The Wallflower by J.L. Beck
Did not finish book. Stopped at 37%.
Okay DNF at 37% I tried to push out to 50% but can’t. I don't understand where the book is going or what the plot is at this point. I will say it is mysterious so maybe all the answers come at the end but I can't wait that long.
Unfortunately Andrew “Drew” the jock, playboy bully just gives me the ick. He is obsessive possessive and over the top. “The Hunt” still unsure why it’s a thing, yeah it’s tradition but why? The primal play section in the woods lasted for 15% of the read and it was cat and mouse let her go. Chase, let her go. Trying to make it to a cabin to win 25k in the night but everyone else in the hunt is happy to lay down and get dirty once caught other than the FMC trying for the money who had no chance anyway. The FMC Bel has a sick mother that we haven’t met yet, not much money and feisty attitude and a virgin. Personally, when these two met I didn’t feel anything so I didn’t like the primal NonCon scenes. He is a walking red flag that is aggressive, and a bully who somehow has access to her bank account. When she received the 10k from him just because she didn’t deposit it but he knew that as he has access to everything? I don’t know how he would have access to that as it has not stated he is a Hacker. I'm just a little lost and I’m questioning a lot of things. Not much has been explained we are at college, the hunt happens and then he follows and stalks her around the college. This isn’t for me but it may be for you.
