I am a monster. A sexual deviant. A gorger for pain. I am
Worthless William Welch.
But I am hers…
Ten years since Welch has seen Gwendolyn he finds himself in
Portland, the same city they were supposed to live together; just two bloody
lovers against the ghastly ways of the world. But that isn’t how their story
would pan out and Welch troubles himself everyday with memoirs of the only one
that will have his heart.
His sweet, sweet girl. Fiery Gwendolyn is gone and he is
alone with nothing to occupy him except memories.
As he tries to grasp onto the recollections while
simultaneously forgetting the pain he was bathed in for so long, he searches
for a woman that will give him the agony he so desperately craves. You know
what they say… be careful what you wish for.
As Welch pushes an unlikely woman to the brink, he is
surprised at her eagerness as she gives him what he longs for. Punishment,
pain, and pleasure. He becomes enveloped by the demons of his past, the torment
of his current, and the ghost in his mind that he refuses to part from.
Reverted back to the dysfunctional little boy who obeys,
Welch finds himself in a disastrous cycle while the edge of goodness is within
reach. Will it be too late for him to find love before he breaks himself down
to a point of no return?

Whoa.
I think that's all I can say about this book. This is one of the darkest books I've had the chance to read.
It needs to be reiterated that if you have any past triggers, do NOT read this book.
If you don't have any past triggers, I still suggest you tread cautiously, not only with this book but the first book in the series as well. With this book, we get to see both of Gwen's and William's struggles to move through life after everything they've gone through. They manage to reunite, but it's so far from pretty that you will feel the effects, probably for a while after you've finished the series.
I found it hard to fathom everything that William endured in his life, yet I do realize that those events can and do happen. Which makes it that much harder to read about because you wonder what on earth could drive a person do commit such acts? He finally found happiness with Gwen...until she was gone. Her absence drove him even further into the abyss. They do manage to reunite after 10 years, but what will the future hold for Gwen and William? Theirs will never be a life of glittery rainbows and puppy noses, but maybe, just maybe their future will be enough to keep them both from sinking into the unending cycle of madness.

Gwendolyn vs. the Band of Barren Hearts (Monster, #1)
That’s where 17-year-old Gwendolyn Fitzpatrick found herself; surrounded by wicked fiends after everything she thought she had was gone in the blink of an eye. She was shuffled away with one bag of memories miles away to a pair of foster parents that hardly had her best interests at hand. Forced to obey and listen to her caregiver’s commands, Gwendolyn buries her old self and focuses on the pain to become one of them.
A monster herself to seek vengeance.
While yearning for her teeming point to come, Gwendolyn starts to connect with another 17-year-old foster boy living with her who calls himself Welch. Just when Gwendolyn starts to feel faith splice its way through the venom of pain, the connection she has with Welch is put in jeopardy as the harshness gets worse with each passing day.
Will the two tattered spirits make it out alive?
