Tessa and the females in their family have an unusual abilities. With one, touch they can see their future with men, it doesn't mean it always lead to happily ever after. In Tessa's case every possible future she sees with any guy, they die before they turn thirty, her gran and auntie tell her, choose her `best' option.All the women in her family have this ability, it manifest when they turn twelve and they have until their seventeen birthday to choose a boy.  Once they choose it's binding, after they choose, the gift disappears. The downside is once they choose, their husbands always die young. Always.I totally could understand Tessa's plight. Her wanting something more than that for herself and she doesn't want to send anyone to an early grave or leave her daughter fatherless, yes the only have daughters, no sons.As if her life wasn't complicated enough, a demon enters the picture. I felt so bad for Tessa, being born knowing she would have a hard life and having to make difficult decisions so young.The obsession the demon have with her is slightly disturbing, after he causes an incident, where another student gets hurt. Tessa is terrified what he want from her, is he feeling protective of her or does he want to possess her..Tessa is strong, even though she has weak moments where she freaks out, understandably. The demon, knows about the reason behind her families abilities, and the more they talk, Tessa realizes that he is lonely, and wants someone to choose him.This is a love story with an unusual twist and story line. Morik the demon, appeals to Tessa (and me) it's like I want to root for him.The book is seriously interesting, I liked that even though there was the demonic element, it wasn't too dark and gloomy. it was a fast read, because it piqued your interest, the book captures you and really gets invested in the book and what happens next.This was really a good read, I can't wait to read more by Melissa.3.5 stars
