I received and ARC in exchange for my honest review.
Starting this book, I wasn't sure it was for me. I thought it might be too dark and twisty. But after the first couple of chapters I was hooked. The heroine, Estella was easy to relate to and had me completely entranced, and the hero, Noah was intriguing. Now don't get me wrong this book was NOT sunshine and happiness, it was very dark and twisty, but just enough to make a really compelling, believable story. It was one of those books that had you routing for the H and h, even being complete opposites they were just so well suited and you wanted them to triumph.
There is also a whole subplot that mixes in just the right amount of supernatural to make it a really compelling story. I loved Estella and Noah's love story, but I was obsessed with Noah's past and how Estella fit into it. It was beautifully written and I am here for it.
TL;DR: Read this book, you wont be sorry!
