I was incredibly excited about the idea of such a popular movie from my childhood to be reimagined and brought to me as an adult. I loved beyond belief the little ways that the movie was brought in to this real world setting, playing on the names, reimagining scenes from the movie, etc. The very steamy sections if the book definitely made for an interesting read.
I listened to the audiobook and the casting for the voice of Tristan was perfection.

I thought this one was just okay. It dragged in certain areas. I really liked Sara though, she actually had a personality and was strong and independent, unlike Wendy from the first book. I loved the way the story ended. It came back full circle.

A few of my favorites quotes from the book...
"His tone is deep. As if it was made in hell, then woven through silk. A gentle caress that singes your senses."
"That's the difference between me and other people. They run away from the bad things, and I become them."
"But our strength is impatience. In planning. That is what topples empires. Together we rule, divided we fall."
"Death inevitably changes you. "
"I'll be damned if this woman wasn't molded in the heavens and plucked from the sky just for me. "
