2.5 stars. 
 Best bit was the cliffhanger. Damn you. Now you're making me come back. 
 This book was....hard to complete. Real hard. You're talking to a girl who can chomp through 600 page books here for breakfast. 
 I have one problem. 
 If you want to seek revenge, just stop wasting my fucking time. 
 None of this infiltrate, murder, repeat bullshit. 
 I'll quote a paragraph, that was meant to soothe, but just did the opposite: 
 Don't think me a fool. I've tried desperately to find his home address, but that's some supersecret [ not one word, dear author] shit that the wealthy and famous alike can hide to protect their anonymity. I'm sure I could have found it before now with the help of a private investigator, but I didn't have the funds for that. This little tidbit saves me the trouble of following him home from work one night, which I was more than willing to do. 
 Let me reference that paragraph with characters. "I" is Sela Helstead. At age sixteen, she was brutally gang-raped after being roofied at a party. When you open a story with such a powerful, rage-inducing scene - you better deliver. "His" and "Him" refer to JT, or Jonathan Townsend. He was the leader of the gang-rape. Let me fill you further in. Sela wants to seek almighty revenge - basically killing the guy, and his cohorts - so she tracks him down years later, to find he's successful and in partnership with a Beck North, a website designer. She decides to use the latter, to learn more about the former, but quickly falls for him and most of the book is about boinking his brains out. 
 This disappointed my greatly. I know at the time, I said vaguely - but no - big fucking disappointment, dude. 
 Why? 
 She makes no active, proactive steps to learn about JT. Why does she need to learn about him, to kill him anyway? You know where the dude works. If you really wanted to know where he lived, you would've followed him home day one. I think at one point Sela suggests, she's keeping him alive, because she wanted to find out the identities of the other rapists - but does the girl look into anything? That's a big, fat no. Just fucking Beck and... nothing. At one point Sela considers letting the revenge thing go, but seeing JT re-enter Beck's approval, just made her lose her shit, and the last 10% made it all worth it, with that cliffhanger. (view spoiler)[ Beck doesn't believe JT raped Sela, when she tells him after a fight. (hide spoiler)]. 
 This trilogy could be one book. 
 Just cut out the extra shit, bring the revenge forward and I'm champion. 
 At least it looks like we're moving somewhere. 
 There's no way I can't read the sequel after that bombshell being dropped on us.
