This is my second Lila Felix book. I was both excited and wary of reading this one. But.. What can I say? This book is sooo full of heart-wrenching emotions and flawed characters, with demons of the present and ghosts of the past to face.It took some time for me get into the story- after reading the prologue and first two chapters, I was almost sure that I had made a mistake in trying to read this book. Well, I'm really glad I continued reading it!The female lead is Aysa. I was seriously shocked about Aysa's character- I really hope there is no one in the real world out there like her. Aysa is not your average heroine- most people do not even see her, and act as if she does not exist. If they do see her, they end up either making fun of her in some way, or using her for their own ends and not even thanking her for it.Ezra is a twenty to year old male, who keeps running from the mistakes of his past. His past and his actions there define his present in every way. The story revolves around these two. Will they both save each other, or will they pull each other down into the abyss?The character development was very good. Lila Felix slowly builds the characters- so subtly that before I knew what was happening, I was so invested in the characters that I was unable to stop reading the book , wanting to know what happens next. Even though I was sure I would not like the bevy of emotions this book churned in me.And, Is that HEA by the end of that book? NO. Instead, this book leaves us with a cliffhanger. Now I'll just have to wait for the second book Doves for Sale, and hope for a HEA there at least!Also, the cover is quite beautiful.I received an ARC of this book from the author for an honest review.
