Ahhh, the Paper Cup Seduction Technique. Reading this book at 30 is a bit horrifying, because the last bit features Bruce trying to rape a drunk Elizabeth. Yeah. Of course, the book never uses the word "rape", but that's what happens.
Even worse? Nobody calls the police. Since Elizabeth had been behaving in a flirtatious manner, I guess they thought Bruce should get off scot-free.


NNNNGH!

This show showed the brutal nature of rape culture and the harm it does to women without sugar coating it. It showed sexual assault in a very realistic manner.

Movie Favorite

"Not only is Kuroneko such a stunning-looking film, with a hypnagogic feel, the rape-revenge theme is strangely empowering. So many images from Kuroneko stick with me and have inserted themselves into my work."

Still not a patch on the first series, but a very gripping drama following the investigation of a rape in a small rural west country town. Very emotional scenes and the whole ordeal was very well handled.

Okay, it is official... I am putting this book in my "did not finish" pile. Rohypnol, rape, murder, and horrible writing/characters these are a few of my least favorite things. I haven't put a book in this list in well... forever. I am creating a "did not finish" shelf just for this book.

1st, the characters are 1 dimensional. I made it to page 90 and I just had to stop reading. The characters fell very flat.

2nd, this book reads like a high schooler's wet dream. There is the threat of rape, rape, and well... lots of sex.

3rd, I felt like the writer decided to add "big words" just to feel like a good writer. It felt like the writer had to use a thesaurus constantly.

I really wanted to like this book. It is suspense/romance which is my favorite genre but it just fell flat.
