I really enjoyed this one a lot. The story was exceptionally creepy on many different levels, not the least of which was the creep factor in finding out about her history.

Small points off for the angst over Devlin. I'm already sick of hearing about him, I roll my eyes every time she waxes poetic about him, and I can't wait until they either do the deed or get the hell over it. Insta-love that is unrealized is a really ugly premise for a slow burn romance and this is book 2 of it. Every time she started carrying on about how she ached for Devlin I found myself thinking "For fuck sake, you only kissed twice, get over it already."

I'm also starting to get a bit frustrated with her repeating over and over her father's rules when all the old man told her was to pretend it wasn't happening. Seems to me the man could have given her some protection skills other than the Scarlet O'Hara "I can't think about that right now" trope. It's pretty insipid and I'm hoping she'll outgrow daddy's orders asap and acquire some skills.
