This book is as equally dark as the other two, but is the most beautiful story. There are times where you want to scream, times whens my knuckles were white from my grip on my tablet, I had faces of horror, of tension, and grins of love. If you got this far in the series then obviously you aren't totally against Tess and Q's relationship, despite it's "non-traditional" start. Well, this one will send you over the edge into adoring them. Love beyond love doesn't begin to describe how much (by the end) I loved this dark and twisted fairy tale. :)
