Commentary Supposing Books Ruthless
Ruth Carver has always competed like her life depends on it. Ambitious. Tough. Maybe even mean. It’s no wonder people call her ruthless.When she wakes up with a concussion in the bed of a moving pickup truck, Ruth realizes she has been entered into a contest she can’t afford to lose.
At a remote, rotting cabin deep in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Ruth’s blindfold comes off and she finds herself face-to-face with her captor: A man who believes his mission is to punish bad girls like Ruth. A man who has done this six times before.
The other girls were never heard from again, but Ruth won’t go down easy. She escapes into the wilderness, but her hunter is close at her heels. That’s when the real battle begins. That’s when Ruth must decides just how far she’ll go in order to survive.
Back home, they called her Ruthless. They had no idea just how right they were.

Review also found at http://kristineandterri.blogspot.ca/2...**I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher Simon Pulse vie Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review. The expected publication is July 14th, 2015**This story read a little bit different for me. Although the concept is not exactly unique, it is the first that I can recall that was written entirely in the first person. This kept the story focused entirely on Ruth and her situation and left out any other noise. It feltLove Ruth as a character, shes not the most likable character but shes fierce and strong and complicated and she struggles. And I love the message. Women can be ruthless, they survive and have so much strength. but its also okay to be weak sometimes and to need help and to cry, have emotions, etc. But where this book lost me is the plot, its a little disjointed and some parts are confusing. (view spoiler)[ also maybe im just an optimist but I just couldnt believe that people would see a young
Holy nightmare-inducing batman! Ruthless is one of THE best YA thriller books that I have read in a very long time. I read this one in a matter of hours and by the end, I just wanted someone to hold me and shield me from all the nightmares I was bound to have that night. Starting the book at 12 in the morning while everyone else was asleep was certainly a bad idea.The book opened up in a big bang with the main character, Ruth, waking up with a concussion unable to see clearly around her on a
RATING: 2 STARS(Review Not on Blog)I am in the minority on this one, but I just didn't care for the writing style. While the story is interesting, and I was able to finish the novel by skimming, I could not really get into the book. I cannot remember much at this time other than those on my notes.
I picked up Ruthless because I wanted to read a book that would keep me on the edge of my seat and cause me to have minor heart attacks- and what other book to do that than one about a girl being chased by a serial killer rapist?At the beginning of this book, Ruthless did exactly that.I was fully engaged in the storyline and Ruth's chances of survival, but as the story progressed everything slowly went downhill- the plot began to drag and become almost boring at parts.So unfortunately, overall,
Do you have any idea how nice it was to read a book where the chick doesn't 'fall for' the serial killer!!!! That isn't a question, because I know so many of us are sick of the glorification of the psycho path. In this day and age we call a woman 'unlikable and unrelatable' when she actually fights back against the serial killer. We put the book down, call it boring, and disregard it because the author didn't glamorize a man that assaults and murders innocent girls. Yes, this dude was a real
This book wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. There were parts of it that I found to be super intense and very interesting, I really liked the main character Ruth by the end of the novel. However, towards the end the novel dragged to the point that I really started to not care about whether she lived or died. I thought starting the story right in the middle of the action was great but if you're going to do that as a writer you have to follow through and keep the story that intense! Longer
