Review

The first thing to stick out to me was the cover. It is a very eye catching book cover. Next up when choosing a book is the synopsis, and I found the way that the synopsis gave me just enough information while captivating me with what the story was about drew me to it. 

I think this novel really connects to anyone who has dealt with abuse. It chronicles it from the new and wonderful feeling of love and lust to finding out he is not everything she thinks. The fact that he is a serial abuser really took this to another level. That brought his work into it and how he found his victims. 

This is a powerful first installment and I am excited to see what Diamond Ryan has for us next.
