What I got from the book: This is a new author so I definitely had no expectations. I was delighted to find I enjoyed reading this book and am looking forward to the second installment of this series. The characters Mari and Raith were developed just enough in this first book to leave me looking forward to more of their back-stories, especially Raith’s. I will tell you I had become bored with vampires but was finally happy to have a different twist on the lore. This is no Twilight. It is better and a little more grown up.

Insomnia Scale

What I got from the book: An entertaining read with several unexpected twists and turns. The story might have been fleshed out a little more but overall I was happy with how things turned out. The unexpected hero is always the best and possibly the most romantic. You do get this from the novel. I may have to indulge in this author’s other novels in the near future.

What I got from the book:

This is a situation where upon completion of this book I really need to review it immediately. I have not stopped crying yet. So you will need to have some tissues throughout the read. I do not normally read this type of genre but was given the book from the author. It is compelling reading and very telling as to how cruel criminals are. To be treated as an object and not seen as a human being has to be the most horrible feeling in the spectrum of feelings humans even have. This comes out in the telling of this young woman’s story clearly. It is a necessary story to tell since it sheds light on a very really industry that should not exist. It is one thing for a person to choose prostitution and to make a living at it. It is entirely another for a person to be forced into slavery to be given as sex slaves and hardly have proper food or medical care and to be punished if they are too sick to work. How could any customer want to exploit unwilling participants? It is sick. They are just a criminal for providing the incentive in the first place for the business.

I know this is not the usual way I write my reviews, but I had to editorialize a little after reading this. Check out the links provided and find out if there is a way we can all put an end to human trafficking of every kind.
