Review: raw, disturbing, emotionally exhausting and fabulous

This is not an easy series to read.  Book 1 is pretty tame compared to Burn where the MC raunchiness is released in all of its dubious glory.  This is one of the most difficult MC books I've ever read.  This is not a tale of good vs. evil characters.  Everybody involved has a little good and a little evil.  And it is not so over the top that it is just hilarious in it's Jerry Springer style.  It is a story with very flawed but realistic characters who have many facets to their personalities and who have deep needs to love and cherish others.  They have been shaped by various circumstances in their lives.  There is a love triangle involved and at different times I would find myself cheering for different outcomes.  Then my hero of the moment would do something horrible to pull me back.  Sometimes I felt like there was no way the story could have a good outcome because it was all so horrible, so dysfunctional and hopeless.  Although there is a HEA this is as much a tragedy as a romance.  If you are in the mood for a (IMO) dark read with tons of angst, violence and heartbreak this is great.  This author has a lot of talent and I really look forward to reading the next book.
