This book was strangely addictive, but for all the wrong reasons. The characters - Keiran in particular, was so preposterous I was entertained. A LOT. Throughout the story, he makes a lot of threats which sounded very hollow to me. None of the previous flashbacks, made any sense to why Lake is currently sooooooo scared of him. It was frankly hilarious. She's a biddable puppet, that really does victimize herself but she's a little self-aware so I can't hate her too much for it. 
 Keiran...where do I start with him? 
 He's meant to be soooooooooo scary. I was expecting him to be daaaaaaaark. Was he? Hell no. Lake is practically panting after him, and all he does is keep making lameass threats towards her aunt, and bringing up weird live-feeds of her aunt being followed in real-time, to further "compound" the threat. I might have taken it more seriously, if she called out the bluff early on. 
 But c'mon... 
 Let me paint how preposterous this is. 
 Dark Lead: I will kill your aunt, if you don't come to me right now. 
 Me: No! 
 Dark Lead: Don't make me count to three...One, two - 
 Me: Okay! (scurries over) 
 This is how it SHOULD'VE gone: 
 Dark Lead: I will kill your aunt, if you don't come to me right now. 
 Me: Alright fucker, I'm calling the police. 
 Dark Lead (flummoxed because I'm going off-script): I'll kill your aunt! Don't make me come over there and take your dress off. 
 Me (already ringing 911): Yeah? Can you come and arrest this stalker fucker? At least grant him a restraining order, sheesh. 
 Dark Lead (knocks phone away from my hand): Get on your knees. 
 Me: Or what? 
 Dark Lead: One, two - 
 Me (punches him where the sun doesn't shine.) 
 LOL :D
