I learned about this book by following the author Drusilla Winters on Twitter and got it free in exchange for a review - which I am more than happen to provide!!Although the description of this book left me a little unsure as to whether or not I would like it, those doubts were dashed away from the moment I started reading it. Drusilla Winters didn't just tell a story about eight individual people being faced with their greatest desires/fears, she managed to personify the deadly sins and flawlessly and fluidly connect all eight characters to each other in a very real, very believable way.From lust to wrath to vainglory, Drusilla Winters brought each one to life - from the porn-star/producer Terrance "T-Sull" Sully to airline owner William Atherton, who struggles with anger-management issues, to Gabriel, a doctor who seems to be the main connector to all the characters and the sins they embody. Then there's the mysterious blond-haired, blue-eyed man with a prominent scar down the left side of his face. Although not shoved into the forefront as a main character, he is a constant presence as each character lives out their greatest desires-turned-greatest fears all the way to their deaths.Upon reaching the end (starting and finishing it in less than 24 hours), I was left with a feeling of wanting more. I want to know what test or experiment is being conducted by this mystery man and what his end goal is. Is he connected to the people chosen? And if so, how?I guess the best way to find out is to check out the next installment - Long Cold Winter. I am certainly looking forward to the ride!!!
