You'll need some patience because this just drags on and on and on, and to be honest, I skipped some text because it was just too long for me as well.
It takes forever before things start happening, like major changes, and before Jeremy finally, FINALLY confesses what happened to him, and even longer before people start believing him but those moments are very moving and so I still think it's worth the read.

Also, don't stop reading just midway, go at least to volume 9 or so, because it has some big changes that might blow your mind!

imagine yourself in his case, it's not that easy. That man was a narcissist and "had the upper hand".
He was also scared of hurting her mum whom he loves so much he would sacrifice himself for her.
There was no one who could help him and even if there was, he was too scared to get them involved... and later he didn't trust anyone. A boy whose life was so normal turned into a nightmare he could never imagine... I mean he was pretty naive (at first). I had "such a normal" life like him and I could have never imagined that men like him exist... and when something like that happens for the first time you don't know what to do, you don't know where to get help 'cause you're not used for stuff like this and you didn't have hardships in life to make you strong enough to defend yourself.

I wanted his fathewr and mother to just die already because honestly I was tired of throwing up after the rape sences I mean can ypou say scary It's so sad that that really happens to people. But ethier way I just found the 6 months before Greg death a little drawn out and boring at points.

I didn't like it at all. I thought I could finish it but couldn't. I personally disliked it so much, because of the way I was raised. Some poor kid who had a normal life is seriously traumatized and becomes mentally diseased because of one man. He is being raped continuously by his step- father, but doesn't want his mother to get hurt so keeps quiet. One person finds out, but is also too scared to tell. I didn't understand this, he is one human man! Not van hellsing or a powerful crime syndicate member. Eventually, the kid reaches his max point( I would've been reach mine) and kills the crazy rapist, and accidentally his mother. Anyway, the child has seriously become demented after committing murder. I was so eager to hurry and finish it, but the author procrastinates the series Pointlessly. Really, the kid should've got professional help or told his mother. If she can't handle it and kills herself or gets a heart attack. In my opinion she should have taken the role as a parent. Everyone in this catastrophe of a family had something wrong. The child for keeping it a secret, it a parents job to take of the child. The mother not being adequate or competent enough for her child to trust her with her own responsibilities. The step-father for being a selfish and childish rapist. Natasha for being scared of a single man. Ian wasn't really at fault, because none of this was to his knowledge nor is it under his responsibility. Though, I believe if he was more attentive to his family or knew his family he could have prevented this, but it not common for a child to doubt their guardian especially if their a single parent. The characters to me needed improvement and a better details to get to the main events. As it was also unnecessarily prolonged even if the events happened over a large span of time the reader should have to see the frivolous actions. I didn't finish it so maybe it got better after chapter 39. However, I doubt it. For the first shounen ai I've read in two years this is a dissapointment. I will stick to yaoi and heterosexual romance. This book seems to prove without the sexual interaction of a gay male couple, the author has to fill the pages with redundancy.
