I went in with extremely high hopes after seeing a glimpse of Connor (yrs older) in Thin Lines/ Thin Lives. I wanted to read his back story so bad. And I was not disappointed. 
 His childhood was the stuff of nightmares. I wanted to strangle and mutilate his father, Sean, from about 5 pages in. Ughh, that man was a freaking MONSTER. Connor's one friend was Evelyn, who disappears into thin air. 
 Jump forward into adulthood and Connor is just trying to stay off his father's radar. His father's main trade is skin and Connor wants no part in it. This aspect was raw and gritty, mostly due to the fact that you know this actually happens all the time. It's sad how someone can seemingly disappear, when the horror is really just beginning for them. 
 Through a set of circumstances, Connor and Evelyn meet again... Only she's been through hell. She's been a slave, passed around from owner to owner. Hearing the things that she'd been through made you want to go out and castrate a few men. 
 Connor and Evelyn were made for each other. Their crazy called to one another. Connor didn't treat Evelyn like some injured thing that would break at any moment and it gave Evelyn the strength she needed to come out of her shell and accept her freedom. Connor had a lot going on too that only Evelyn could understand and relate to. Where others judged him, she welcomed who he was, faults and all, and asked him to let her see his darkness. And boy was it dark. Connor had a real craziness to him, but I loved it. He let the monster out for all the right reasons. 
 (view spoiler)[I loved the aspect of her drawings and him tattooing. It was such an intimate experience when she showed her drawings to him and he tattooed some of them unto her skin. (hide spoiler)] 
 And their sex... OMG. It was hard, it was hot, it was everything you want in a sex scene. They both had filthy mouths and I loved it. 
 There was lots of action, mob activity, and mystery (as to what the hell was going on with Sean's psycho self). 
 The epilogue was great and tied things up very nicely. Great read.
