Three strikes:
1) Not a full story.
I was lucky enough to not have to pay for this book (thanks to the public library!). If you really want to read this, you'll need to read all three books and should only buy the set, otherwise you will read a book with no ending. This should be called a Serial, not a Series. There's a big difference.
2) Totally unrealistic.
You will also have to be able to suspend reality so intensely that the premise of this Serial becomes somewhat believable. I'll save the graphic details for my Goodreads review, but let's just say that if there was that much blood and a broken face, there's no way anyone would believe she asked for it. Not in a million years. There would, at the very least, be lube involved with consensual sex. And there would not be a broken skull. And don't get me started on a victim still having feelings for someone she believes so strongly was complicit in her torture. Raine takes it a little too far here and sacrifices believability for sensationalism. Poorly done, in my opinion. We get some reprieve from rape in the second book (a little)--and only because it's from Drew's POV--but we're right back there in the third with some icing on the top. I really got sick of hearing and reading about Lindsey being exposed to the public in multiple ways. Couldn't get past that.
3) Unlikable protagonist
It might just be me, but the main character never earned my sympathy. It think it might be because Raine spends too much time dwelling on the rapes and her burdens that she never gives us any other insight into this character. And, really, how could you ever really like a character who, at 23, still calls her father Daddy. I mean, NO! Just NO! Drew is much more likable in the second "episode" of the serial, but you still question why he wouldn't have just come out and told Lindsey the freakin' truth from the get go. So far fetched. The reason we're given is not convincing enough.
Lastly... Dreams! Too many dreams. It's like Raine needed to fill pages so she made us read through Lindsey's and Drew's recounting of their odd dreams where no new information or revelations are delivered. TORTURE! That's what this book should be names. TORTURE... for the characters and the readers.
