Many of us have read this story before - the illicit relationship between Professor and student but what makes this stand out from similar stories is Ella Franks’ writing and those three words - tick, tick tock. Each page you turn in this story is like a countdown to an explosion - you know the inevitable is going to happen - the bomb is going to go off.The story is split into two parts past and present - before and after  Grayson McKendrick - her history professor.Addison Lancaster - ingénue or Siren?  The first time he heard her name he knew he was in trouble and it began the day she stepped into his classroom late.  She looked at him - he looked at her.  His ending staring right at him.ObsessionFascinationForbiddenDestructionCorruptionTemptation - he gave into it. She was his own personal sin and he fell.I loved what Ella Frank has done with this story  She has created a magical story bringing together the modern version of Cupid and Psyche. The forbidden love,  the fairy story with the monsters.It peels back the complexities of human thinking and feelings and how it centred on Grayson and Adddison’s struggle to reach that happy ending. For me there was nothing illicit about their love.  It was pure and in the end all their pain, sorrow and challenges align and eventually their love is realized.What is done out of Love always takes place beyond good and evil”And that’s all I am going to say - this is a must read.
