Rating: 4 out of 5

There are knights in shining armor (or covered with piercings and tattoos).  The point is everyone can be saved from a life of less and receive the more that they deserve.Evie is naive and "sheltered", she needs and wants to see and feel more of the world.  Van does that for her.The writing is quick and the story is completely from Evie's POV.  I would have liked more insight into Van that the little that comes out toward the end.  This combined with a rushed finish is why I gave the story 4 instead of 5 stars.
