Wow, this was an incredible book.  I am in awe of Ms. Chambers right now.  I loved the Jason and Azazel trilogy and was reluctant to read this because I knew they were not together in this book.  I am so glad I read it because it was fantastic.We move forward several years after Tortured ended and Jason and Azazel are not together anymore.  The east coast is a mess with no electricity and people are dying.  Jason is at odds with the new government and wants Azazel to forgive him for something horrible he did that caused the break up.  Azazel is a member of the OF (Order of the Fly) which is now the new government.  She swore she never wanted to see Jason again and is sent by her bosses to talk to him.  She has a new love interest in this story, Kieran, who seems like a nice guy, but lacks the charm and intensity that Jason has.  Jason is crazy and powerful.  He still loves Azazel, but she can never love him again.  Personally, me thinks the lady doth protest too much, because it's obvious there is still something between them.  Azazel is also on a downward spiral into Looneyville as there are some very disturbing scenes, one in particular that convinces me her bags are packed and boarding the crazy train.This was a very dark and intense story with non-stop action and surprises along the way.  Man even though Jason has clearly lost his mind and has shown just how incredibly cruel he can be, I still love him and want him to end up with Azazel.  I guess that makes me seriously screwed up, but I just can't help it, I can't get enough of this guy.
