I love a good torture book as much as the next gal.. This story had some light torture, definitely not extreme, but enough to whet a gore lover's appetite.
Broken hearts cause people to do heinous acts, and sometimes violence.
The first half of the book ( short story, I think around 80 pages total) was kinda slow and just building up the failed marriage..once the lovers were abducted the action started. I wish it had been more extreme, but overall it was a decent read
