If you haven't read 'A Terrible Love', then don't read this until you have. You wont gain the full impact of the story if you haven't experienced the suspense, the twists and the surprises from the first book.The title suggests a companion novel, but for me it was more. Combine the two books and you have a completed jigsaw puzzle. All the pieces fit perfectly together and the overall picture is one that moved me on many levels (granted differently to the first and not quite with as much impact). Cas' point of view is very different and has been kept fresh; it wasn't repetitive and there were a couple of surprises thrown in. He's complex, he's dark and he's brooding, but we see his vulnerable side and his witty side which we weren't privy to before. The banter with his colleagues lifted the story exactly when it needed it and they are fabulous secondary characters who I would happily like to see have their own stories.I may have known the overall outcome, but I still couldn't put it down. Both books are definitely worth reading.
