I wasn't sure how I felt about this book when I found out that it was about Reyes. He after all houses the demon Pain. I thought to myself how will the author be able to make a love story work for Reyes without it being to violent or sadomasochistic (not sure if I spelled this right). 
 I was pleasantly surprised by this book. Gena Showalter brought the perfect balance of gentleness and aggressiveness when having Reyes' and Danika's love story unfold. His gentleness with her and her aggression (she is a little spitfire) towards him made for a very tantalizing and entertaining story. Very well done!
