Do you have kids? Do you love them? Would you do anything for them? Really anything? Dan Meller once lived in a rundown trailer park. He was an alcoholic, addicted to drugs, and barely able to look after his little daughter, Selina. Today, Dan is clean and sober and seems to have made it. Together with his wife and two daughters, he lives in a pretty house on the outskirts of town, has a job, and only has the best intentions. The little girl from back then is now almost an adult. A pretty young woman. Daddy’s pride and joy. And of course he does everything to make up for what he screwed up in the first years of her life. But Selina looks at things a little differently. A dark abyss hides behind her radiant façade, because deep in her broken soul, she is still a neglected toddler. She needs her daddy so much! And Dan will do anything to make his beloved daughter happy. Really anything! You don’t want this girl to be your enemy!

This book very nearly became the very first DNF for me,but I'm afraid the OCD in me won't let me...I have to finish a book...that's the deal! So it became so boring and tedious I wanted to tear my hair out from it's roots. The story line in this book was so unreal it was unbelievable...it was dull and unexciting and I just couldn't take to any of the characters. Selina and Dan drove me fucking mad....what father and daughter would act like they did and do all this??? The worst book (I think) I've ever come across.Sorry…but it wasn't for me...I had to give it 1 star as I'm not able to give it zero 😕😒😖😧😠
Dieses Werk lässt mich tatsächlich sehr zwiegespalten zurück. Ich verstehe durchaus, dass die Autorin mit diesem Werk die Gesellschaft „wachrütteln“ möchte, aber müssen deshalb wirklich ständig die abfälligsten Worte benutzt werden? Natürlich muss es manchmal derb werden, um die Tragweite der Geschichte klar darzustellen und mir ist bewusst, dass dies manchmal mit einer enorm plumpen Sprache „rübergebracht“ werden kann, dennoch war es mir zu brachial. Ein bißchen weniger und die Geschichte hätte dennoch die Brisanz dargestellt. Im Grunde geht es nur um die Machtausübung durch Sex einer leider psychisch schwer kranken Person. Männer werden hier in diesem Buch nur über einen Kamm gesteckt, was mich dann doch erschüttert hat. Wenn es nach der Autorin geht, kennen Männer wohl nur den Gedanken an Sex. Andere Sachen gibt es anscheinend nicht. In manchen Phasen des Werkes wurde ein Spannungsbogen aufgebaut, der allerdings jedes mal auch gleich wieder rapide zusammenfiel. Für mich war diese Lektüre leider Zeitverschwendung und ich bin der Meinung, man könnte auf dieses extrem sensible Thema auch auf eine andere und bessere Art hinweisen. Obszönität ist für mich nicht gleich Bewusstseinsschaffung.
Growing up in a rough place, Selina has grown into adulthood more than warped. Having fantasies about her dad, she wants to make them a reality. How far will she go to get what she wants?
Selina was definitely a character I hated. Focusing in on the “men won’t be believed over women” this was a tough read. Watching how Selina can easily manipulate everyone around her was disgraceful. Sad thing is it is true. That women usually won’t be in trouble for sexual shite they do. On the run after several things go massively pear shaped they have to take someone else with them who tried to interfere. From there it goes even more wild. I was so invested with the story, I had to know what was going to happen next! I was not disappointed one bit
Wow I’ve read pretty much every splatter author. You my dear take the cake!!!! I’m reading everything you’ve written. Not so much for the ick factor but these things happen and what woman doesn’t wonder what sick things go on
Not great! Repetitive and cringeworthy! The basis is disturbing by any means but not written in a way that makes you want to vomit and pull your eyeballs out and that’s what I want from this genre of book - I noticed quite a few typos too which was annoying!
