3-4 stars.I just can't make up my mind between those two ratings.So on the one hand, I liked it, I was engrossed, I couldn't stop reading.On the other hand, I've had a hard time seeing romance-y feelings between Shaw and Lee. Imagining them as a couple.I guess I have to think about it some more..

That is when we meet Lee, Vornis’s toy…. Lee has been on the island for 8 weeks. He is constantly tortured and raped during that period. ...

Not for the faint at heart. Yes, the worst happens off page, but the psychological aspects of torture and abuse are still in plain sight. A talented writer, but a really unconfortable read.
