Scarlett has had a rough life abandoned, in and out of Foster homes, stabbed, unloved, unwanted. Out of the blue somebody shows up representing her useless father great thats all she needs! Or is it exactly what she needs to change her life?

This was an intriguing story I enjoyed getting to know the charecters and where they come from there backgrounds and struggles through life. The sex scenes were very steamy but also quite repetitive. Some of the bits of the story do seem like there repeating things that have been said before.
It is a lovely story about finding yourself, love family and fighting demons and doubts.

A nice story overall just a bit repaetative in places.

"This is a visceral tale of an artist (Max von Sydow) whose mind begins to unravel as he’s plagued by insomnia and macabre visions of demons. His pregnant wife (Liv Ullman) is so concerned by this that she begins to stay awake with him night after night as he tries to process his grief. This is clearly a very personal work for Bergman, who admirably attempts to grasp and explore an existential issue for all artists. The pursuit of knowledge or truth or clarity or enlightenment—whether by means of artistic expression, religious belief, or science—has the capacity to rend an individual’s personality to shreds. As the saying goes, there’s a fine line between genius and madness."

Lilou has this way of writing slow building romances that blend action and friendships into one really interesting story. This was no exception.

I loved Nero; he kicked arse, was really caring of his team and sounds like a great bed partner ;P

Stella was pretty cool, too. She didn't give in at any point, not when being attacked by demons or tested for her abilities. She was strong willed and one really lucky girl to land Nero.

I liked the concept of the story, it was entirely new to me and I was intrigued how it would play out. I wasn't disappointed and will be looking forward to other books in the series and by the author.
