Love of the Egoist

This quote from the book says it all:

“He didn't even know why he was laughing, but the whole situation felt stupid, impossible, like a bad comedy with creepy dialogue and a wacky plot.”

It's bizarre; the characters' motives and thoughts are inconsistent and make no sense. I feel like I know what this book was aiming to be (dark with sexy evil dude who mindfucks his captive), but it just fails spectacularly with awkwardness to the point of hilarity. Honestly, the only redeeming quality of this book is finding out that there will be a 3rd book in the series with this cover:

Blurb:

I don't know how it gets to that, but I have to say, that was one of the funniest unexpected things I've seen in my life.
