"Control. The one thing that shaped my life, and the one thing I felt that I was about to lose."OH MY GOD Make it Stop!! PLEASE let me off, I don't want to read it anymore!!! Honestly, I can't do it, I am going to be sick please STOP!!!! SERIOUSLY I NEED A BREAK!!! Oh wait, wait this wasn't that bad, OK I am OK everyone I love is OK!! WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED TO ME!!!I just rode the Tabitha McGowan Roller Coaster and I SURVIVED. Now give me my T-Shirt!!"So, this is where it all starts."Ok so now that I can form a sentence. This is what this book did to me, I thought I was going to be sick and I was pretty sure I was never going to recover. Never has a book taken me from Laughing, to holy HOT, to well that makes me sick, to HOLY S*** WTF, to ok now I'm crying and shocked, to an ending where I am saying THANK GOODNESS THANK YOU!!! I am struggling with this review because I LOVED THIS BOOK but I also feel like I was just abused and I am still trying to recover from the emotions. But I ABSOLUTELY want everyone I know to read it!!This book was kind a like a fairy tale in the aspect of you had someone locked in a castle, you of course had a wicked witch and you had a savior. However everything was backwards, because the someone wasn't a princess and the savior wasn't a white knight."I had never met anyone quite like the willow thin young man standing before me: Finn had the face of a fallen angel.""The very first time I met him, Finn Strachan stole my breath."See this story is about Finn Strachan, and he is the prince trapped in the castle by the witched witch Blaine Albermarle. I know even her names screams BITCH!!! But Blaine makes a mistake like all wicked witches and she brings Lilth Bresson in to the castle to paint a portrait due to Lilth father's has a debt that needs to be settled. TADA See the fairy tale happening.However this fairy tale is about to get DARK, because this wicked witch is nothing like the ones we have met before. She is terrible, I swear punched me in the stomach, I HATED HER, I wanted to kill her with my bare hands."Blaine Albermarle in the flesh was every bit as stunning as her photograph""That was the moment that I realized that I didn't like her. I knew nothing else about the women, but I did know this."The things I read during this story made me sick, sad, and speechless. But I also had moments where I was smiling and I was in love. Throughout this story I read about a grown man being beaten, raped, drugged, controlled and made worthless. I watched a women come in and rescue him, love him, defend him, protect him and give him back pieces of himself. Finn is a character that I will never forget between his drug addiction, his worthlessness and his ability to still love I was in awe of him, his strength. Lilith the heroine, was a person I wish I was, she was so strong, so in control and was exactly what Finn needed. I LOVED HER!!!"Something immutable happened to the bond between Finn Strachan and me, and our unnamed relationship shifted into something far stronger than either of us know how to control. If I'd had the energy, I might have halted it there, kept my face turned away and driven on through the storm. But right then, I needed the haven that Finn offered more than oxygen."With all this being said I LOVED this book, I will never forget this book and I think everyone needs to read this book. Tabitha is brilliant and the way she wrote of this subject matter was BRILLIANT!!! She absolutely has made me a forever fan and I cannot wait for book 2.
