I was really hoping this one would have the whole gothic vibe, but I won’t put any spoilers. I read very few adult romances because I get bored. But, I can read Armentrout’s books and generally stay focused. As always the romance was great, but I have to be honest here, Lucian creeped me out a lot with the whole “Ms. Hughes.” I mean, she’s not seventy here! Most of Armentrout’s males are always dominant, but this guy was just I don’t know... he did grow on me, though.

My favorite aspect was actually the mystery and the atmosphere of what was going on with Lucian’s sister, mysterious footsteps, etc. I wish there would have been more of that. Now, I did guess early on what was going on, but it didn’t affect my likeness of the book.

Julia was a strong character, and I liked her independence. The other two brothers were pretty interesting. And I know Gabe’s book is next, but I was really hoping it would have been Devlin, because I really want to be in his head! Overall, it was a good read!
