I received this book from the author for an honest review.The author contacted my blog asking to share buy links.  I was like COOL sounding book.  So I asked for a review copy.  It sat for a few days and then I see that it is banned.  SO yes it did make that book pop to the top of my reading list based on that. I mean I wanted to know what was so awful about it to be banned??!!  uhm I honeslty have no Earthly clue why it was banned.....I mean I am sitting her scratching my head going "huh?"I am a reader of alot of books.  I read happy, light to dark and gritty.  This books is marketed as dark and gritty and yes I get what the author is trying at with the lives Dimi and Columbia have led.  Dark, gritty and sad but I didnt really feel connected to them inspite of what they admit to the reader.The crazy whiplash love of theres was also a bit unbelieveable,..I mean he is beating the heck outta her and almost strangles her to death because he thinks she was sent to murder him and then 12 hours later admitting he is in love with her???  My head was spinning...........And the same with her.....She is alll for protecting her sister from the Big Bad Wolkf (AKA Her step father) but after about 5 minutes she is all about "Eh life is good here and I wanna be his pet/lover".......  I just could believe that story line.... I mean she started to cut to deal with her fathers abuse soo to just all of a sudden be like "Peace out sister" was kinda hard to take.What I did enjoy was the "quiet moments" between the two...yes i know it makes no sense because I didnt like their love story right??  I just didn't like the Timeline of their love story....that is my main issue......I know I maybe making no sense but I did love the moments when they were sweet and caring.  I mean they are the perfet person for the other.  Her with her cutting scars and him with his burns have been through ALOT seperately so will they be a strong couple YES!!!i loved that they both looked past the others "flawed" features to  SEE the person underneath the physical exterior.  That was a great scene when he let sher take off the blindfold and she acceptes him for him and doesnt SEE the scars......It was a very sweet moment even if Dimi did screw it up...lol.
