A spellbinding, darkly twisted novel about desire and obsession, and the complicated lines between truth and perception, Our Kind of Cruelty introduces Araminta Hall, a chilling new voice in psychological suspense.
This is a love story. Mike’s love story.
Mike Hayes fought his way out of a brutal childhood and into a quiet, if lonely, life before he met Verity Metcalf. V taught him about love, and in return, Mike has dedicated his life to making her happy. He’s found the perfect home, the perfect job; he’s sculpted himself into the physical ideal V has always wanted. He knows they’ll be blissfully happy together.
It doesn’t matter that she hasn’t been returning his e-mails or phone calls.
It doesn’t matter that she says she’s marrying Angus.
It’s all just part of the secret game they used to play. If Mike watches V closely, he’ll see the signs. If he keeps track of her every move, he’ll know just when to come to her rescue . . .
*My Review*
This book was just what I needed during a rough book slump. I couldn't stop reading this book. It was a crazy roller coaster and I am still not sure what was going on....in a good way. I was totally unprepared for the ending and found myself unable to stop thinking about it.
I kept wondering if Mike and V were both crazy or if it was simply just him. At one point they seem like the perfect couple, although a bit weird with their "game". I mean who doesn't want someone to treat you like you are their whole world. Someone that knows and remembers what you like, don't like and how you like it.
I am really hoping for a sequel or maybe just another book from V's point of view.
