OMG. Couldn't put this one down, and I had to wait until my heart stopped racing to sit down calmly and write this review. I've been a fan of this series from novella #1, and not until now did I realize exactly how WHOLLY invested I was in these characters and their story. Okay... maybe I had an inkling of how much I loved Dare Wilde from day one, but his story is even more compelling in this installment because of his father's presence... a truly evil, remorseless presence that adds so much external drama that it raises the stakes higher than they've ever been. Ree's story is more satisfying than ever in this installment because she finally stands up to her (equally evil, IMO) Goliath of a father and makes the clean break from any lingering sort of dependency that she has on her family and from her pills. Ree really was incredible in this one, and I was so glad to see her pull on her OWN strengths, not just rely on Dare's.Throughout it all, Dare and Ree fight for each other. It's utterly heartwrenching to have Dare start out in the story so physically broken, and there was another completely heartbreaking moment that I'm not going to spoil... But to even it out, there were several moments when I literally cheered out loud. Dare and Ree make a bigger leap than they ever have before in this story. They're finally willing to COMMIT to one another, to protect each other equally, and it is so GOOD to finally see them pull together as a team when push comes to shove. It's a roller-coaster of a ride for them, and for me as a reader as I braced myself the entire time for the huge bomb to drop...  And the ending... oh, the ending...Somebody please give me a hug. And the final installment, STAT.
