Words like unnatural and impure started the whispers.
From the very beginning, Ivy Blackwood was different. She was only a child when she was accused of setting the fire, one she passively watched engulf the small house she had called home. Her fingertips burned and her hair singed. Some who watched her crossed themselves, convinced she was soulless for she showed no emotion at all. Calm and dispassionate, even when the screaming started that quickly turned to bellows of agony before dying into nothing but the roaring of the fire.
She was locked away where she couldn’t bring harm to herself or others. To all involved, they had protected the world from a monster, but sometimes things are not what they seem.

I was drawn to this book for two reasons: 1 - L.A. Fiore’s name because this woman writes such incredible stories and 2 - the beautiful cover. I think it’s best you (the reader) also go into this book blindly. I speculate it’s the best way for this story to grab you and consume you.
This was a spellbinding story to get lost in. I knew it was different going into it so I kept my mind open as I began reading. I’ll be honest, at first I was like whaaaaat is happening here?! and I wasn’t sure I was going to like it. As more of the story started to unfold, I was quickly drawn into Ivy’s journey.
Ivy and Bain have a special bond. It’s a love like no other. I enjoyed the way in which this story was told, how the bits and pieces were uncovered and the puzzle started making sense to both the reader and the characters. I was captivated and didn’t know which way L.A. Fiore was going to lead me next. This was not a book I could have even remotely figured out and I enjoyed the journey this amazing book took me on. However, this was a book that once it grabbed me, it didn’t let me go. I couldn’t read it fast enough and I didn’t want it to be over. Do yourself a favor and don’t miss this book!
