I am more picky with books like this than I am with most subjects that I read. What subject is that, you ask? I cannot say, you'll have to read it and find out. Anyway, I'm picky for a reason, so when I got this one I thought I figured out what was happening pretty early on...and I did (for a reason). Even though I sort of knew what was happening, I loved it. That doesn't happen often. Normally, once I think I know where a story is going, I either get bored, or don't end up "loving it". I haven't read Calia's other books, but I'm going to say it anyway: this is her best work yet. I'm so glad I made her send it to me. I'm so glad I read it and I will definitely be reading it again. 
 *note: this review is as cryptic as the book itself. Because I'm being mysterious about it, I'll describe it in a few words: 
 bold 
 sexy 
 beautiful 
 mind fuckery
