REVIEW
5 Stars 

 I always turn to Sherrilyn Kenyon when I get into a reading funk but usually I start from the beginning of the series and continue but considering I am doing a reading challenge and needed a book that was over 500 pages this was the perfect book for that.

 I am truly amazed that it still effects me the way it does. I am still heartbroken over the treatment of Acheron in his backstory. The anger I feel towards his family as well as Artemis is still there even though I know it's coming it doesn't make it any easier to read.

 As for the characters, Acheron has been and always will be one of my favorite characters of all time. He is a bad ass , with a huge heart and sarcastic(One of my favorite traits). I always smile when he finally get's his HEA.

 Tori, I am not sure why some don't think she is not right for him because for me I think she is perfect. Maybe because I can relate to her.

 In the end all I can say this will always be no matter how heartbreaking it is, my favorite book of all time and series as well.
