"I bend close to his ear, in the same way he had once done to me. "No," I say. "I will keep you, until the day I choose not to. You have destroyed and harmed all that is dear to me. In return, I want you to know what that feels like. I will not kill you. I will keep you alive. I will torture you." My voice drops to a whisper. "Until your soul is dead." 
 My, my, my. Adelina, aren't you the dark one? I lovedddd this book. It was dark and made you ask yourself who was in the right or wrong? I thought it was great that Adelina embraced her darkness and used her powers to exact her revenge on those who had wronged her. Her powers definitely gave me a lord of the rings vibe. Her darkness called to her like Precious to Smeagol, trying to convince her everyone was waiting to betray her or take what was hers. I liked all the new characters. I liked Meave as a queen who had no problem going after what she wanted, even if I didn't agree with her goals. I liked Magiano and Sergio a whole lot and their powers were awesome, not to mention their fighting skills. Plus Magiano is such a sweetheart and smooth talker. The recurring characters were still as captivating as ever. Although I understood some of Enzo's decisions, in the end, he broke my heart. Violetta was vital to many battles, so I liked her more in this book, but like Adelina, I don't think I could ever fully forgive how she stood by and allowed their father to abuse Adelina for years. The Daggers... I don't like any of those traitors. Lol. And evil, evil, deranged Teren finally got his comeuppance and man....was it sweet. Once again, the ending was quite unexpected. Looking forward to book 3.
