Abused, self-deprecating heroine, interesting world-building, neat characters. I liked this a lot. Can't wait to read more about Nevermore! probably won't check out the author's other work though, not into the chick lit-y stuff so much. ( )

⭐⭐⭐ : I liked it

° Third person perspective (switches among a series of characters)
° Other warnings: sexually explicit

I felt they fell in love too quickly, especially given everything they both went through prior to Lucy showing up at Gray's door. The first couple of chapters had a really interesting vibe. Kind of felt like a horror game, in some sense, with the rain and the unfriendly looks, event after event occurring with the protagonists reeling through them. ( )

This is the best Michele Bardsley book I've read to date. Her Broken Heart, OK books are relatively lighthearted fun (I read them when I'm in the mood for mindless), but this book really shows the breadth of skill Ms. Bardsley had. This book is not light-hearted, but it is amazing. When I finished this book my first thought was 'I really loved that book!'

The characters are well planned and written, the emotions are easily conveyed, you can really feel Lucy's despair and hope, Gray was uber sexy and his turmoil and guilt were very strongly felt. The characters had a life to them that was evident in every page.

This book far surpasses any of her previous work. ( )

Bardsley did an excellent job of world building. The characters are rich, the world makes sense, and she spends just enough time on the peripheral characters to inspire interest. The climax is a tad too epic but that's a minor complaint. ( )
