This book is very different from what you are probably accustomed to. There is an abundance of torture and humiliation and at times I had to set the book aside to catch my breath. I was so afraid to continue for fear of the characters still being there when I picked it back up. Still, I finished because if Finn can then so can I.Finn was a lost child at a very young age and when happened upon the queen of horror. He was taken to her mansion on an island to be turned out as the main attraction in Blaine's house of terror. After years of enduring the sadistic fiend, Blaine takes a little interest in Finn's desires and has the new and coming artist to the mansion to do a painting of, who else, herself.Lilith is brought to the island but like the Eagles song "you can check out anytime you like but you can't ever leave". (I really believe this book was written for this song.) Lilith was offered the house pet but she turned her back to the witches wants and for the first time Blaine could not entice someone into her world of wickedness.I'm not going to go into it about Blaine because I just don't want to. The more I talk about this evil being the more bile that rises in my throat.There is so much that happens in this book and realistically I understand that someone could not endure all that Finn did and still live but you get so involved with the characters that you really feel their pain. You become involved with the heart wrenching sadness they feel. I can't say enough about the writing in this book either. Tabitha did a marvelous job sucking you into the story and making you live in the room with them. I'm sure I will have a hangover for a month and I already miss Finn and Lilith so much. There will be no more late night teas or early morning runs but I do hope that Spain treats them well.
