review 1: I really liked this book but I found that as I already knew what Dev was about from the back of the book I hated him right from the beginning. I think if I didn't know the fact he had to kiss a girl before midnight I really would have enjoyed the book more as I would have found it more suspenseful.I liked the development of Saintly and the power she gained throughout the book in believing in herself. She was a very believable character who had so many awful things happen in her life that you want something positive to happen to her - which you know is not going to be Dev. I am glad that she is able to find her happiness. I would love to read another book by Laura and know less about it next time!
review 2: This modern retelling of Bluebeard/Mister Fox with a pa... moreranormal twist is truly amazing. It has been a long time since I have been so enthralled with a book. I actually finished it a few days ago and still can not get it out of my head. Not only did she retell one of the darkest fairy tales I know, but she did it in a way that kept me guessing. At times I actually felt bad for Dev, the homicidal serial killer. True Story. I wanted for him to be able to get some kind of happiness. What is up with that? Amazing writing is what.The characters are what made this book more then just a retold fairy tale. Saintly was beautiful, complex and a whole lot of confused about her "gift" of sight. Jesse is lost, broken, kindand dead. Dev is immortal, deadly, charming and sort of a victim himself. Filled with darkness, suspense, honesty, love and hope, this book is one I will read again. I actually plan to get it in paperback as well as my e-version. It was that good.This is an New Adult book and I do not recommend it for teens due to some of the darkness and some of the honest portrayals of topics; including suicide and the mental health system. less
