Animal by Marni Mann
5.0
**ARC provided in exchange for an honest review**
4.5 'WTF' stars
If you read the blurb, you can't really figure out what to expect. After I read Prisoned and met Beard, the main character of this book, I couldn't wait to get my hands on his book. As soon as I got Animal, I knew some really dark and twisted things would go down. I love dark books with villains as main characters. And Beard fit that bill perfectly. In my opinion he isn't a good guy, but there are things that made him the way he is. The structure of this book was different, normally it wouldn't have worked for me but for this book it was perfect. It left you with question marks almost throughout the whole book. I had no idea what was going on in the beginning, however I am a pretty good predictor/investigator of secrets in books. So half-way through I had some theories and a couple of them were correct.
However Marni wouldn't be Marni if she didn't throw a couple of plot twists the readers way. There was so much dark and twisted things going on but there was also a lot of hot and dirty sex. The author did an amazing job with the characters. She made me feel a certain way about them, which made perfect sense at the end. There are two stories in one book but they are connected, and it is up to you to figure out what is going on. It was very creative and mysterious and I couldn't get enough. I was hooked from the start and I couldn't wait till I received the answers to all my questions. Marni has one crazy and twisted mind!! This book is NOT for the faint-hearted. If you want a good mind-fuck where nothing is as it seems then definitely read this book. Especially the ending had me saying WTF and OMG, Marni really knows how to end a book.
