I have to admit that I wasn't too sure about this one when I first started reading. Too much blood, gore and torture are hard for me. Right when it got to the point where I was feeling that maybe I would have to pass...it was finished. The story continued on.
I found myself enjoying the character development. Yes, there were a couple more scenes that made me cringe, but they didn't last long, and were vital to the storyline.
Eve does seem to be fairly innocent in the beginning. I only read the sample so I haven't yet seen her find her dark side. Thank you for sharing that in your review.
I was a little on the fence about this one, but now I'd find out how Eve handles all the changes and what happens between her and Boaz
Your review was the game changer. Thank you.

This makes me wonder if Eve’s power and her darker side were strengthened by her parents’ torture. This would be, in a way, a connection to our world in which some of the strongest people have been through the most difficult experiences!My overall impression of this book was dark. One particular way was the abuse that Eve endured from her parents, Erik and Sable. Eve's parents are convinced that their daughter has extreme magical powers and her refusal to use them brings her parents into a sort of rage. They would throw their only child into a torture room of sorts. The scenes depicted in this room were described so graphically, my skin crawled and I admit in cringing a bit, especially when a starving rat was used. Another way this book was dark were the scenes that showed Eve's darkness. These scenes, that include harming others, were full of evil and hatred that the reader wonders if Eve will be able to break through her darker side.
