I can't believe the first few chapters! I mean wow. I have read books with rape scenes talked about but not in such detail. I loved the book but not the beginning. It was a little too much in my opinion. The sodomy scene was just wow. I mean that blew my mind that CF would write that in detail and not just allude to it happening.

Yeah i know!! I was really surprised that she wrote it so indepth! I mean i knew that Elle was gonna be having rape scenes in the book, but dang! I really did like how the ending of this book, this series had a closing to it. With all of them getting married all at once. It was awesome! There were somethings in the book that made the book great, like when Jackson is caught playing the piano, or all the people that he has helped. It showed a whole new side to Jackson... "Jackson the badass" ha ha ha

I know. And composes. I liked that since they wouldn't stay in the house that the house came to them. LOL

Yea i thought that was really cool. And also just how the book was written, it was pretty awesome. Although certain parts i was like, "what the heck!" but i think that it was a great ending to the series overall.

The ending was a great ending but the beginning was just a lot to handle.

before I got the book I checked out amazons for spoilers. and now I'm just shaking my head. they assume(d) that she is completely recovered, even though in the book it says that she's not.
I recently read Patricia Brigg's newest (cross bones) which takes place a week or so after she gets raped and is able to be with her mate, but she still get panic attacks and stuff. (even worse then elle was, 'cause mercy had her will completely taken away and replaced with someone else's)

I know she isn't recovered but most women, I know some, can't be with a man for awhile after a rape much less weeks of rape and other torture. Their bodies just won't let them do that. That is what was so unrealistic for me. I know it is a book and a fiction one so it was ok but still it doesn't happen often in real life.

ya, I know it's unrealistic. but my approach on it is well they have a bond so he can take part of it and help her over come it (or something like that). my big thing with what they were saying was that she was completely recovered (or that's how I interpreted it). but you have to remember that from the prophice, all this had to happen in a year (all 7 sister finding their man) (at least that's how I read it). and she probably couldn't much more then she did for the time plot 'cause of the events (what's his face finding her, the attacks) if it had taken a year they would probably all be dead, or very close to it.

That is true. I just have a hard time dealing with how explicit it was. I guess from reading it I just feel it should have taken her longer. If she had just told about her being raped and tortured I think I could have believed her being with Jackson so soon.

CF has confirmed that Ilya's brothers will settle in Sea Haven with their wives.... i wonder what kind of reaction this will spark between Jackson and Sid. I just dont think that Jackson will let it go for Sid's 'part' in Elle's abuse. He was too furious at the end of the book when he found out. And poor Elle and Ilya will be caught in the middle...
