** spoiler alert ** 2nd read review:

I cried. I actually cried. I was so sad that Clare and Roy didn't stay together. They enlightened each other and there was so much beauty in that. They are my favorite literary couple, right under Catherine Linton and Linton Heathcliff. And I also cried after their first kiss. I just love them so much together.

1st read review:

When I first read this book, I was going through a mild depression. I didn't know who I was anymore, and that made me even more sad and angry. I felt hopeless, alone, and vengeful. When I read the first few pages, I immediately didn't feel those depressing emotions anymore. It was a short-term break from my mental suffering, and I needed that severely. I felt like someone understood my pain, like Clair. She perfectly describes how depressed and frustrated she was when her demon was exorcised from her. Just like how myself was taken away from me.

I would have to thank Jimmy Cajoleas for writing this book.

This is my 3rd favorite book of all time! And it will stay that way forever!
