I could have sworn I had already reviewed this book, but I guess I was wrong. This is another book that I've read many times over and I always come back to it. Yelena and Valek are my very favorite pairing out of all the literary couples I've read. Is it because they both speak fluent sarcasm and thus speak my language? Maybe. In any case, this story never fails to enthrall me. I was supposed to be (re)reading this for a book club, but before I knew it I was on the last chapter, well ahead of the book club's schedule. Whoops. To say that I highly recommend it should be fairly obvious by now. The audiobook is phenomenal, as well, so you really can't go wrong no matter what format you read it in.
