Wow I loved it! I read it in one sitting I was captivated the entire time. It's the first Tara A Devlin original story I read but I will definitely read all her other novels!
I got confused at the start as I thought the main character was a man so I imagined a man at first until someone in the later chapters said it was a a woman, causing me to have to imagine everything again. :/
