What the heck did I just read??? This was a serious mind-bending book. I feel the need to warn. This is not a typical love story. This is DARK. It is also highly disturbing in many ways. There is drug use and addiction, non-consensual sex that is quite graphic and the hardest of the hard core. There is abuse on top of abuse on top of abuse...you get my point.  It was also really really well done.This was a debut novel for Tabitha McGowan, way to start off with a bang! If you were a fan of the Dark Duet by C.J. Roberts, then this is right up your alley. It is a little more depraved and dark, but similar in many ways. I am not afraid of the dark stuff but this one was one of the darkest I have read. It was brilliant.The story is told in first person through both Finn and Lilith's perspectives.Finn was absolutely heartbreaking and wonderful. Lilith was a complex character who grew on me. Blaine, well, she should really rot in hell. I hated her. The secondary characters were also absolutely wonderful and well thought out. This was a dark look at humanity with a lot of twists and turns. When a book can make me feel so many things, it is a five star read for me. I really, really liked it. So hold on to your hats, buckle in and enjoy the ride...if you dare.5  Captivating Stars!
