this. The characters are not to complex for this freshman novel, you can understand and attempt to relate to them. The story gives you enough where you want to continue to read even if you are mad at the characters. The only distraction was the editing needs to be improved. Not too many typos where you can't understand the novel but just enough where you know they are there. All in all for a freshman novel it is a good read.
