Let me start by saying this was a great story line! I loved the concept and it started out really good! It grabs you from the first page and you can’t wait for the shoe to drop which happens literally at the end of the last chapter. What I struggled with was the middle and how the end was executed. The middle drug on and on and on. What should have take a couple of chapters was drug out and really lacked any oomph. The time line also jumped around and made it confusing to try to understand how long she had been with Cole and her healing. For as bad as Jonathan was and as powerful as he seemed, waiting a couple of weeks to do anything seemed odd, I wish there would have been more drama throughout with him and Trina finding herself quicker. I also found it odd that with as broken as she was and as much as she hated herself she got engaged to Cole so quickly. It lacked in a lot of important areas and I’m sad because this book should be a 5 star story!
