becsa's review against another edition
4.0
This was a much more emotional book than the previous two and is definitely not for every reader. It deals with incest and sexual abuse and it can be very disturbing to some. That being said I thought the author did a great job of making you so involved with the story that you really wanted Arissa to come out on top and I was immediately on her side no matter what she faced.
Arissa was such a great character in that she was so afraid yet strong enough to get help to escape. Yet at the same time she was so afraid of what would happen if her dad would find her. That being said she craved a true and real love and when Lucien was able to show her a true love that wasn't one sided she felt safe with him and was able to develop into a more confident woman.
Lucien was so l,ove struck by Arissa but knew there was so much more to her due to the pain in her eyes. I loved that he stuck by her when everything was revealed and continued to do whatever he could to support her and be there for her. I felt so bad when she pushed him away and how he just wanted to do whatever Arissa needed him to do, even if it wasn't what he wanted. He really loved her and part of him was destroyed when he wasn't there for her when she truly needed him to be.
I really liked Fabian in this book and he is truly beginning to grow on me after hating him so much in book one. I feel like in this book he was really a "father figure" and I loved how he supported Lucien and Arissa. I also love that he and Sirene were still so passionate with each other!
I would love to see more of Arissa in future books as I loved this character so much and would love to see how she is getting through everything.
