After reading Corrupt and Hideaway, I couldn't imagine how Penelope would get me to like Damon. He was just such a menace and more like morally black than morally grey. But somehow, she did it. Guess that's a testament to good writing. Reading this installment, he felt so lonely and misunderstood, not to mention traumatized. Winter is a great match for him. Can't wait to read the last novel in the series.
