I’m totally unable to put my finger on it just yet but something about this really struck a chord with me.
And something else about Charis in particular. I’ll be thinking about her for a long while.
It is of course, well written.

It is not a lighthearted story obviously, but neither is it without Light and hope and even humor- much like life.

I read this while at work, and I still finished this book in under 4 hours. It is seriously that good that you just can't put it down. For Robin Roe's first novel, he hit it out of the park. The book is about two teenagers, Adam and Julien, and the viewpoint switches seamlessly between the two throughout the book. There is never any confusion on who is talking or what is going on. Now, the book does revolve around child abuse, so for those sensitive to this type of plot, this story may not be the best for you. While the story of child abuse is devastating (I definitely caught myself trying to hold back tears a few times), the way the story is told will make you feel like you're in the situation that the characters are in. You can feel elation, fear, love, and everything in between with this novel. Everything about this book was great and I would definitely recommend it to others who aren't sensitive to child abuse.

And I thought my family was twisted!

Andrews really puts you into the story and into the mind of Cathy. But there is a LOT of mature content in this book! Wow! Between rape, incest, child abuse, and psychological trauma, you'd think it would be a depressing experience but you're rooting for the kids the entire time! But take it from me...draw out a family tree to keep track of who is who.
AT (1676 KP) rated Black Butler, Vol. 27 (Black Butler, #27) in Books
Nov 17, 2019 (Updated Nov 17, 2019)
The Black Butler series has taken an extremely dark turn. The story focuses on Ciel's horrific past, and how he came to make a contract with Sebastian. I enjoy the very different feel of the story at this point, but this volume definitely wouldn't be for everyone. There are various degrees of child abuse, some of which are very violent. This turn in the story gives the story a lot more dimension.
