This book, I really don't know what to say about it! It's a great book, but it's not a "light" read whatsoever. Lilith is a tough woman, and I enjoyed reading about a character like her. Finn, no matter how broken he is, he really does manage to have hope, and with everything hes's gone through and endured, that takes a lot! I personally though this book had a slow start, and I had a hard time getting into it. Lilith is an artist who is requested to paint a portrait for the Lady of the property, at which Finn is pretty much the "boy toy" of said property. The relationship between Lilith and Finn is direct from the start, yet also builds very slowly. She's got his back, while he debates what is best for her. For someone in Finn's position, he's a lot like a secret knight in shining armor in terms of how he goes back and forth with morals. And morals...there really aren't any. My heart broke for Finn, and for him to continue living on, it says a lot. Now, as much as I liked this book, I really felt that this was one that either needed to continue the story a little longer, or have an epilogue. With everything the Lilith and Finn went through, my mind needs to know what happens next. I'm a need to know kind of girl! I get that the author probably wants everyone to come to their own conclusion, but I really want to know what happened to all of the people that were clients, as well as Finn and his drug issues. Anything more would be a bonus, but those were my main concerns when I was done. I got to 99%, went to "swipe" the page, and there's nothing left...I felt a little let down. However, overall, this was a really well written book, and the topic was somewhat similar, but with roles reversed. I would definitely recommend it to someone looking for a darker read!
