Samantha Young has written a great story full of secrets, love and betrayal.  I loved this series, it is now joining my group of favourites of all time.  I loved the tension between Eden and Noah, that their relationship was not perfect.  Her love for her bother Stellan was beautiful, even if she thought they were all monsters.  He was her strength when she was weak, her only light in the darkness. *teary* I loved the fight scenes and of course the steamy ones too. *swoon* Noah is definitely a keeper.  There is so much to say about this series that I just can't put into words.Eden is a strong leading female, no doubt about it.  She fights for the underdog even when she is being a @*%&$.  I loved how she was willing to step in and defend people, no matter what it cost her.  I had some definite respect for her.  I loved how there was so many different sides to Eden. Sure she was nasty at times, nice at others, but she was also a loyal friend, loving sister, and tortured heroine. The stuff she had been through would make most people break, but not her, though I think this is mostly due to her brother.  He made her see that she could be more than a monster, that he wanted her to be more.  He was her pillar when she needed it most.  I loved his character, makes me wish I had a brother like him.Noah is a warrior, trained to fight and kill soul-eaters.  He believes in his duty and has never had a problem doing his job.  Until now.  He doesn't like what he is sent to do to Eden, hates himself for being part of it.  It was hard watching him struggle with his duty and what he felt for Eden.  He's a perfect match for Eden, just what she needed.  He was fighting for her even when she didn't want anything to do with him. He refused to let her destroy herself with her own hatred.  Most people would of given up but he never did. Noah is the rock that kept Eden grounded.Then we have other characters I loved so much.  Cyrus, Valeria, Darius, October and Cameron. Cyrus was awesome, I just loved him.  His story tore my heart out. *Kleenex* He was a strong man to be able to move forward instead of living in the past, to accept Eden with what she represents is just plain amazing. He simply made me want to give him a huge hug!  Valeria, here is a woman with the air of a Queen!  Yet another character I can't help but love and respect.  She makes a good role model for Eden. October (Tobe) and Cameron, they are so dang cute together. They were a perfect side romance to the story. Darius, lets just say he scared the @$&* out of me. Liked him, but wow, I sure wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley.Now moving on to the characters I hate! Teagan, Ryan and Celine.  OMG I hated them all soooooo much. Yes I needed those extra o's.  Ryan and Celine, if there could be anymore fail parents in the world I would be surprised.  They were horrible.  Sure they were protective of Eden, but for the wrong reasons.  Ryan alone made me want to vomit.  Him and Teagan were the most disgusting characters I have ever read about.  Truly, they made me want to kill them myself! I definitely have to hand it to Ms. Young for creating characters I hated so much.  She did a wonderful job, I didn't feel a single bit of pity for them and their fate! Would of loved to be there in those last moments.Seriously, this book (books) was amazing.  I have read several of her books, and I have never been let down, not once.  I can't wait to read more by her in the future, she is just that great of an author.  Do yourselves a favour and go grab this book, you won't regret it!
