Book Review: Undeniable by Madeline Sheehan
Undeniable is an MC book. (MC: motocycle club) I read this book due to a friend's recommendation and I put it on my waiting-to-read list for awhile since I was trying to read all the Rock Chick's books. Then, this morning, I decided to test the water. My head was in the right place and I decided to give it a go.
By the way, MAJOR SPOILERS ALERT! Oh and, crass words ahead. Proceed with precaution.
First thing that came across wrong in my head when I first started reading the book: The guy, Deuce, is twenty-fucking-three years old and he met this sweet five-year-old little girl named Eva. Pedophilia started to flash in front of my face but I shove it aside because I thought, 'who knew where this could go, you know?', so I continued my reading.
Second thing: Deuce killed his own father, cold-bloodedly. Not that it was a big deal since his father was a bad guy but I just think it was a bit of cruel, you know.
Third thing: The obsessive relationship Eva had with Frankie, a boy who she loved like her real brother. I actually liked Frankie at first, before he went rabid mad and 'decorated' somebody's gut as Christmas's ornaments. So, yeah. Oh and, Frankie ordered a hit on Eva.
Fourth thing: The martyr act by Eva to save her then-husband, Frankie by sleeping with her best friend's husband AND... AND (!!!) pregnant with the said-man child. I was like, WHAT THE FUCK!!! At that point, I gave up in understanding the story and took it in a slide because all I could think of at that moment was SLUT, SLUT, SLUT!!!
Fifth thing: Eva had no backbone! She moved in with Deuce, after all the drama above, and let Deuce cheated behind her back with the club whores. I was like (again), WHAT THE FUCK, WOMAN!!!
Sixth thing: Deuce still slept around behind Eva, even though he already had her with him. He never cared about her and it took Eva-almost-dying-in-labor to wake him up from that. This time, I was like, GO FUCK YOURSELF, DOUCHE!!!
Seventh thing: Apart from the clusterfuck that happened between Eva and Deuce, I looked around on the setting and I hate it. The men didn't respect women. They cheated behind their wives and as for the women, vice versa. I couldn't help but think that they were nomads. The cheating was looked upon like something resembling normalcy and I don't like the concept of club whores. It's degrading and fucked-up, no matter whether it's consensual or whatever. I don't like it.
Overall, it's a MAJOR CLUSTERFUCK that my head will never get around. This book just traumatized me and I don't think I will read any MC novels in the nearest future yet. It's an horrible experience. Though I said I was traumatized, I laughed my ass off when I read about the absurdity of this book. When Eva killed Frankie at the end, I laughed. It wasn't funny and I have to admit that I felt bad for Frankie (NOT EVA!) when he died. I laughed because it was one gigantic mind-fuck to understand the story completely and I can't imagine myself to be in Eva's shoes, though I was sure as hell will do EVERYTHING in a different way. I just don't want to put myself in her shoes.
Now that I think about it, Motorcycle Man by Kristen Ashley is the only MC novel that I really really like. No one could break that for me. I like the caveman's act, I really do. But there is a definite like to being a caveman and insulting a woman for what she is. A woman. I also really like to read a book where the man is not always right. It was the girl who has the brain for the relationship. 'Cause so far, I am terribly disappointed in where the caveman's acts are taking me.
Anyway, that is all for now. I just had to get that out of my chest, you know. Gotta go and absorb myself in another book. Laters.
