I received this book from the authors for an honest review.I was really excited to get this book from Dawn. I am a HUGE, GIANT, INSANE fan so to say I squealed when I saw it on my kindle would be correct!! I have just been introduced into the world of DARK novels. I was always scared of them but after a series, I found my inner-dark side lover.....sooo a new Angie came to light!!Now this book is very graphic which I was shocked didnt upset or offend me like I would have presumed. If you dont like rape and abuse then be warned because you defo are not "fading to black" during those dark times. Dawn and Lily put it right in your face and make no appologies for it. AGain be warned....DARK SIDE TIME!!Eleni and Gabriel are two very broken and MESSED up individuals. They both have demons who are talking to them and helping them make choices. Now Eleni's demons make her get drink every night, screw a different guy in a bathroom or alley every night and basically not give 2 craps about herself. She thinks she is ugly and wothless. Gabriel is scared up and emotional a mess after his happy family is killed. He sees this woman and becomes obsessed with her. He is going to make her see the error of her ways and break her into total submission.Gabriel is not a nice man. You dont ever think "ahh that Gabe. He is such a push over" cus he isnt. He is going to have Eleni's submission or kill her trying to break her. The torture and abuse is abundant through the novel. Eleni will not break and will not give in. She is playing the part of "The Good Girl" to avoid the abuse.The story has 2 big plot twists. I have to admit I saw the big one coming. i even messaged a friend who had read it and she was stunned I figured it out....LOL. Guess my dark side brain was more in tune then i knew!! The 2nd twist I really enjoyed and thought it was a great addition to the story.Why the 3 star review you ask? Well i kinda didnt feel the connection to the characters I usually do with Dawns reading. I could put the book down and I wasnt in a hurry to get back to it. I didnt have this OBESSED need to finish the book. I dont know. I just kinda felt it was missing SOMETHING.
