I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.I really wish there was such a thing as "half a star" cause this is a 4.5 for me!!WOWEEeeee what a ride! This book took me completely by surprise - it started with a bang (LITERALLY) and kept going from there in style. Crazy, swervy, avoid that EEEEP style from one breathless moment to the next. That is not to say that this book doesn't give you lots of emotional depth and insight into the lives and thoughts of Cora and Marcus and the others that surround them.As the book begins we learn about the assignment Marcus ("Mace") has been on for months and how his life originally intersected with Cora and her new husband's. As the book continues to unfold we see how brilliantly and (it takes such amazing skill by Ms. Fay to make it look like this) effortlessly Marcus is now completely entangled into Cora's current predicament and whatever remains of and/or what she can make of her life now. We also learn, along with a stunned Cora, Mace, Knox, Trent and Saraphine, who (or more precisely what) Cora is. The impact that this information has on their lives and the actual world is HUGE and again, brilliant and something I did not see coming but that I think is "wicked" awesome.The only complaint I have about this book - and others have expressed the same thought in their reviews as well - was that this book ENDS and the way it ends. We better get book two SOON dammit! PLEASE?!? I cannot wait to see what happens with Knox and his assignment and the cottage (OY THE ENDING) and Mace! Oh I must add I totally and completely ADORE Meeka.
