I don't know why I like this series.  Damon was a horrible guy and I really didn't see any redemption for him that I could be satisfied with but he may be my favorite character now.  Totally selfish unless you are his people.   He had to have super special love and Winter was perfect. I loved how he treated her disability as a non issue, he let her truly live.  I am really liking the growth of all the charcters, the town story line of wealth and intrigue and I am super excited to finish with Will's story.

Was slow getting through it and the way Winter and Damon’s relationship developed wasn’t great but overall an ok read. All of the description and retelling of Damon’s past was very graphic and not sure if there are enough warnings when it comes to this book. He is by far the most interesting character and has the best character development of the series.
