I was given this book in return for an honest review. I'm going to keep my synopsis short on this book, if I get to into it, I will give everything away. Gwyneth was an infant when her family was murdered. As a result of the mental trauma, she lost her sight. She lives with a wonderful couple and tries to lead a normal life. Then everything changes with the arrival of the mysterious Jace. She sees him as a bright burning light and it makes her physically ill. He won't leave her alone, he shows up everywhere and insists on being near her. Over time, the physical side affects dim somewhat and Jace begins to tell her of a past she has no memory of. Can she believe what he is saying? She has no one she can talk to about it, nobody would believe her anyway. She has her best friend and her close boxing buddy, but that's about it and she thinks she may be going crazy, and is sure they would think so as well. It doesn't help that she's having visions on top of all the other weird stuff going on around her. He makes her nervous and excited at the same time. In the end, she will have to trust somebody, but will she make the right choice?  Her choice ultimately will have the fate of an entire race hanging in the balance. Want a taste of Jace?? His voice tasted like syrup on my tongue, but his lips never moved. This book was refreshingly different, I love when I read something new and not like all the other books. There is a lot of tension between Jace and Winnie, it is palpable through the entire book. This was a very original story line and I enjoyed trying to figure out what the heck was going on. There is a lot of intricacies to this story and it's background. The paranormal elements are super cool but you really need to pay attention to the story and the visions or you will have to backtrack to understand what is going on. The only complaint I have is that it did get a bit dragged out in the middle of the story, but that's it.
