Publisher's summary

Everything done in darkness will eventually be brought into the light. I ran, but all it did was keep me one step ahead of my past. I tried to start over; new name, new identity. But you can't change your soul. A fresh start at college was just what I needed. For a while, it worked. I was the party girl, the one who seemed confident, but it was a lie. When guys kissed me - I felt only pain. When they touched me - nothing but fear. Deep inside, every girl wants to be the beauty in the story, to find someone who will see you as their world. But the truth? I was the beast. And as much as I wanted redemption, I wasn't fool enough to think I'd ever get it.

Until he walked into my life. I wasn't prepared to fall for someone. My scars were too deep, the wounds too raw. But he offered me peace, he offered me security. I should have known it was just another lie - I should have known that falling in love with my professor was a bad idea. But I was powerless to stop myself from falling. And he was powerless to catch me. Because the darkness finally caught up to me, and as fate would have it, a cruel twist almost bled me dry. But I'm stronger than I knew. I'm stronger than you think. You think you know my story, but you don't - after all everyone has Shame in their lives - and I'm no longer afraid to show you mine.

Best in the series

This was the best book in the series. Others were middle of the road. Glad the final book provided redemption.

A Tale Of Forbidden Love And A Twisted, Dark Obsession

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes! The narration was great and the story was dark and suspenseful. If you've read the earlier books in this series, you won't want to meet this one. It has a darker feel than the earlier books but Van Dyken never fails to deliver a compelling story with captivating characters.

What did you like best about this story?

I loved the suspenseful storyline.

Which scene was your favorite?

The night of the masquerade ball when Lisa and Tristan don't know each other's identity.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The scene when Lisa sees herself being raped.

A little creepy

Not her usual style. Interesting but more like a thriller, though a bit predictable at times.
