Status Updates From Logan's Choice (Dark Hollow...

Sigh, I am done. There was so much good here, plenty of themes I love, such as humiliation, self-esteem struggles, force and submission and dominance, but it was just all so twisted around. The biggest killer was the cock-sure perfection of Daddy Ian. Fuck him. 5 stars for idea and some dark themes and tense scenes, 1 star for development.

Three pages later. ENRAGED.

O mah gawd, now Ian is gonna discipline the defiant little wife cuz he knows better, is seeing her best interests at hear, and this silly, immature rebellion needs to be beat out of her? Dear lord, please make Logan hate Ian after this. Sweet Jesus, if he thinks, "Yes, Ian was right and protecting me from myself," I will be ENRAGED.

Yay! Go Logan, go! Fight back! Kick Ian in the nuts! You do know yourself better than those perfect fucking wolves.

Well, at least Logan wonders if he's being manipulated. He acknowledges he is under some 'compulsion.' But I hate how he keeps going back to his much he loves Ian. I hate how the wolves are portrayed as perfect. They're no better than Logan's father, manipulating Logan for their own ends, under the guise of it's for the best of all.

He would have killed him if Logan didn't join them?! My gods, so much mind-fuckery presented as 'he just needs to learn to accept himself and the arrogant assholes who all seemingly know him better than he knows himself' going on in this story and 'new' Logan is expected to happily fall in love... and he seems to be doing just that! Nothing kills my interest in a story like insensible, unacknowledged ludicrous-y.
