I received this book in exchange for an honest review.I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I joined this blog tour and agreed to do a review on the book.  I'm not even really sure how to begin.  I have to say that this may be one of my top 5 books that I've ever read.  Thankfully, when the book starts the main character, Mia, lets you know that this is no fairy tale - and it definitely is not.  This book doesn't have a happy ending, and it leaves you with quite a cliff hanger; and your jaw resting on the floor.  This isn't your typical Mature YA vampire story full of hearts and flowers and true love with a happily ever after.  This story is dark and at times made me jumpy.  This is a story about vampires the way they should be - the kinds that makes you look over your shoulder anytime you're out after dark.The author did an amazing job making you feel what Mia feels once she is captive.  That's right, she is kidnapped and held captive.  She has no changes of clothes, she is roomed with a girl that asks daily to be killed because she just doesn't want to do it anymore.  They have a bathroom that is filthy with no faucet on the sink or tub, and are only given the faucet to put on when their kidnappers decide they want them to not stink anymore.  It is very heartbreaking reading the first half of the book.  I really don't know how to explain the emotions I felt while reading it.I will say that she manages to escape, in a way, but I'm not going to divulge exactly how that happens.  You really just need to read the book, because the second half is what she goes through after she breaks free.  Seriously, this book is... I want to say amazing, but feel that it is wrong because of the situation in the story.  But it really is simply amazing.
