Review: This story is probably not what you would expect.

I picked up this book after seeing it mentioned on a must read list of one of my fav authors. It is a fast read and I did find myself connecting to the characters; Alistairs is a handsome up and coming actor and "Black Betty" aka Bethany is a young woman trying to keep the power and control of her life in her own hands. The premise of this book/series is intriguing and definately pulls you in. I felt that it moved a little too fast and I wanted to see things developed a bit more. Maybe that is what the series has in mind to take us back to understand Bethany's past and what she is healing/escaping from. Alisters goes through a dramatic transformation and it is almost hard to see why he is willing to walk away from elements of his career based on what we have seen so far, maybe this will be built up as the series progresses. What I did like was the tasteful matter in which the story was written. I really would rate this a 3.5 if it were available. I will pick up the next edition to see how it developes to determine how much more time I will invest in this story; I'm not ready to give up on it just yet :)
