Bang(Black Lotus book 1) By E.K. Blair

"And that's the moment when you realize that hopes and dreams are as fucked up as the fairytales."

 

This is the first book I have ever read by E.K. Blair so I was not sure what to expect. Bang is a very intense book that keeps you on your toes the whole time trying to figure out what is going to happen. If you can not handle a VERY dark book that has child abuse in it do not buy this book! I almost did not finish Bang because of the abuse and I had to take a break and read another book in between so that I could finish it.

 

Nina/Elizabeth has had a horrible life since she was five and put into a abusive foster home. Her only saving grace was her foster brother Pike. Elizabeth is now grown up and going by the name Nina to get her revenge on the people that ruined her life with the help of Pike. Even with the abuse(which I understand had to happen to explain why Elizabeth and Pike act the way they do) I enjoyed this book because you could not guess what was going to happen and you never see the ending coming. I can not wait for the next book to come out and I rate this with 3 out of 5 stars.

 

Happy Reading

Now let me be clear, I love, love, love any kind of love triangle and the whole drama who do I pick kind of thing...I have read so many and get really into them like I am one of the characters. I can see the book being played out in my head.

This book is the exception. I hated it. The back and forth from the present, to the past, to the present and so on and so forth. I literally was getting whip lash!

Now as for the story and the characters...Cathy, I couldn't connect. I feel her pain and loss, but for her to be the way she was and blame her husband, Ben, who was nothing but supportive and caring and DAMN SEXY, for all things that was wrong in the marriage, well she is just stupid.

Arsen, a general sexy playboy who made advances at first to be turned down because of Cathy's conscience but still they become friends as he works under her, but yet is still pinning for her. He is a douche. His attitude and general-ism sucks. Sorry.

I couldn't get this book, I couldn't get into it, I read the reviews when I purchased it, I seen them on good reads and amazon. I was like yes! I will love this book, now I am like OMG what the hell happened?! I have never wrote a bad review, normally I just wouldn't waste my time on reviewing it, but I felt the need for this one. Maybe I will come back to this book later on and will find to like it, but it isn't working for me right now. I will give it 2 1/2 stars max.

If you have read it and have a different opinion, that is great! If you haven't and want to read it, don't let my opinion sway you. This book just wasn't for me.
