I also like the fact that Aisling makes Sam work for it.

He is also a class “A” Alphahole to Ash through the majority of the book, and it is so nice to see him fall. Shen is certainly a master of the anti-hero and Sam is as dark and dangerous as any she has written about in the past. Though the story is a good one and I really enjoyed how it all played out. It is one thing for a heroine to have a crush or to be attracted to the anti-hero, quite another to show him how much she wants him when he seems not to want her. In the years she was in medical school she saw him often at gatherings but rarely spoke to him.Īt first, the thing I didn’t like about this story was how Aisling got a crush on Sam from the get go and was way too desperate for him. She met him again a year later with her family.

He was her first kiss and then she saw him kill someone. The Story: Aisling and Sam met at a carnival when she was 17 and he 25. He also works as a fixer for Aisling’s Dad and brothers.

Once our story unfolded, and the truth came to light, I was the one to cut the cord. Sam and I were only allowed to love each other in the dark. I wanted to feed it, domesticate it, understand it. When other kids stayed awake at night fearing the pointy-toothed beast hiding in their closet, I longed to see mine. Maybe it was always my destiny to fall in love with a monster.
