A review by jess_justmaybeperfect
The Seduction of Elliot McBride by Jennifer Ashley
dark
emotional
mysterious
tense
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
This book covers mental illness, PTSD, torture, enslavement, murder, colonization, racism, xenophobia, abandonment, long term pining, scandal, fear, heartbreak, sex, and love.
None of these themes were addressed fully and almost all were a disappointment if not completely offensive.
I cannot recommend this story.
