Ok wtf?!What is it with their dad being so overprotective?!? He's some sort of businessman , but why does he NEED to isolate his daughters and seclude them for their safety!?
He came from poverty , so it's not like his daughter's are blue-bloods to be kidnapped...
Bahahaha Thunderpants :) I laughed out loud... at work... As if people don't think I'm insane already :):):):D
Okkk, so he's actually PROTECTING HER ... I see... was there a reason why they had to kidnap her to do this!?
Right??! Seems a little dramatic to me. Why not just sit down and explain the situation? I love when the audiobook uses different narrators for each POV. It makes things much more enjoyable.
I know I'm jumping the gun here and being too impatient, but WTF?! Why are they being so dramatic?! A team of 3-4 people to protect one girl?! And they won't let her make a phone call?! And if they are protecting her, I'm assuming the father arranged this (since he already contacted Nox) - so why couldn't he have warned his daughters?! And why can't Nox explain things without all the secrecy and violence?! I mean - bad-ass drama queen much?!
Yasssss.. This all seems a little much. Her dad should have sat them down and explained everything. I'm sure the girls (her sister might have protested a bit) would have gone willingly to whatever secret location they had set up. And why exactly must they be in separate locations? And I was annoyed when he kept flat out refusing her a phone call when that was all that was needed for her 100% cooperation! Seems like it would have been an easier route to take
Stopping at 60% for a bit. I'll finish up later this afternoon. Just found out who might be behind the death threats. (view spoiler)
Seriously?!He tells her - "You need to grow the fuck up and stop behaving like a child!"
>> really ?! she's behaving like a child because she doesn't want to be kidnapped and randomly told that "it's for her own good"... What 22-year-old who has half a brain would just go along with this without putting up a fight and raising questions?!
But then, all he needs to do it lecture her and tell her it's for her own good for her to think "I made a promise to myself to never run away from Nox" > really?? Now you trust him just because he told you to?!
Sorry, I stopped at 25% to go to the gym on my lunch break, I'm back now and plowing on ... :D I will keep commenting until I get to 60% :D
"even though I don't like being kept here, she doesn't deserve my bitchiness" > ummm - yes she does, she's one of the 3 people keeping you captive...
Nox: "where is that fiery girl I've had under surveillance??"Lilly: "you broke her!"
Wow... took you 4 days to fuckin' break?!
correction, it took her only 2.5 days to have a nervous breakdown! And then... she thinks to herself...
"when is the last time he got some sleep?"
> who gives a f'ing shit when you CAPTOR got any sleep??
"This guy must have been conceived through back-door action! There's no way he could otherwise be such an asshole!" > Bahahaha... She just mentioned she hasn't seen him in almost a week - holy crap, time flies in this book, without much happening...
"I smell really bad, though, like hold-your-nose bad!" >> umm ew! I get that you exercised, but if you were relatively clean to begin with, there is absolutely no reason that you stink THAT bad! some healthy sweat - sure! But "hold your nose nasty" ?! gross...
Im 35% in... Just got home and increased speed to 2. Hahah I'm a lightweight- I can't do faster than 2, hahhaa i zone out and lose it :)

I'll finish up later this afternoon. Just found out who might be behind the death threats. [and it's a character who was mentioned like once or twice in passing. I literally had to do a search of his name in the ebook because I had no fucking clue. Were we supposed to be shocked and appalled? Well then i failed because my only reaction was "who?" (hide spoiler)]"
Yes!! Who the fuck is Jamie?!?!? Why is this such a huge shock - I don't remember him even being mentioned!!
And then he tells her how she was kidnapped when she was 13 by someone whose kid was sick and dying... Realistically she blames her dad for not paying for the kid's surgery, but the dude did give 20,000 so i mean....
- my kid's not here, so my husband and i went out last night and i stopped reading @70% ..... Continuing now!!
I'm finished. Let me know when you're done. I was pissed how she treated her dad at the end. Such a bitch
Why the fuck did the stupid bitch pick up her cellphone!? And then how did the killer know where the safe house was?!Couldn't have been by tracing her phone since it all happened only 2 minutes after the call!
Then - as the house is being bombed why are they all running to the van except for Nox, who stays behind- why?!? Why would he stay?!?
"My dad kept me so close to him that mom got tucked away in the corner" - what kind of weird family dynamics do these people have!?! She kept saying at the safe house how she never had family meals,etc.. Her dad kept her and her sister locked up at home - what else did they have to do other than spend family time together - yet apparently they never did!!
The nurses at the hospital are very quick to tranquillize her! Hahahahha im not sure that's suck a common practice....
Suuuuch a bitch to her parents - especially her dad!! She kicks them out of the hospital and blames them for everything YET THEN SHE TAKES HIS MONEY!! Says things like "he can't forbid me" and "i needed to take that money and start my own life" - ummmm YOUR DAD'S MONEY!! So no problems taking his money but doesn't want to talk to him!! Biiitch!!
Overall hated her in the end!!
Rock cries saying goodbye to her... Waving, kissing fingers, tapping his heart.... Why is everyone soooo melodramatic?!? Why do they have to say goodbye anyways?! Can't they stay friends if they love each other so much?!?!?
He's all broken , scarred, and has a prosthetic leg... Ok drama , drama, drama! It really wasn't written like a serious book- don't bring serious shit into it now!!!
Omg - comment Krissy, comment! :)
The entire end with her dad bothered me the most. It really really bugged me that she blamed him for every fucking thing to the point of refusing to talk or see him. But then of course takes his money. Then when she realizes Nox is alive then everything is just peachy. I also didn't get why they couldn't all be friends after the fact.
To me, this was one of those books that has tidbits added to it that attempt to make it a serious/deep book, but that just make no sense!!Like the relationship with dad...
Like the relationship with mom...
Like tackling the serious topic of sickness/someone loosing a limb...
Like the "heart-breaking" separation from her friends ....
All of these things were completely unnecessary in this book, or at least should have been handled better and EXPLAINED BETTER!!
I still don't realize what exactly she blamed her dad for?! The kidnapping? The not telling her she was in danger? Tge "death" of her boyfriend? Because , honestly, i wasn't sure why it was the poor guy's fault that u f*cked ur bodyguard and then he died protecting you....
If you ask me - she shouldn't have been a pushover at the beginning of the book and allowed her dad to stop her from having friends and going to college!! THIS is when she should have spoken up and demanded explanations!! Noo, at this point she blindly followed the rules like a brainless idiot , but noooowwww she won't speak to him after they all went through a traumatic experience.,..
ALSO - the whole "killer Jamie/Jed" thing was poorly construed
At some point i think Nox said "it was all because of his sick crush" -- because there was also mention of Jed (or whatever his name was) crushing on Tara... But he was killing because of money (not sure how killing Lily would give him money?!?) not because of his crush!! These are things that prevent me from giving a book more than 2*! I shouldn't have to guess at what the motives were and what the author meant to say...
Oh yeagh "they cant be friends after the fact" yet once they are married they CAAAAN be friends again?!? What changed??
