Review: Depraved

Depraved by Bella J.
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Note: An ARC was given generously in exchange for an honest review.

Yup there I go again with the ARCs but they’re delayed as hell and I can’t help myself.

Whoops....but anyway. Let’s continue.

............

Sigh, I feel like my luck with ARCs being good stories to read is actually running out.

This one was no exception.

The summary: We first get a glimpse at our heroine Alyxandra (I don’t understand her name’s spelling, really I don’t) the police commissioner’s daughter, who has a troubled life with a control freak ex-ballerina mother and an overprotective and barely present father. She longs to be free from their protective ring and yearns to be independent and stable on her own.

Then we meet American street kings biker gang and their president, who seems to have kept the police all around on him on his payroll and has a vendetta against the rival bike gang.

Thugs kidnap the poor Alyxandra but she is luckily saved by the president of the American street kings.

But alas she’s still kidnapped.

Now trapped as their hostage, she tries to figure out how to break free from their hold and fight her attraction to the man who saved her life.

My view: The plot is fine. So is the star crossed lovers kinda romance at the beginning.

But then...some shit ruins it all for me. Let me spell it out for y’all.

First of all, what an idiot. Literally she doesn’t even realise the dangers of being a police commissioner’s daughter and still goes parading around at 11 in the night and getting a tattoo (I am not saying it’s bad, but what timing), just to be FREE from her parents.

Is that idiocy at the finest moment? Or maybe it’s me who’s being a fool.

Next idiotic thing that happens, is the girl thinks that things like kidnapping, being a hostage and getting harmed by thugs is something that happens to people who are not her.

Are you kidding me? Is she that brainwashed and privileged to not think that this could happen to her?

I can’t with this. Really I couldn’t.

So dnfing again.

So tired of this, literally I am.

Authors need to step up and stop sending us poor readers, shallow and brainwashed female characters.

The world, the book world would be such a better place if that happened. But alas, I can only dream.

Until the next page,
