This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from the PR Agency in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.This book was my little haven the last few days.

Rayvin oh beautiful Rayvin. I loved her. I felt sorry for her, being run out of her own town when she was so young and had no one else to go to. I found her witchcraft intriguing. It's different from most other witchcraft I have read about.

What did  I think of Grant Michaels? Well to be honest I didn't like him very much. He believed his lying toe rag of a friend for years, he was extremely fickle. One minute he loved Rayvin the next he hated her. It was difficult to keep up.

de Sade was a very interesting character. You wanted to hate him for everything he's done but a little part of you also felt sorry for him. He'd been alone for so many years that you just wanted him to be happy.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a perfect mix of fantasy, paranormal and romance. I can't wait to read the others in the series and will be making space in my shelf for Tori's other books.
