This book hooked me immediately I like Sarai but Victor and them as couple are boring. She has more chemistry with Niklas then with him.

This book gets 5 gold stars! It was so suspenseful and the twists involved in the plot were perfect. I haven't been so addicted to a book since I read the Kathleen Turner Series.
I did not like the author's other series The Edge of Never mostly because it felt too young for me but when I read a review commenting on the romantic suspense element I decided to give the sample a read and it absolutely hooked me from the beginning and kept every page turing. You feel as though you understand Sarai's decisions and while I am more inclined towards narratives the point of view from Victor was just enough to help build the relationship in the book especially since he is an anti-hero. This book crosses lines with good vs evil and even makes you wonder if you just justified the means to an end. If you like to read happily ever after this is not for you but if you like story rough and real give it a try. I LOVED IT!

JA Redmerski is a fantastic author. There was suspense, romance, and feelings that seemed soo wrong but soo right at the same time. A gripping tale and I can't wait for more.

Ah-maz-ing!
Ohh Victor.. you could point a gun to my head anytime. Wait I don't really... ahh yes, I do really meant that.
This book will make you FEEL! It won't be all good.. and your soul will hurt, your heart will ache, and your emotions will be all over the place. But it will be absolutely worth it. Trust me! I was disgusted, sad, and at times I was rooting for things that only a special kind of author could pull off. This book deals with some very disturbing situations.. situations that I should have been horrified by. Rape, enslavement, torture.. you get the point. Was I horrified? Absolutely! But by the end I was praying for a real Victor to show up in my life and swoop me away. I mean come on, that thought should be terrifying right?
Let's talk about Victor. He was fabulous. From the very start when he shot that guy in the head I thought to myself, "hey, I like this dude". Probably not what I should have been feeling but J.A knew just how to introduce him and develop his character, making him completely desirable even with all his undesirable qualities (killing for a living -- pfft no biggie).
And Sarai! I loved, loved her! She went through so much. She is obviously quite screwed up (I mean who wouldn't be) but she is still capable of love and compassion. I PRAY that Victor and her find a way to be together. I will be devastated if that doesn't happen.
My only negative comment? Well.. I really, really, really wanted that happy ending. I'm hoping that book 2 comes out ASAP and we see some more Victor and Sarai.. and dare I say it.. some gun action, with maybe a bullet wound or two.
All that rambling and the storyline probably still remains pretty unclear right? I was never very good at determining the fine line between information and spoiler so usually I just avoid it altogether. But take my excitement as a sign that yes you DEFINITELY need to read this!
