And what that means is that sometimes two people need each other so much it is worth sacrificing others to make sure they end up together. 'Our Kind of Cruelty' was yet another book where my expectations were way too high and got crushed in the middle of the book. I mean, I really, really like the idea of an overprotective, stalking ex-boyfriend, Mike, who is all busy denying the truth and looking forward to a future with his one and only love, V. And the first few pages dealing with The Crave they do really promised that this novel would be beyond interesting. However, as soon as the author revealed that V. is going to get married, it was kind of obvious that either V. herself or her new husband will end up dead. And from that point onwards, the entire thing got boring. And predictable. And there is nothing that I hate more than a predictable books. The actual ranking is more a 2.5 than a 3 star ranking. As I said, I liked the general idea and the beginning of the book. I liked the insight we got into Mike's (disturbing) thoughts. But the rest kinda disappointed me.
