About this listen
I'm the pastor's son.
He's the star quarterback for a small Kentucky high school.
While the town worships him, I pray for God to take my life.
He makes my life a living hell by making me his victim.
This perverse game we play could end us both.
How can something that feels so right be so wrong?
The price if the truth is discovered is death, but I can't stop.
Neither can he. No one can know.
Can I risk it? Is Roman King worth dying for?

There's a really intense build-up in this book, with themes of abuse, power and control and extreme conservativism and religious behaviour but by the halfway point you're kind of waiting for something to explode and it never does. Let's liken it to a balloon that you expect to pop any second but actually it just slowly leaks for four hours and nothing every really happens. It was just all a bit too easy. It's like the author wanted a high-drama, high-intensity story but didn't actually know how to write one and just petered out at the end.
There were plenty of opportunities for drama - for example (not a spoiler cause it never happens) it's hinted that the tunnels fill with water when it rains and you can get stuck in there, so I thought that might be foreshadowing and one would get trapped after running there to get away from a dramatic incident but no, nothing happens. Then there's more drama and nothing comes from that either, then more drama and there's no fallout for that either. Andi seems to really like setting up good story points but gets bored and never follows through.
So, essentially, what you're left with is a reasonably well-written romance with some strong story building at the beginning, but no effort to having the characters earn their happily ever after (which would be fine except for the fact that Andi is obviously trying to make us believe that they have really fought and struggled for it) is ever made by the author and the story just drags on with no real climax or significant point of tension.
I think the story would be better if the author cut out 30-40% of the second half of the book, it was sold as a high-intensity read but if that's what you're looking for, this is not it, or if the author had actually committed to following through on the plot points she set up throughout the book. Makes for a pretty bland read - not bad but not what was promised going in.

It is DARK but so good. It will have you questioning why you are enjoying it.
I don't get the poor reviews
