I knew going in that this was going to be a dark read.  I had it in my Kindle for awhile before I mustered up the courage to read it.  I am not a timid reader, and I occasionally like a dark story, but I have to be in the mood.It was a little slow getting started for me, but the beginning of the story does matter in the end, so I'm glad I stuck with it.  It's hard to say I "liked" this book or that I "enjoyed" it.  Those just aren't the right words.  But I was sucked in and captivated and basically held prisoner in Albermarle until the very end...and unbelievably...I can't even believe I'm saying this...but I want more.I have to know what becomes of Finn.  I've never wanted to hold a character so much.  I want him to be real so that someone can hold him, yet I'm glad he is not because no one should ever be treated so I humanely.  I want Blaine to be real so that she burns in the fires of hell, yet I'm glad she's not because hopefully no human like her really exists.If you like a wonderfully written, dark story that somehow will still warm your heart, than snatch this one up NOW!  You will love it.  I totally understand the five star reviews.  If you don't like a dark story with human suffering, this is not the love story for you.  It's not for everyone.  But then, few books really are...
