Janine Janine Janine. There are no words I could write that could do this book justice. I have been waiting for Lacey and Blackie. This couple grabbed my attention and I have been dying to know their story. And Lord what a story it is. Lacey is dealing with a disease that a lot of people deal with. She has overcome that disease even with everything that she had gone through. Blackie is dealing with an addiction. But he doesn't deal with it so well. Bring these two together and hold on. This was so very well written. Two amazing characters that are so well written that you feel everything they are going through. I love Janine and her books because she brings out every little emotion. But she does it with grace. This is the first in this duet and may can't come soon enough. I have to know what goes down between these two. Will they get their happy ever after? Will Lacey be able to survive the pregnancy and her disease she deals with every day. Will Blackie become a better person? Just a book that grips you from the beginning and has you turning every page to see and feel what is going on between these two. I freaking loved it and want more.

I'm so in love with these characters that its almost creepy!!
Lacey and Blackie's story is not for the faint of heart. It's raw and gritty and soul crushing.
The writing by Janine as always is what makes this book (and all of her books) a step above! She sucks you in and makes you feel like a part of the world. (Gah, I want to be a part of this world lol)
AND THAT CLIFFHANGER!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Can't wait to see whats next!!
I hope we continue to get more of these characters for many years to come!!
Over here waiting on part two....shaking like a crackhead!!!!

Blackie is an addict. Lacey is bipolar. They're constantly trying to find ways to hold each other up. Their love knows no bounds and they accept the darkness that lives in the other. They have learned to watch for the signs and bolster each other so they don't fall. But Blackie can't fight his demons and Lacey can't fight what she can't see. When the lives of all Satan's Knights comes under pressure, can Blackie keep his ish together?
My 16 year old daughter asked me how I could possibly enjoy a story that I've read before. When I explained that although I've read it before, it's being told from a different perspective, she gave me 'the look'. The 'mom, you're nuts' look. Because some people can't understand how full a story becomes when told from multiple points of view. It's like getting to see every side of it, with a unique twist you can only get from seeing it through the eyes of different people. So yes, I pretty much already know what's going to happen, but getting to see each situation through the eyes of Blackie and Lacey made the experience that much more real.
It sure didn't hurt that this story was written by Janine Infante Bosco. There ain't ever gonna be a time I'll stop reading from this woman. She writes characters who are raw and gritty and real and her stories are full of so much heart. As the reader, you get to experience every nail biting moment and the heartache of the characters and the situations they find themselves in, but you also get to watch them redeem themselves, claw their way out of utter despair, and triumph over their obstacles. I can't get enough of these people!
This book may end on a cliffy, but I'm reassured that part two will be following quickly. I have to know how Blackie and Lacey survive their latest ordeal and I need to bathe a bit more in their unorthodox lives. Oh yeah, and swim in their unconditional love.
