First of all let me say Joel’s performance as always was wonderful of it hadn’t been for him I would not have made it as far in this story as I did. I was really heartbroken by this story line so much I couldn’t finish it Mals character was disgusting nothing like we see on book one and I was so looking forward to this book poor Bryce keeps being abused picked on lied to and attacked one way or another by Mal and I had just had my fill this was not a romantic story to me sorry and I really loved the first book but I doubt I’ll even read Garrett’s book since I can’t finish this one :/
