His to Torment

Willa, orphaned and raised from foster family to foster family, works in a private club where mob men enjoy themselves away from the eyes of the people. Faced with the attempted rape of a co-worker Willa comes to her defense and wounds the attacker. Now she will have to flee for her life.
This is a story full of action and tension. Willa is brave and determined. I love her fearless way of facing life and the bad situations it brings. But throughout the novel, all the suffering, the torture scenes, the pain page after page of the protagonist left me exhausted, even having to stop reading to get some air. Throughout the novel there is very little relief to Willa's suffering, that along with little or no explained twists of the story made me lose some interest in reading.
All in all, this is a tough and fast-paced novel.
