Well... it's a bit too weird for me.
And the “dirty talk” wasn't quite as dirty as I hoped for. I mean, pseudo-incest is all good and so, but... it's a bit too pseudo to be working. They are just calling each other siblings, they aren't that. It's just a fantasy role play.
The sex wasn't very sexy, or inventive, and the violence was... too meaningless. Butt-raping a guy with a broken bottle was kind of... how to say it... interesting? but also... I don't think it would have been that easy, or even possible.
Some of the descriptions were also... what? Like the kitchen scene. He pushes her to the window and she presses her breasts against it, then in the next scene, her back is against the window. She is bent backward to give the guy a blowjob, and her saliva dribbles on her chest. What? There's more things like this in the book. I assume Mila started writing the scene with one position in her mind and ended it thinking something different.
And the good guy/bad guy changes gave me whiplash. In one scene he is truly sadistic, the next he's kind and mild. What is he, a wolf or a sheep? They want to hurt her, but they don't want to hurt her. They enjoy her fear and anger, but they don't want her to fear and be angry. What is it?
The camera in the tree was stupid. How would they know she'd be there at that time? And they didn't need it either. So stupid.
The idea is interesting, and it's acceptably well written and edited, so that didn't bother me, but... it wasn't very well plotted or thought through. I suppose this is one of these “books” written in a couple of days for money. It's not bad, but it's not good either.
