Our hero, V.R., is what you'd get if you combined the Beast and Christian Grey into a blender.

There's a strange reveal early on where it's revealed that the hero has saved Kyrie from being raped and murdered several times, including getting her out of the clutches of what is essentially a serial killer. She then allows herself to be taken onto a strange plane, and then taken, blindfolded, into a strange home. She allows a strange man into her apartment, goes with him into a strange car, and only tells her best friend where she's going. Claire, proves that she is, in every sense of the word, way too stupid to live. The problems of this book start when the sender comes to collect, and our plucky protagonist, Kyrie St. I thought I was getting a dark erotica about Stockholm Syndrome featuring an impulsive female protagonist who ends up reaping the consequences from a single moment of weakness. In a slightly different story, I think it could have been fascinating to explore the psychology behind the characters who would a) send out the check in the first place and b) cash it in. The bills are piling up, she's out of options.and then she receives a check completely out of the blue for $10,000. She's just been fired from her temp job, after receiving a quid pro quo offer from her perverted boss. You have this impoverished (white) girl with a dead father, a brother in college, and a mother in assisted living. The premise of this book was really great. Now I'm finished, and I'm not really sure what to say. ALPHA had a great summary, and I'd seen so many people singing its praises.surely, there had to be some solid basis for those many glowing four- and five-star reviews, right? It's been a while since I've actually finished a book I really didn't like.
