This is the first of Sharon's books I've read, it won't be the last ! Going through the trauma with Jade and Rafie was well written, and the added characters of a loving Father and Luke made it all come together in a great way. I loved Lukes patience, and Rafie's absolute love for Jade. The bad guys were really bad, and in the end, got what they deserved and then some. I can't wait to dive into another of Sharon Sala's books !
