Rating: 5 out of 5

I have never watched someone I love deteriorate because of an incurable disease. I have never suffered the trauma of a tumor. I can’t begin to imagine the pain a person experiences because of it. But in this book, I get to know what it’s like.Grace’s deterioration is more vivid in this book, and it’s heartbreaking. The end is coming, I just wish it wasn’t.Her relationship with Roman is stunning to watch unfold. Emotions run deeper than before, made evident by Grace’s feelings in the face of what she believes is his betrayal and again by her request at the end of the story. It was stated in book one that vampires are not without emotions or feelings. Roman explains his theory why it seemed to take him so long to acknowledge his own for Grace in book two. His reason makes sense; time, violence, grief, and loss would leave anyone jaded and prolong their acceptance of what was plain to most.If I could ask one thing of Ms. Davies, it would be to give Roman and Grace an ending free of pain, suffering, and loss. Sadly, I know it can’t be. Though I wish it were otherwise, they have what most fictional couples do not: centuries of knowing and loving each other, and creating memories together.***Received from author for an honest review***
