There are times when you read a book and as you turn each page you don't fully believe what you are reading and when the end comes there is no immediate reaction - you just sit there - vacant.The Devil's Pawn by Elizabeth Finn did that to me. It is one of the most moving compelling novels I have read. It hooked me from page one and I knew that this was a read that would consume me; it did and I read the whole book in one sitting.  I couldn't get the characters or story out of my mind.Elizabeth Finn has come up with an unbelievable story, plot and characters. Her writing is graphic, vivid and very emotive.  You just want to hate some of the characters - they are so brilliantly written.Previous reviewers provide a warning for a reason.  It s not an easy read, it is heartbreaking, destructive, cruel and unbelievable at times but I absolutely loved it and I have found another great writer in Elizabeth Finn.Despite the dark side to Devil's Pawn it is an incredible touching love story, that will have you on the edge of your seat desperate to know will happen for Ashton and Derek.  Will they defeat their common enemy? Will they have their happy ever after or will they remain pawns in a torturous game that will bind them together or tear them apart forever? Read it and see.  The Devil's Pawn is one book that I won't forget soon and will stay in my thoughts for a long time.I am look forward to her next release (whenever that will be) when she writes it I will buy it.
