They say when you take revenge against another you lose a part of your innocence.
But I’m not innocent.
I haven’t been for a very long time.
My innocence was stolen from me. Taken was the life I was supposed to have. The soul I was born with. The ruby heart embedded in a life full of hopes and dreams.

Gone.
Vanished.

I never even had a choice.
I mourn that life. Mourn the what-ifs.
Until now.
I’m ready to take back what was always meant to be mine.

But every plan has a fatal flaw. Sometimes it’s the heart.

DebbieThoughts

I think what surprised me most about Bang was the shock value. The raw hatred in the words.  The  disbelief that had my mind swirling.  The rereading of the previous line just to confirm the words once more.   This is what I honestly believe drew me into this dark and intriguing world of lies, deceit, sex and survival.

 The words of love were written with such grace and elegance.  The words of hatred written with such malice. The words of retribution holding such raw and deep seated emotion.  The cruelty and torture.  The emotions that play with your mind.  All of these things wrapped together provide us with an intriguing, suspenseful, sexy, conniving, disturbing and  at times loving story.

With characters that are so extremely well defined in both a physical and emotional level.  With a story line that continually lays foundations for so many twists, turns and surprises, I found myself lost in the world the author created.

Each minor infraction by a character had me holding them suspect in my mind.  Each loving gesture owned a piece of my heart.  Each punishment shattered me slowly.  Every emotion that played upon the characters touched me deeply. 

Bang is a strong and solid story.  A story that holds so many different factors to it.  Family, loss, self loathing, determination, truths, lies, destruction, hope and love.
