I read this book in a day or two. It is very atmospheric and I needed to know what was going to happen next. However, there was something, and I think it was the romance aspect of it, that kept bringing me out of the book. I know I say this a lot, but there are just some books I think would be better if the romance was minimized. And this is one of them. It didn't really vibe with the rest of the book, which was a shame. The themes of grief and death and moving on were amazingly done though. I'm definitely going to be checking out the author's other books.
