I found this book utterly fascinating. It can be read on so many levels, whatever one's taste happens to be. If your interest is eroticism, then this book is for you!But that's just the first layer. I thought the character development was superb. Hope and Enrique are characters who won me over. Hope had the misfortune to be born to a father and in a country where females are not very highly valued. Given the cards she was dealt, she did rather well for herself until inadvertent addiction raised its ugly head.The theme of addiction runs throughout the book in various forms and the reader begins to question whether any of us really is in control of our lives. Is there a cosmic force operating in our lives? Are our lives predestined? Do we have free will? Certainly those questions can be explored through Hope as the story progresses.And Enrique. I find it hard to believe that I really cared about a vampire, but I cared about this one. There are myriad levels the author explores here and as I finished the book I realized how much I had grown to care for these two characters. Only a very, very good author could write a story on so many levels and make the reader feel a sense of pathos for characters such as these. Brilliant writing!
