Angels in the Dark by Shannon Elliott



2 Stars

My guardian angels are dead set on making me whole again.

When I'm taken by him, the criminal in charge of Mathieson Enterprises, my illusion of safety shatters. He has a Midas touch that is more destructive than it is beautiful. Now, I'm broken beyond repair.

But they’re there to pull me back every time I retreat into myself.

Jay — my best friend — who hasn’t left my side in years.

Griffin — an undercover cop — who loves me before he knows my name.

Sage — a mothering doctor — who stitches me back together.

Cy and Ember — the detached mercenaries — who take me in despite themselves.

To them, my survival is a threat. This is a dangerous game they're playing. Trying to keep me safe is playing with fire.

Sometimes the only way to find your way in the dark is to light a match.

 

It is an interesting concept just poorly implemented. You have a woman who's been trafficked, abused in the worst ways possible and is finally rescued. Good so far but then she willingly has sex with her rescuer who she doesn't know is a good guy. I just have a hard time believing someone going through what she did would be ok the next day having sex. Beyond that there is way too many POV which makes it hard to follow. The book ends on a cliffhanger, and it doesn't make sense to end where it does. Very disappointed.
