Unfettered freewheeling deeply emotional whirlwind love affair - crazy journey that arrived where I (eventually) thought it might and damned if I didn't cry.

Like artwork I love but cannot possibly create, novels I love but could never write hold a very special place in my heart.

I should create a shelf here specifically for such books. Remarkable.

I have not read the caregiver series so as much as I did not like this book I don't want to say I hated it. I think if I had more definition to the characters and had more of a connection I would have rated it higher. I will definitely re-read after I read the caregiver series.

This book was seriously engrossing, especially after it reached the halfway point. Before the halfway point, there were dull moments with too much ordinary life showing through, but once it hit halfway, it took off. The book is about the last living superhero and his girlfriend. He was voluntarily exiled for being dangerous to others, and breaks that exile to save her from a thief. She falls in love, but is endangered by what makes him dangerous -- his out of control nightmares.

The struggle between the girlfriend and the government and between everybody and the nightmares is suspenseful, but it's the emotions that really draw you end. Particularly the last little bit.

The book has a few typos, like 'heroin' for 'heroine' and similarly silly faults. And no actual acts of superheroism occur, just ordinary heroism. Also, as I said, it's dull from about 10% to about 40% of the way through, but overall, it's worth reading.

I received an electronic copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I wondered as I read this book if it would have been better to read the first book in the series…first. The book does stand alone but I felt perhaps knowing why Armand and Scarlett were together might have helped. Scarlett was a complicated woman and as the story unfolded it became evident why she might have become so.

I have read other books dealing with drugs, cartels, government agencies, torture, good and bad but felt this book didn’t have the depth that some I have read have had. There was plenty of sex, torture, abuse and violence but for some reason there seemed to be something missing. Perhaps if I had read book one or knew where book three was headed it would be easier.

I also have to say that there were some mistakes in English that hit me right between the eyes. The one that I keep remembering had to do with two people fighting “hand in hand” when it should have been “hand to hand”. I know that is a little thing but for me to remember it a few days after finishing the book is telling.

I wish the author luck in the future and believe her stories will appeal to those who like a very dark love story.
