Interesting... 
 I admit that the blurb offering the darkest of the dark is what sucked me in. But honestly? It wasn't THAT dark. (Clearly I have been ruined by CJ Roberts, Kitty Thomas, and Pepper Winters) 
 It ended up being a pretty good story, it sucked me in and I couldn't put it down. 
 It was different, unique, and entrancing. 
 The writing is fantastic and I found myself damn near drooling at the the exquisite use of the English language. 
 If you are new to dark romance, this one would be good. If you are sick in the head as I am, consider this a lighter read but still a very very good one. 
 The ending was a little less than stellar, but it was satisfying enough. It left me with questions, which is great for a series but for a standalone leaves me a little meh. 
 This one is between 3.5-4 stars. :)
