This is my very first Nina Pierce read and I enjoyed it. The story was quick & fast paced with tons of suspense that kept you turning the page. Deirdre (Dee) was such a fun character to read. She's had trouble in the past but she has clawed her way back and is all the stronger for it. She is not perfect but she knows what she wants out of life and has a plan to get her there. She just never expects it to include a man, especially after her history. Ayden is haunted by his past and feels responsible for everything that has happened (you'll have to read to find out what it is ;) ). The struggle that he goes through to forgive himself and to gain respect back was very believable and well-written.


This is book #2 in the series and while it can be read as a stand-alone, I would recommend reading book 1, Blind Her With Bliss. I have OCD (Obsessive Chronological Disorder) so I struggled with starting at 2, and while I wasn't lost, I just wish that during certain scenes, that I was familiar with some of the back-story. All in all it was a good solid book, however, it was pretty fast paced and I would have liked to get a little more character development, simply because they were so likable. I'll definitely go back and read the remaining books and hopefully that will give me what I'm looking for.
