3.5/4 stars*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*In Hell Without You Clemetine Lettvin reluctantly returns to her hometown of Willow Heights.  Stopping by her deceased grandmother’s home for a little nostalgia she is suddenly reacquainted with Donovan Kemp, her first love, her only love and the man she left seven years prior to protect.I enjoyed this story and I enjoyed the characters, but I felt at times there was something missing and at other times it was a bit rushed.  I thought both characters were great and were equal to each other.  One wasn’t better than the other.  Donovan was initially very mysterious and somewhat secretive.  Clementine is very simple and in the beginning very stand offish with Donovan.  I think their connection or relationship should have gone into more detail in the beginning, only because Clementine basically wanted to run from Donovan as fast as possible, but the reader knows how much she truly loves him.  It would have explained her reasoning for her distance from him.  I think Donovan’s condition could have been explained a little thoroughly also, like a backstory to how and why, a particular incident would have helped the story.  The twist at the end was great, but it moved to quickly which didn’t elicit that feeling of suspense in the reader.All in all I do think the story and the characters were great and definitely worth reading.  I wanted to see what happened with Clementine and Donovan and was intrigued the minute I started reading.  I was never bored while reading, but wanted more from certain parts of the story and more detail.
