Terra Harmony

I hate to write a review like this. I hate it, because I love books, and it's disappointing to me when I find one that is just this terrible to me. TRIGGER WARNINGS: Attempted rape, rape, physical abuse.

The book opens with Kaitlyn snowboarding desperately ahead of an avalanche. She doesn't make it, and the last we see of her in the opening chapter is her fingers wriggling above the snow while the rest of her is buried alive. And things go downhill from there.

When she wakes, she's locked in a mysterious room. She escapes, only to be chased down, threatened with syringes of mysterious drugs and weapons. And so on, and so on. She's told she has a great destiny as a Gaia, the one with incredible powers to help save the environment. She's also held down while someone carves a brand into her, bound to a chair in a walk-in freezer, and given a "choice" to join this group--one that she later finds out wasn't a choice at all since she would have been killed had she chosen to not join.

Oh, but that's not all. Her "lover" attempts to rape her as part of a training exercise. She gets kidnapped by the guy who branded her so he can finish his brand and, oh, so he can rape her again and again.

Not once in this book is Kaitlyn anything other than an excuse for bad things to happen. The only other living woman in this book is an extremely minor character, and so far she's escaped all of this. As for the other mentioned women? They're all dead and they all seemed to go through much the same as Kaitlyn.

If you like your women in refrigerators then this book might be for you. But if you think they're human beings then give this book a pass.
