TRIGGER WARNING WITH THIS BOOK

I went into this book as blind as possible with so many people talking about it I just wanted to read it myself. Rarely do I say I wish I had listened to the trigger warnings more. This book isn’t for the faint of heart, that's for sure. I is about a seventeen-year-old girl name Terrian whose parents committed suicide and left her to her step-uncle Jake and his two grown men in the mountains of Colorado. Every character in this book is manipulative, has bad family drama, and is abusive. 

Jake is the step-uncle and father figure is abusive in his demeanor and the way he carries himself around his sons. He has inappropriate thoughts and actions about his young inexperienced niece. Honestly, his character wasn’t well thought out in my opinion. 

Kaleb doesn’t speak and yet he might be the worst of the whole lot of them. He almost r*pes her three times, he locks her in her room, he has sex with her whilst she is asleep, and he throws away her birth control pills. 

Noah is at first one of the only guys I saw as redeeming but he’s not. He becomes emotionally abusive and threatens to get her pregnant so she will stay with them. 

Terrain our main character lady doesn’t not have luck on her side. She was isolated and abused in that manner as a child. Now as a teenager, she is forced into a family and she is who brings them all together even at her own expense at times. 

I won’t spoil the ending for you but I wish so much it was different. That doesn’t mean you won’t like it. I’ll keep reading Penelope Douglas's books.
