Spoiler  This book contains major triggers for child loss, infant loss, and domestic violence. However, this book is a whirlwind and didn't end at all how I thought it would. I never expected Verity to die, I more expected her to do the killing. I'm still not sure which side of Verity to believe; the manuscript or the letter. Lowen started out as a likeable character that was 'forced' into the situation. But, by the end of the book she seemed very much like a willing participant.

Also, I had Lowen on my list of future baby names and now I won't ever be able to look at a child and like that name...
