COMPLETE GARBAGE
I'm not even gonna play around with you. This book is utter sh*t. I'll give you the background that we're supposed to believe, and then I'll unload. If book burning is still a thing, let's throw this one in the flames.
The story we're supposed to believe is that when Micah (Tug and Blazes son) left for the Marines, he came home on leave 2 years later and had a one nighter with a woman he picks up in a bar, Ensley (twat). Somehow the condom failed because she squirted during sex. Then he comes home to a surprise baby and they get together. Yada yada
SPOILERS AHEAD hopefully none of y'all are crazy enough to still try and read/listen to this fic.
This book is filled with total boring shit, complete contradictions, and serious timeline issues. Ensley just happens to be cousins with Ryker, and part of the religious cult he left behind. If you'll recall, Ryker rescued his semi-sisters from the cult and ended up turning them into the FBI and getting them arrested. In this book we're going to just pretend NONE OF THAT HAPPENED. Ok ok ok. Also, in that last book, and then the beginning of this book, the girls have to sneak out of the house in the middle of the night. They're terrified of being caught and beaten. They have to make sure they don't step on certain floorboards because of creaks. In Ryker's book, he had to pull her through a basement window or something. YET we're supposed to believe that prior to Ensley escaping, she had just casually snuck out of the house to go party at bars two other times. 🔬 🔬 🔬 It's either so dangerous that you can't risk it, or it's way too easy if you've done it twice before.
Then, according to our previous info, the girls of the cult were set to wed at 16, and then waited until 18 to be married. So, Ensley just happens to be the exception to the rule and hasn't been married off to an old man?? Make that make sense?? IT DOESN'T.
Also, she apparently lost her virginity BEFORE she even meets Micah. How?! And where the hell did they get slutty clothes from to go to the bars in the first place? How did they get in, since they don't get IDs and are homeschooled, allegedly. How are they getting served alcohol? Where did they learn to dance like they do in the book? SO MANY QUESTIONS.
Honestly, I could go on for hours with all the crap that didn't make sense. To add to that, 99% is completely boring and useless information. USELESS INFORMATION for those that didn't hear me the first time.
The book is 5 hours 45 min. Micah and Ensley don't meet back up until the 5-hour mark. That's when I realized this story of Micah and Ensley spans over 3 MOTHERF*CKING BOOKS!!!! I hated the time I spent on this one, no way in hell am I wasting time on another 2 books. WTF.
If I didn't make my feelings clear, (1) this book is shit, (2) I utterly hate this book, and (3) this book should die a horrible, painful death.
