Shabby -BookBistroBlog's Reviews > The Five

Whoah!!!  What the phuck did I just read!! A painful blow to my vagg would've hurt less than walking in  Rainey's shoes.
Lily just waved the wand - stupefy and I'm stunned! I'm so scared of her brain that if I meet her I prolly won't sit next to her. Her devious mind is capable of such barbaric evil that I can almost feel her cackle while she types.
It's convoluted and distressing story of various types of addictions. Drugs, love, hatred and sex. It makes people do stupid things and just obliterates their self worth
"How low can you go?
Rock bottom is the lowest a person can go, right? Well, I was born there.”



The story is quite straightforward. There's a beautiful & stunning girl called Rainey Day, who moves in Clayton Heights, right next door to the Connor men. Paul the dad, Frankie, Jacob, Joel and Rowan the sons and she just mesmerises the men.
She was a woman created solely for the purpose of temptation. Everything about her, everything, brought out primal instincts that were more animal than human. What made her dangerous was that she knew it.
She's a virtual flame that attracts the Moths all around. And they start falling dead like moths too!!



Psychologist Justin Redding is assigned to her case where she's discovered the sole human left breathing in a house where everyone else is massacred.
The story unfolds right in front of us and it's like watching mold grow. The rot that fills some human garbage pails starts to spread from inside out and the putrid souls just are laid bare in front of us.
I was horrified and willing to slap everybody around, and i intended to let no demon left behind. I wanted to kill them all a violent, torturous death myself **breathing hard**
I swear my blood pressure is through the roof!!



And hereforth starts a story so twisted, I'm shattered just by reading it. There's a permanent grimace on my face and smouldering anger in my heart.
I'm livid !
At the Connors
At Rainey
At her mom
At Rowan
At lily....whatever possesses this woman to write such stories!!
Freud would have a field day with my behavior in that moment, his Austrian accent clear in my head, condemning everything I struggled with as some deep seated, repressed and dark desire for violent sexual conquest.
Well.....Freud didn't meet Lily then or he would resurrect and commit suicide
As much as I hated the characterization, their actions  and the plot develpment, I cannot but praise the writing skills of this evil genius. Undisputed Queen of The Dark. There's a nervous tension in the story throughout. It doesn't let you breathe much. Every time I feel this is rock bottom, Lily shoves my face in the muck and keeps pressing to show me another level of phucked up low that humanity can sink in.



But you can't walk away from the poignant moments untouched. Rainey was an unfortunate character whose manipulation made me cry. Rowan I could kiss and claim! And the end just was explosive! You must read this story even though some gag-worthy scenarios will make you retch. It's ugly in its truth and honesty, but C'est  La vie!
For dark lovers it's caviar served on a gold cracker!!!
5 stars for 5 men, 5 promises, 5 scars
