HO.LY.THORNS.

This was my first Sierra Simone book, and all I can say is WHY DID NO ONE YANK ME OUT FROM UNDER THIS ROCK SOONER?! Holy cannoli, Batman. I LOVED THIS. It was so dirty, so well-written, so angsty and packed with tension. I was squirming the entire time I read it, and I couldn't devour it quick enough. Just... INCREDIBLE!

There is so much to love about this book. I don't want to spoil a thing and honestly, I hope you go in blind like I did. I didn't know what to expect, and I was sucked in from the very first page. The way Simone writes, it's haunting and brilliant. The setting is ALIVE -- the manor, the chapel, the little town, the weather. It all plays together in this beautifully orchestrated symphony to weave one of the most intoxicating reading experiences I've ever had. Truly a masterpiece!

I cannot wait for the next installments. I HIGHLY recommend this book and this author.
