He loves her. She wishes he was dead. There's a very fine line between love and hate. I have never loved two characters so much. While Elena was a deep pit of emotion, Tristan was like the cool water that filled it....but together they were more like a beautiful tornado. Their families are part of The Society, a place where blood, wealth, and loyalty are expected above all else. Thrown together basically some birth and knowing they were predetermined to be together, Elena made it her goal to push and punch her way through the boundaries but instead slowly realizes she's become a mere puppet for her father. With Tristan's help, she finally lets loose and Society be damned. Beautifully written characters, a plot that caused shivers, and some steam....utter perfection, Miss La Roux!!!

I really, really enjoyed this book. I'm not sure if I've read others from Alice but I know I will from now on. I was absorbed into the story and honestly didn't want it to end. I could have carried on reading about this pair forever

Both children born into the Society, where expectations are high and failures just don't happen, Elena and Tristian have to navigate the highs and lows of this political world. Gripping drama, and believable emotion, Ms La Roux has created characters that I cared for and a story that held my attention throughout. It’s my first time reading this author and I will certainly check out her other books.
