Here goes.... 
 Im not saying I agree with everything in this book, or that it is for everyone, because it isn't! But this book put me through the 5 stages of grief so I have to say if you can pull that kind of emotion from me you deserve 5 Star.... If you want a traditional HEA with Love roses and wedding DO NOT READ THIS!!!! If you want to face the fact that not everyone's ending is the same and keep an open mind about it then try this book. 
 Holy hectate Batman!! This book put me on a rollercoaster and shoved me off. 
 Austin and Casey were odd together at first...Until Austin admitted what he was feeling with Barret and Casey replacing him, He really felt like a jerk...Then he reveals more of what happened with him and Barrett...and I warmed up to him. I liked that Austin was relatable and that although headstrong he could be reached emotionally and faced up to his mistakes. What he goes through with the demon was horrifying, and gut-wrenching, but the way it was written you could see how the demon made things happen. 
 Casey was complex, she seemed standoffish but with her past it was understandable, and when she did connect with the team it was amazing to watch...She was warm, strong and flawed. 
 I think that's whey I liked this book. These characters, primary and secondary, were human, They screwed up royally and learned from their mistakes. They had relationships and called each other out when they needed to they meddled in each others lives and were really a family. They were far from perfect. The author even incorporates a struggle many women have in real life: Not obtaining orgasm... and what they go through in that. 
 Alright now onto the end...Once again this is not an end for everyone. (view spoiler)[I'm hiding this because it totally gives the ending away! MS. Mayor you ripped my heart out...I did not see this ending coming until Barrett woke up and watched the final episode for himself...I prayed while reading this, I wanted to bargain with you, with the characters. I finished this book and felt gutted, hollow and sad. You went there, and you did it beautifully. I kissed my baby and my fiancee so many times last night, because you made me remember, love isn't just a happy ending, its so much more. (hide spoiler)] I was shocked, then in denial, then angry and finally I realized, you had engaged me so much I felt for the characters. Kudos Ms. Mayor...Kudos. now I need to go read something on the opposite end of the spectrum cuz I have a book hangover!
