Wow... This book is anything but what I expected. It is a love story, but a completely unexpected one. It was very disturbing and beautiful at the same time. My heart ached, my anger flared. I was left in awe and I was so torn while reading it.I spent most of the book struggling to understand why more women in the commune were not like Emily, only to realize that most of them were just conformists. Emily was brave and bold and needed to stand on her own. She needed to be her own person. And the two people that can help the most with this goal are both on the outside looking in.This story broke my heart into a million pieces. I felt so horrible for Emily and Tess through the entire book and I wanted to drop-kick my Kindle in hopes that my foot may find its way to Lorenzo's ass...and Emily's dad's and brother's and pretty much all the guys in this book. With the exception of those two that want so desperately to save Emily from the pain and struggle that she is living with on a daily basis.This book caught me so off guard and as much as I wanted to hate it because of the contents, I simply did not. I loved this book. It showed not only true love between Emily and Levi but the love that Tope had for both of them. It was beautifully written and tackled such a horrific subject.I was left with my mouth hanging open for most of the book constantly waiting for the next shoe to drop and I have to tell you, the ending was not the one I wanted, I hated it in fact. However, knowing that there will be a next book lightened my heart a little after it had been tormented through the entire book.This book was well written and the story well crafted. It hit on emotions that I had never felt while reading a book and to me that speaks volumes of T.R. Grave's ability to write a book that gets you right where it counts. It was masterfully written with such amazing detail.I am looking forward to the next book to see where it takes Emily and Tope as the journey continues on.*I received a complimentary copy of Grave Bound in exchange for an honest review
