Well Sara has finally done it, I am literally speechless and for someone who likes to talk, that feat is nothing short of amazing. I love all her books and while I enjoy the "truly madly deeply moments" I am not lulled into a false sense of security as you can bet your ass that she will follow that up with a bloodthirsty and gut wrenching attack followed hear-tbreaking tragedy. I so did not envision that ending, hoping for a "born again" demon maybe but not such finality. Rylie and Elise team up again to accomplish their goals while James is out trying to secure his way into Eden whatever it takes. He used to be a favourite of mine but since he gave Elise up, his humanity has deserted him and his willingness to sacrifice whoever stands in his way is disheartening. He was the typical good guy yet his fixation has eclipsed the man he was. Interesting bonding moment for Riley and Elise as they realise how screwed up their lives had become and trying to live with the guilt and sacrifice on a day to day basis without a lifetime of regret and what could have been. What I really love about these books is that you can identify with the characters, not so much the kick ass saving the world type of personality that Elise has but you can empathise with her feelings of betrayal and loss. Loving someone so much yet they give you up to a torturous existence without a second thought, definitely hard to get over let alone forgive him. I was surprised by Riley's decision yet I could understand it on one level though the repercussions will haunt both women forever now.I can't begin to imagine how the story will progress with that kind of cliff hanger and it certainly got the adrenalin pumping though the neighbours probably did not appreciate all the yelling and swearing at 11.30pm at night when I read the last chapter. This bood is certainly not for the faint hearted and stock up on your tissues.I was given a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review but I have bought most of her books anyway.
