This book was categorized as a romance, and does have an HEA, but is extremely dark. The author has woven Brothers Grimm fairy tale concepts through a plot that wouldn't have held up otherwise.

This is not a book for the squeamish, or those who don't like their romances darker than dark.

I thought it was well done.

Wow, this book had me on the edge of my seat the whole time, it was dark and moody. However, it was also past paced and kept me reading. If you have read the "Kushiel's" books, you'll appreciate the subtlety in Schwabs writing. I flinched at the moregraphic scenes in the book. The characters are tortured by the events of the past and neither know how to redeem or forgive themselves.

Historical Romance. Lillian finally escapes the clutches of her sadomasochistic stepmother, who is trying to groom Lily in her own image. In London, she meets up with the man she left behind...and who blames her for his ordeals. Can they overcome thier history, and have they truly escaped? Good book, but Castle of the Wolf is better.
