. It was written so well it was like music spilling off the pages. I didn’t cry only because my friend was there, but if I was alone I would have. The relationship between Patrolous and Achilles made me believe in love although Achilles was a narcissist. He throws it all away for Achilles at the end and it really makes you see his true character. The end makes you want to read more although there won’t be. You know that they will be together in the underworld and that’s enough for me.
UPDATED REVIEW: I wrote this review years ago and I don’t agree with it all. I was watching a video though that said all of her 5 star books stuck with her emotionally, and well, this one has for me. I will be moving it to a 5 star book and coning back later to give my REAL REVIEW.
