I am not really wicked! Love me and you shall see.

What an absolute delight!! I enjoyed reading this book so much!! The prose is excellent and accessible and keeps you absolutely hooked. I had to physically restrain myself from continuing to read because I wanted it to last longer. The climax is wonderfully done in my opinion. Erik's speech at the end is so full of melancholy and love and passion. 
I am kind of a sucker for characters like Erik and this book delivered. I am glad I read it.
