Review: Seriously dark. Seriously intense. Seriously the end?

This book has done a lot to help shape my opinions on cliffhangers, and my conclusion is that I'm not a real fan of them. When I invest so much time in a book, I really, really, really want a sense of closure at the end. Maybe it's just me, but I read so much that by the time the next book comes out, I will have forgotten the details of the story, and I definitely will have lost the way the book made me feel. I'm okay with cliffhangers ONLY if the next book is currently available...so, with that said, I will warn readers that this book does contain a cliffhanger.I really liked that both Emma and David were flawed characters. We all have flaws, and I think that flawed characters in books help us to identify with the story and to really put ourselves in the characters' places. It's okay that I didn't agree with all of the characters' thoughts, feelings, and actions because I could identify with their hurt, confusion, and yearning.This was quite a gripping story...a little slow to build following the epilogue, but I was okay with that when I thought that there would be closure in the end. Without that closure, I'm left feeling just a little disappointed. I liked the intensity and suspense of the story. I was just left seriously wanting in the end...
