The mystery of love is greater than the mystery of death.
~Oscar Wilde~

Adoration is not profound enough a word to express the depth of my love for her. From the moment she walked into my life and set my heart and soul on fire, not a day's gone by that she hasn't plagued my every thought.

We were each other's completion. She was everything I wasn't--the sigh to my roar, the virtue to my sin, the cure to my wounds.

We Were One.

Until the unthinkable happened.

That I've survived such a tragedy without having completely lost it, is a mystery in itself. But as my mind starts to blur the lines between reality and my delusional heart, I begin to question everything, including my sanity.

And then the real mystery begins . . . 

My Rating:

Favorite Quotes:

I had enough female company to keep me busy to put any more thought into the off-limits twin and her shotgun-toting mother.

If she wanted to listen to an asshole, she would’ve farted.

The times between seeing or hearing from her felt almost intolerable. Whipped didn’t even begin to cover how I was feeling.

My Review:

This book was seventy percent heartbreak and an angst-fest, yet I couldn’t seem to leave it alone and kept picking my Kindle back up while groaning at myself for being so weak.  I missed the humor and taut suspense from the first book and angst is just not my friend, but an intriguing story definitely is and I just couldn't quit it.  Elizabeth Reyes must have studied up on some of those magical dark arts, as despite all that floundering in Nico’s morose misery, I had to know how the missing pieces would come together for the conclusion.  Retreading several of the same scenes from the first book in the series but now from Nico’s POV helped me recall important details that I had since forgotten and further plucked at my curiosity.  Nico and Maddie’s actual time together had been relatively short before her fatal accident, but their relationship had been passionate, all-consuming, and soul deep.  So much so that Nico’s despair felt like an added character.  I enjoyed the ending and with a sigh of relief was glad I stayed the course but now find I am already bedeviled by the intriguing glimpse of the next installment featuring Nico’s brother.  Sigh…
