I finished this book 2 days ago and have been trying to put my thoughts together on a review. I loved it. I didn't want to stop reading while I was in it, and when I was done I wanted to go back and immediately read it again. At the same time, sometimes I struggled to understand exactly what was going on in Lex's head. I also finished the story thinking Dallas hadn't made many changes, but that Lex had come to understand him better as well as understanding what being Queen meant. I think my main issue is that it wasn't quite the ending I imagined for them. But it still really worked for me. 
 And holy crap this is one hot book! It's dark in setting, but not necessarily in Lex and Dallas' relationship. I do think you'd need to read Beyond Shame first to really appreciate this book, especially for the world building and understanding the role sex plays in their gang. 
 8/13/14 - I just reread this book. Reading book 5 and wanting a character list to help remember who everyone was triggered a series reread for me. I really feel the same about this story as the first time I read it. Still really good and really hot, but same confusing feelings about Dallas and Lex.
