This book had me literally gobsmacked, I was lost for words. I am still trying to think how I can review it as I am sorting out all the interwoven threads that make up the tapestry of this twisted love story. It is definitely the darkest book with Ara living through the torture but not getting on with her life and then David reappearing into her life only destined to leave again to protect her. Almost getting married to her best friend yet still having unresolved feelings for him and somewhere in there the love triangle becomes a square. Ara is developing feelings for Jason that she is not really aware of as she is dreaming of him and Emily is falling in love with Mike. Talk about a close relationship with friends and way too much sharing for my liking. Dad leaving the Council and is on the run and will he return for Ara? I liked Eric's character he was a true vampire in that sense but still her friend when it can time to be counted. So many twists and turns and questioning if someone does bad things does that make them evil or are their choices just bad based on the situation? Can you forgive someone for hurting you so deeply that you will never recover from it completely? Is love eternal and all forgiving and just how badly do you want to live when everything you love is gone forever? Lots of questions and I so did not see the ending coming and frankly I am a bit relieved that it ended this way as I was seriously wondering if there was going to be a sort of happily ever after. It was definitely more of a Grimm's fairytale that is for sure but I was constantly amazed at the direction of the book. I thought I had it all figured out but I was so wrong and it is a credit to the author that I was captivated till the very end.
