I was so excited when I was asked if I wanted to review this book. I already had this on my wish list with Amazon, so I snatched the opportunity to read it.  I love this series and this cover is smoking! Just the cover makes you want to buy the book.Hadrian is the true definition of tortured Alpha hero. The demon inside of him (his vampire) tortures him with visions of his maker's past. He has watched his maker kill thousands upon thousands of innocents, raping and pillaging villages. He is haunted by Imbarsus' past deeds and the fact that he feels as though he murdered his brother. He goes into hiding, renounce his rightful place as king for over 350 years, trying to deal with the madness that is consuming him.Eva was raised by her mother for the first seventeen years of her life. She was loved and cherished. When her mother died of cancer when she was seventeen her father came and snatched her up. Living with her father was torture. He and his wife and full-blooded shifter children beat and tormented her nonstop. When she gets the opportunity to escape that life, she snatches it, even if her escape is her father sending her to a crazed vampire to spare one of his treasured full-blood daughters.This story was so emotionally charged, with both the hero and heroine believing that they didn't deserve the other. They almost pushed each other away permanently. When Hadrian keep pushing Eva away "for her own good" because he was too evil for her, I wanted to punch him and when Eva didn't stand against him while he was doing this I wanted to slap her. Everyone could see they were meant to be together except for them.  I really loved this book and fell into the characters so much so that now, I can't wait to see what happens with Falcon and Sonya. What a cliff hanger.Ms. Greene definitely knows how to spin her web. Drawing you into the characters and their lives, making you live within their heads, feel what they feel . She is definitely a master story teller and I can't wait to read more.
