Review: Dark and emotional
Rating: 4 out of 5

From the very first word, this book dripped with emotion - it was a dark, harrowing story of abuse and fear, but also one filled with hope, love and trust.I will admit that I didn't quite connect with the characters as much as I would have liked, but Jade's story was devastating, and I rooted for her from the start, hoping she'd find happiness. This story also held a bit of mystery, and I was intrigued by Kyler. Why was he so closed off from the rest of the world? Was he anything like the characters he created? And what was his real intent with Jade? I knew he wasn't sinister and he had her best interests at heart, but I got the sense that his compassion for her was more a means to fill a gap in his life.The story felt a little drawn out at times, and I was expecting more excitement or drama. It did come, but much later in the story, and I was not at all expecting the curveball thrown into the conclusion of this book. Do not assume to know everything about Jade's past, especially when it comes to the flashbacks she experiences throughout the book, because you'll be in for a surprise.This book was a good read, I just felt a little too detached whilst reading it.
