Deviant by Jaimie RobertsMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
::..Reviewed for Red's Midnight Readers..::
My actual rating is 3.5 stars. I love a good dark read, in fact the darker the better. I love feeling like have been put through the wringer and hearing many reviews about Jaime Robert's "Deviant", I figured this might just be the book for me.
However, I quickly realized that the plot was a bit over the top and the writing style fell a little bit flat. It was all kinds of messed up but dark? Not as dark as I was expecting or would have liked. It was just a whole lot of messed up; the story line and the characters even more so. However it had enough twists and turns to keep you reading, I never once considered putting it down and not finishing it.
However, I did enjoy the last few chapters of this book. The last few twists, although you do eventually work out for yourself what is coming before it happens, when it does happen you think "wow".
Despite everything that irked me about this story, I will be picking up the next book to find out what happens.
Don't let my review put you off. Although it is a dark read, it just isn't gritty enough for me to give it a higher rating.
In summary I liked this story, I didn't love it.
Blurb
Most fairy tales end with a happily ever after.
This is not a fairy tale. He is not her Prince Charming about to whisk her away into the sunset. This is a story about betrayal, lust, desire and, ultimately, revenge...
And revenge can only lead to one thing.
Tyler
He was my stranger, my visitor, my shadow in the corner of my room. He stalked me, watched me, knew everything about me. But all I could do was sit and wait. I waited for him to visit me night after night. He was becoming my addiction, my craving, my obsession. He knew every inch of me, but I knew nothing about him.
His calls himself Lotus and, as crazy as it sounds, I think I’m falling in love.
Dean
I wanted to take her, possess her, dominate her, and ruin her. I wanted to ravish her, please her, and consume her until I couldn’t take much more of her.
She will want me to kiss her. She will want me to hold her all night so that she feels a connection with me. I would make it so that she would seek me out in the dark. The one that satisfies her ultimate fantasy. A stranger who sneaks into her room. Someone who gives her the ultimate pleasure, but also seeks to give her ultimate pain. Pain she has never had to endure. Pain that will eat away at her until there is nothing left.
She was my nemesis, I was her lotus. And payback was a bitch.
