It was a long book that had me hooked from beginning to end and even though I'm not as fast at reading as I used to be, I still managed to read this book at a pretty good pace and I just had such a hard time putting it down.īoth lead characters had me invested 100% and I loved the devotion they had for each other and how they would go out of the way for each other, they would kill and gave no f&cks and wouldn't let anyone get in the way of their love and that's what I call LOVE! I loved the plot, the storyline and the characters. I definitely feel like it was right up my alley because I love dark, gritty and depraved and this had all three things in this story. I could sit here and write a long review but I figure I could just let you read the book and find out for yourself whether to sit and ponder whether it was for you or not.
