I really struggled to finish this one, which is disappointing because I really liked the White Rabbit series. I thought the premise was very interesting...the idea of immortal warriors being punished for opening pandora's box ages ago and having the demons of violence, death, wrath, etc. bonded to them. I think that's the only thing that kept me going...wanting to just find out what happened. Because the romance was just not doing it for me. I'm usually pretty forgiving of insta-lovey romance but this was really too much for me. There was no build up at all and they fell into this obsessive love practically right after they met. I couldn't get behind it at all and it was kind of ridiculous and annoying. Even after sticking through to find out what happens at the end, it was kind of underwhelming. Overall, just disappointed that I didn't like this more.
