I bought this book when a book store was going out of business. What brought me to buy it was the name and what I read on the back of the book. I started reading the first chapter and I couldn't put it down. I read that book in 2 days and was dying to buy the next one. 
 I love the characters and what they go thought. Valek made my heart beat fast and I actually was surprised when he announced his love for Yelena. 
 I'm glad the author didn't hold things back and let the picture to painted of what Yelena went through in her childhood that lead her to where the story starts.
