Dr. Regina Miles is an intern starting her career,who encounters a man who is a monster in the guise of beauty.  Nicholas Anthony, wealthy, sinfully handsome is brought the to hospital where Regina works with an injury that would have killed any mortal man.  Mortal he is not. Evil lives inside of him and he is compelled to sip at the well of goodness he finds in women.  Regina is the next victim but is she really a victim?  This story was unlike any love story I have ever read. Nicholas uses his hypnotic powers of persuasion to manipulate Regina in a way that I felt was truly horrible and predatory.  I was unsure how this story would play out with all of the lies and secrets surrounding Nick and the vulnerable sweet soul that is Regina.  I was repulsed but captivated by this story and glad the ending was not all sweet and rosy. It kept my attention to the end even though I was very relieved to be released from the macabre tension that engulfs you as you read. Don't skip this book. It is well written and you feel the horror as it builds and let out your own sweet relief when it is over. The epilogue was really good and surprising as well.
