First Impression...I love Courtney Cole books so I jumped at the chance to read this one.  I've been reading too much straight romance and lots of NA lately, so I needed this change.  I love the cover and was very excited to get to this one.The Characters...Luca intrigues me from the start.  He clearly sees himself as a monster and there are terrible things happening in the night so it's easy to think it's him.  Courtney never takes the easy way though.  I fell for Luca so quickly.  Though I had to have a little comfort from a pal, I read on and love this man.Eva is interesting.  She's confident in her abilities and strong.  Her willingness to help Luca's mother and her determination to help Luca himself had me loving her.  I enjoyed going on the journey with her to figure out the puzzle that was this story.The Story...Dark and thrilling, this one takes a twisting path as the story of the Minaldi legacy is told.  Luca and Eva are very much drawn to each other with intense chemistry and a whole lot of intrigue.  Though we are in both of their heads, it is not clear at all what the beast is or how this one will play out.  I enjoyed the challenge of trying to figure it out.  My mind was made up on what I thought was going on and though I got some pieces right, there were some surprises.The Writing...I love Courtney's writing.  She unfolds a story in such a way that I am busy flipping pages and excited to see what will happen next.  The balance between description and action is perfect.  I can see the story and feel it too.  This may be my favorite of hers so far.Could I Put it Down...Didn't have to so I didn't.In The End...I completely enjoyed this one.  Needing a slightly different genre, I devoured it.  Anyone who has read Cole will want to pick this one up but if you haven't had the pleasure and love the suspenseful romance with some dark twists then this one needs to be next on your list.
