Read from January 17 to 19, 2012 — I own a copy
Ok, so as always, thanks so much to R2R & the author for giving me a copy to read for my review! I am so happy I read this book! and I will try to do it justice, but I doubt anything I say will make anyone get how great this story is!
Heven is the main character in which, she starts off one of those very happy, popular girls (but not a mean one) and things are really looking up! Yes, she's had some loss and sadness in her life, but it doesn't make her cold, until the night she loses everything, or so she thinks so... I understand what it's like to think people look at you differently after an accident, and I feel really bad for her, but I am so glad some things changed, for the better, when Sam came into her life....
And then there is Sam... *sigh* don't you just wanna wrap him up and put him in your pocket! I DO!! Heven knows he has secrets, but she has fallen for him so hard, and he has made her life 1000 times better that she just over looks the strange things that happen sometimes. Until prom, and then she learns a few things about Sam, and she kinda loses it... who wouldn't, ya know! I think I need a real life Sam, supernatural elements and all :)
Now, the supernatural part of this book is my favorite part, because you really never know what is going on, who are these bad guys, and what the hell they are. I mean, you try to guess by some of their actions and words, but trust me, YOU ARE WRONG in what you guess... I was, WAY OFF! :) but, ya know, that's the best part, the mystery in coming to love a book. It's a little romance, a lot of mystery, and some great action!
The author puts her words into forms that are just GREAT! You feel the pain Heven & Sam feel, or their happiness, or the way I really wanna slap Heven's mother with a brick in a glove... sorry, she's not a bad person, just misguided....
My real advice, is read the prequel, BEFORE, (you don't have to but it makes things more awesome) and then let yourself go in this fantastic world Ms. Hebert has build, and I cannot wait to get my hands on the next one! This book gets a great 5 stars from me :)

“She put a hand up to her scars, whispering, "Your love comes with a heavy price tag.”

“I'm hideous"
"You could never be hideous"
"Forget it" I wanted this conversation over.
"I can't forget it," Gran said, not giving up so easily. "I don't like to hear you talk about yourself that way. Your scars do not define you, young lady. Your action do.”

“They tried not to stare, but they couldn't keep their eyes away. I was a freak now. I made people uncomfortable and not necessarily because of my scars-but because what my scars represented. Danger, fear, and the unknown. Something had had happened to me, something not even I could remember. They all probably thought that I was crazy, that I somehow did this to myself. I couldn't blame them. ow could I? They might be right.”

“The first time I saw her had been an accident. I was racing through the woods, attempting to run away from what I am, from the life I lived. Before I even heard her I caught her scent and I was lost. I stopped running and turned, seeking out what called to me. When I found her my life changed.”

“The road ahead holds many tests challenging everything she ever believed. I whispered a prayer for her inner strength to guide her on her path. She was going to need it.”
