I'm not sure what I was thinking that day. It was a normal Thursday, nothing new or exciting had occurred in the morning. I'd risen from bed, taken a shower and brushed my teeth. I'd then jumped on the 8:05 bus that ran a short distance between my house and the county library where I worked. The ride took its usual 15 minutes before it left me standing fresh faced in front of a building of gothic construction that was my favorite place in the world. After straightening my knee length skirt, I pushed open the door that led into the interior of the library.It was at that moment that my world would change - impossibly and forever. It was a fateful movement of wood that collided with the shoulder of a man that would alter my very existence. It wasn't fear that I felt at that moment - more like the feeling of being watched. It was the feeling of knowing that danger lurks - the sensation of the hair standing on end at the back of your neck.Looking back on a moment that happened so many months ago, I now realize that I should have listened to that feeling.As I would later find out, the man standing in front of me referred to himself as Master Lucas......and I was his next target… (more)

Wow!

Okay, I was very skeptical about trying this book out but I’m glad I did.

I will admit while parts did have me wondering why by the end I found myself enjoying the book. It’s a lot darker than I normally read, but it still kept me ensnared. I was surprised by the twists and turns that popped up as the story went on.

Will definitely be looking into more of Lily White’s books. ( )

At first I thought...is this guy a serial killer? He's a serial something...

The tone of this book is dark bordering on psychotic. There is a surprise thrown in at the end that left me stunned. I don't know why, there were hints throughout the book that things were not as they seemed. Even the few paragraphs and the end of the book have you asking, 'Hmm...did he meet the one? Why would she warn her off?'

I wish there was more on the background of Autumn. It seemed as if the author alluded that something in Autumn's past resulted in her reticence toward relationships with people but nothing was ever explained. I also wasn't crazy that so much time was spent on the book Lucas was writing. And the way HIS book ended really made me think it wouldn't take much for him to kill a woman just to see what it felt like. Have a feeling he would have liked it. ( )
