Yet, I was drawn to this book by the subject matter of human trafficking. It is a subject matter that is very important and needs more awareness. Yet, thanks to authors like Mr. Aymar and books like this; this topic will gain more awareness. I am all for more advocates for stopping human trafficking. Mr. Aymar mentions in the author note that most women don't come into prostitution like Charlotte; but the painful; sense of identity loss and subsequent emotional repercussions are real. I thought Mr. Aymar displayed these things very well in this book. It really brought Charlotte's struggle and her determination to be a fighter that more real. She is the true star of this book. Where Mace is concerned; his character surprised me. Having a military background, I felt and expected him to be a protector and fighter as well. Yet, he was more of a bystander. Mr. Aymar pens a book that readers needs to pick up a copy and read with The Unrepentant! Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

"They never expected her to fight back...Eighteen-year old Charlotte Reyes ran away from an abusive home only to end up tricked, kidnapped, and taken across the country by criminals. Charlotte manages to escape with the help of a reluctant former soldier named Mace Peterson, but she can't seem to shake the gang or the crooked cop paid to bring her back--alive or otherwise. With nowhere to run and nowhere to hide, Charlotte realizes she only has one option. She has to fight. Set in the Virginia, Maryland, D.C. triangle, The Unrepentant combines page-gripping action and black comedy, and provides a no-holds-barred, necessary examination of the dark corners of the human mind."--Back cover.

Sex trafficking is a multi-billion dollar industry...or should I say racket? It forces people into positions they do not want to be in and more times than not causes physical and mental harm. As I read this book I thought about what it would be like to be more than one character and hoped I would have the strength that Charlotte had, the caring and courage that Dory had and the ability to help those that so needed it as I read through the book.
The opening scene was compelling and grabbed me immediately and once caught I could not stop reading till the wee hours of the morning. More than once I wanted to step inside the pages and smack someone or help another...it was gripping. The mentality it must take to be a trafficker is something I can’t seem to wrap my mind around. I think part of it is money and part of it is lacking conscience and perhaps it also has to do with being more than a little bit sadistic.
Anyway…
Did I enjoy this book? Yes...though the topic was a toughie
Would I read more by this author? Yes
I did feel the ending was a bit abrupt UNLESS this is the first book in a series. I wanted resolution for Mace and Eve and I wanted to know how Charlotte would end up. And yet, in life the people we meet don’t always let us know what will happen and this way I can make up an ending, a happy one, of my own for those left standing at the end of the book.
Thank you to NetGalley and Down & Out Books for the ARC – This is my honest review.
