This is my first book by R. Lee Smith. I was kind of afraid to buy it, not being a fan of books about cruelty or human degradation. But while there were some tough scenes (I wasn't bombarded with them) they weren't gratuitous or used just for their shock value. I hate it when authors use this cheap trick just to get a reaction out of thier readers. But this was not the case here. Every scene had a purpose and everything came together wonderfully.This book was like a big, gourmet dinner. You have food for the mind and food for the soul - a great romance, some philosophical bits, some dry humour, tention, suspense, a bit of horror, and a WHOLE lot of imagination. The writing!  Gosh, the writing is incredible! It grips you and never lets go. I stayed up till 4:30 a.m. 3 days in a row. I couldn't put the book down until I was literally exhausted. And after finishing it, I wanted to start again from the beginning because I just couldn't let go. That's how good it is!This book ruined me for the next 6 months  - at least. It set the bar so high, that it's gonna be tough to find a satisfing read now...
