Meresin's secret yearning for Dru and his inability to open up is especially heartbreaking. You'll long for him to receive the love and the redemption that he deserves.There is enough action to keep the book moving along at a good pace. There's humor to light the dark. There is the hope of redemption. But the story you'll take with you, the story you'll hug to your heart, is the heartbreaking, uplifting love story of a tortured fallen angel and the vampire who didn't give up on him.Enjoy!(ARC provided by publisher in exchange for an honest review)
